Rumors I'm hearing on Bears head coach opening via team sources:
- Lions OC Ben Johnson wants the job, but Ryan Poles has reservations. There is a lot of belief that Johnson would push Poles out.
- Johnson is said to want Commanders assistent GM Lance Newmark as the GM. Newmark…

Why would Flores be a disaster? He turned the Dolphins around and had back to back winning seasons before he left. Infact his first two seasons were better than Dan Campbell's first two. But Dan was allowed to have several high draft picks (Hutchinson, Williams, Gibbs, Sewell, Branch etc), a great O-line, an experienced QB, several decent pieces already there like St Brown, Mckneill etc and was lucky enough to have two good coach's fall into his lap in Johnson and Glenn.

Flores had none of the above. He had a young Tua when he personally wanted Herbert. Then his team's owner tried to get Peyton and Brady behind his back so what chance did he have? The guy has been a revelation with the Vikings and deserves another chance. Ben Johnson looks impressive with all those weapons in Detroit. But how does he look with lesser talent? That remains to be seen.
