Bears Building An Avengers-Level Coaching Staff For Caleb Williams
Is HC responsible for hiring QB1’s stylist, wardrobe consultant, and social media team, or is that the GM’s job?
My HC BEN knows how to put a very good group together. I expect him to do the same in the draft and free agency, making the Bears competitive and respectable, and not a laughingstock and total embarrassment, this season.
The talent level of coaches is light years ahead compared to what Flus was dealing with. Nagy had an expensive DC but everything else was bad. I wonder if part of the negotiation with Johnson included the budget he had for his staff??
This is a good list….I was wondering where Ben Johnson was with regard to building the coaching staff. The Bears Website won’t do that until all the coaches have signed the contracts.
Thanks for the list, Dave.
It looks like HC Ben is putting together a first-class staff.
