Ben Johnson on Caleb Williams:
“It’s been difficult to just sit down and study every throw, but plenty of crossover tape over the course of the year and there’s no question that this guy is talented. I remember standing on the sideline last game, and you can hear the ball whistle by you. He’s got quite a fastball and has some creativity to him. He can extend plays and is accurate down the field as well. I haven’t really dove in and can tell you much more beyond that, but he’s been impressive from afar.”
Ben Johnson on potentially becoming an NFL head coach:
“I think there’s a burning desire in every man to find what he’s made out of. Yeah, there’s a fire there. When that time is? I don’t know.”

Is Harrison's new at-home mic better audio? Yes or No
Why would Ben Johnson leave his career in the hands of the McCaskeys?
Lions are going to fight tooth and nail to keep Ben Johnson. His family likes where they live, he’s not in a dis functional organization and he can make any plays he wants. Bears organization isn’t any of that.
Y!!!! I think he would be a good fit for the Bears! I would also like to see the Bears make an offer to Ron Rivera to bring him back as a Defensive Coordinator.
If Ben Johnson becomes our HC I hope he brings the O line coach with him…
Why Ben Johnson though??
Ben Johnson has made several hints that he would take the Bears job if offered.
why is vrabel so good he got fired for a reason and he's a defensive minded coach hope they don't go that way
Another Matt nagy
Ben Johnson as head coach
Josh McCown as OC
Rod Marinelli as DC
Mark Brunell as QB coach
Doesn't matter it is the Bears and somehow , someway it will be screwed up
CAN WE GET A REAL NUMBER 2 QB NEXT YEAR PLEASE WHO CAN THROW THE BALL MORE THAN 10 YARDS WITH NFL ZIP. BAGENT BLOWS CHUNKS. CALEB IS LIGHT YEARS AHEAD OF FIELDS AND I LIKE FIELDS. FIELDS IS ONLY BETTER AT RUNNING WITH THE BALL——THATS A REAL PROBLEM HE IS SUPPOSED TO THROW THE BALL.
Yes
Y
Depends what HC structure he brings. Is he still going to be Ben Johnson if he has to oversee the whole team, or will he take the approach of just letting his DC have full control of that side of the ball.
I feel Caleb’s downfield accuracy has been pretty poor this season. He has flashed potential from short to mid, but the deep ball still needs work.
This man looks amazing, please take a shot Mccaskeys, but if not definitely get Vrabel our locker room needs more confidence
When i read the title i thought ben said something bad about Caleb, glad he didnt
Getting Matt Nagy vibes from Ben Johnson, idk

GARY KUBIAK as Bears HC, 63yrs old
Definitely has years Experience ! And I'm sure he tons of connections for picking his Coaching staff
Andy Reid is 68 yrs old
Jim Harbaugh 60 yrs old
John Harbaugh 63 yrs old
This guy worried about a coach when u got clowns calling the shots. Let hardbaugh walk last year cause team president is a bum…they dont want to win…sell the team!!!
Why should we want him? Dude BARELY survived the worst Bears team ever…
Great video and sound Harrison! I enjoy all of your videos, so thanks!
Merry Christmas Harrison, and yes to Ben Johnson!
Audio is cleaner
It is crisper Harrison, you were a little bass-ey monotone at times in the sound. Your a great speaker. I think it does sound good 👍
Hire Ben Johnson quick and in a Hurry
The mere notion of Ben Johnson landing in Chicago is abhorrent. I mean to the point of literally vomiting, seriously. I'd rather see him in the AFC. God, I hate the Bears.
If the rumors are true that the Bears would be willing to launch Poles if it meant getting the HC they want, Poles should walk right now. Have some self-respect, man!
No matter who they hire, I won't be excited until I see the end result. I have zero faith in this team.
