Does Ben Johnson have a shot at winning NFL Coach of the Year?
The views and opinions of Layla Rahimi, Marshall Harris, and Mark Grody should not be taken too seriously. Especially when they give advice. Do not take Marshall's analogies literally. Especially when it comes to Russell Dorsey. The sports thoughts of Rahimi, Harris, and Grody may change at any time. It's just sports. Okay, thanks, bye.
Rahimi, Harris, and Grody. 10 to 2 on 670 The Show.
Listen to Tom Izzo calling out one of his players' defense.
You can't guard my mother.
My mother. Tom Izzo is 70 years old.
What impact do Al Harris and Declan Doyle have on the Bears coaching staff?
We're to that point.
Dorothy Izzo, his mother, 99 years old.
Tom Izzo was asked about it in the post-game press conference. Has to be.
I'm hoping that it ticks him off and maybe he'll play better angry because check USA Today tomorrow, him and my mom will be going at it in a nursing home and a gym and we'll see how he does. I'm glad he added the gym part. Nursing home? do you have any idea what happens in those places dude some of it was unstomachable that might be my new favorite i'm adding that to the the widely used lexicon it's going to be up in the suggested because i'm going to start texting people unstomachable in the more modern lexicon of chemistry one that has been obsolete for years well it's better than when you use the word defecate what's wrong with the word defecate it is a medical term it's
just violent it sounds so violent on the air come on everybody defecates also why did he have to give his mom the extra six months at 99 my mom is 99 and a half you know what i'm with that i think the younger you are and the older you are you bring in the months how old am i 384 months and i'll say this about the defecation part
He defecated on his own player's defense. That's exactly what he did. I'm hoping that it ticks him off.
Grody would be so offended right now.
He's not here. But I'll make sure to make a defecation reference tomorrow when Grody's back in studio. Layla Rahimi.
How is DJ Moore's future with the Bears being evaluated?
Marshall Harris. Mark Grody. Middays 10 a.m. to 2 on Chicago Sports Radio 670 The Score. The Score.
Well, well, well, thanks to Tyler Buterbaugh and that fabulous open. Grody is all caught up. This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 670 The Score. Mark Grody is back from Hallis Hall. And the good news is we got some news in the NFL. This was something that I expected to see at some point. I felt like I felt this way for many months, at least dating back to like early October or so. Ben Johnson deserved to be in the Coach of the Year conversation, and now he is one of the nominees. So when you consider Coach of the Year and Ben Johnson, I don't think it's any surprise that he's part of the group who is nominee. Nominated? There we go. as part of the group who is nominated.
You have been nominee.
You've been nominated. Wait a second.
What factors contribute to Ben Johnson being a Coach of the Year nominee?
That's not how this works.
In the known.
Yes. The other knowns are Jaguars coach, Liam Cohen, Seahawks coach, Mike McDonald, Kyle Shanahan of the 49ers, and perhaps his biggest contender, Mike Vrabel. But yet another reason why this bear season was such a positive. And on the heels of hearing Ben Johnson and Ryan Poles talk yesterday about I've thought this for a while, that Ben Johnson should be a part of it. And I think given the turnaround of this particular team, you can make the argument that he should be coach of the year. That's how I feel. But it's stiff competition when you consider the group that he's among.
Well, look. He certainly was going to be a finalist because this is how finalists work when you talk about the NFL Honors Awards. AP vote, top five vote getters. They're the ones that are invited to the honors because they are the top five vote getters. That's what being a finalist means in this case. Unfortunately for Ben Johnson, his team didn't have as much of an ascension as some of the other coaches' teams. Now, if I had to vote, I would vote for Liam Cohen. I think his turnaround, his being a first-time head coach in the first year, he had the most impressive regular season showing. I know a lot of people are on Mike Vrabel.
