Maybe it is premature at this point to begin talking about potential head coaches for the Bears in 2025. But it's beginning to look like the team is heading for a new coaching staff. Firing coaches is easy, but the Bears haven't been able to get the hiring part right.
1. Who do you like, and why?
2. Are you worried about hiring another rookie HC?

Yes, I am worried about hiring a new rookie HC. But it is not often that you get the chance to hire a proven successful HC. The good ones are not made available. That is what made last year unique with Harbaugh. We just have to somehow pick the rookie that can win as a HC. Not easy to do and we are not good at it. I think we did ok with the QB. Not sure if we can do it again or if we used it all up on the QB. But we are not doing him any good.
No, it is not premature to start this discussion. Warren and Poles had better be well into it by now. {I know* they read what we post here, so that is a direct hint, guys.}
Ben Johnson would be fine with me. I'd skip Billicheat. Brady and Flores sound promising. Don't have too much knowledge beyond those.
*If not, they should. We seem to know more about the game than Flustered does.

I'm getting ready to go to bed, but had one last thought about this HC hire thing. I know this is asking a lot of you BIH, but for the good of the team would you be willing to contact Halas Hall and offer them a consult with the rubber chicken regarding the hire? If Poles would take that advice I'd drive the chicken to William P. Hobby Airport ASAP. I mean that literally... I'd swing by your house and drive the little dude to the airport and make certain he gets on the plane to O'Hare.

I would go after these candidates:
1) Brian Flores - Would require a Whiz Kid at OC, but dang that defense would be amazing with the talent we have. 2) Dave Toub - The most complete candidate with the most experience and he's a winner. He might be my #1. 3) Ben Johnson - Would require a Whiz Kid at DC and would ensure Caleb gets developed.
I don't have an opinion about Belichick one way or another. I'm not against it and would be fine if we hired him.
What experience does Dabe Toub have? Serious question. His name comes up every time the talk about Bears HCs. He has no experience on the OFF side, almost no experience on the DEF side. He's never called plays at any level.
Here is his coaching resume:
UTEP (1986) Graduate assistant UTEP (1987–1988) Strength and conditioning coach Missouri (1989–1997) Strength and conditioning coach Missouri (1998–2000) Defensive line coach Philadelphia Eagles (2001–2003) Special teams & quality control coach Chicago Bears (2004–2012) Special teams coordinator Kansas City Chiefs (2013–2017) Special teams coordinator Kansas City Chiefs (2018–present) Assistant head coach & special teams coordinator
Whats the attraction to an organization here? I'm not trolling, what does he bring other than 3 SB rings as a special teams coord? Again, as a special teams coordinator, not a play caller, not a play designer, not a game planner....

Toub has been coaching for an eternity and is regarded as either the best or one of the best special teams coaches in the game. He has spent a considerable amount of time in KC with Andy Reid as well.
A Head Coach should spend his time head coaching. Not on calling offensive or defensive schemes. He needs to lead men.
There are OCs and DCs for a reason. Let them call the plays.
