00:00I don't believe the Bears are the right fit because the Bears, I know, are looking for
00:04someone to get the most out of Caleb Williams. And even though they haven't closed the door
00:07on a defensive coach, a defensive coach mid-70s, that's not the way to get the most out of a
00:13quarterback that you want to develop into a franchise quarterback for the next 10 to 15
00:17years. They need an offensive coach. That's going to be the key. That's the decision I think they're
00:22going to come to. So I can understand why I'd be interested in the Bears job. That apparently was
00:27one of the jobs that Bill Belichick was eyeing. But they're going to be looking for an offensive
00:31guy, I firmly believe, a guy a lot younger and a guy that they can join to the hip with Caleb
00:36Williams like Sean Payton and Drew Brees once were. So I think it's good he wants back in. I
00:41hope he gets some interviews this year. Maybe there is a perfect fit out there. I just don't
00:45think it's Chicago. And the idea that Pete Carroll wants back into the league is one thing to your
00:53point. But the situation with the Bears and how enticing Caleb makes this job then, how should
01:00we anticipate the Bears job will be viewed? How it will rank in the scope of various jobs that
01:05either are currently or will eventually become open? Well, most jobs come open because the team
01:12isn't very good. The Bears job came open because the team was expected to be a lot better than it's
01:18been. And that contributed to the decision to move on from Matt Iberflug. So for most of the
01:24jobs that likely will come open this year, you're not going to have a young franchise quarterback.
01:28Now, that's going to be highly attractive to the candidates who had high regard for Caleb Williams
01:34going into the draft and whose opinions about Caleb Williams have only been reinforced by some
01:40of what we've seen this year. And it's hard to get a full read on what he's going to be.
01:44But he's been arguably the best thing the Bears have had this year. And there is enough there to
01:49feel confident that with the right coaching, with the right help around him, he could become
01:55a franchise quarterback.
