Hiring Ben Johnson changes everything for the Chicago Bears franchise

Hiring Ben Johnson literally changes everything about this franchise and it's all the way back. Ben Johnson was the hottest ticket in the last two coaching hiring cycles... He picked the Bears, which makes me think that he thinks Caleb Williams is special.

The outcome of Ben Johnson's tenure is pending as this is a new hire in the episode timeline.

Urban Meyer will get the Jaguars to an AFC Championship Game

I'm going to say that Urban Meyer won't be an abject failure. Now, what does that mean? I think Urban Meyer will get the Jags to an AFC championship game. I don't know if he'll last more than five years.

Urban Meyer was fired before his first season even ended, finishing with a 2-11 record.

Urban Meyer won't last longer than three and a half years in the NFL

Urban Meyer, I don't think he'll last... longer than three years in the NFL. I think it's three and a half. Three and a half is the over-under.

Meyer lasted only 13 games (less than one season).

Deshaun Watson definitely wants out of Houston

Deshaun Watson definitely wants out. I read an article. They essentially got hijacked by like a chaplain. Jack Easterby, he went into the office and made Cal McNair pray with him.

Watson formally requested a trade and never played for the Texans again.

The NFC North is currently a league of coaches named Matt

The next one is going to be – fuck, I wrote down the name. I think it's going to be Zach Taylor... But bonus point, if your name's Matt, because now the NFC North has three Matts as their head coaches. Three out of four Matts.

At the time of this episode, the Bears (Nagy), Lions (Patricia), and Packers (LaFleur) all had head coaches named Matt.

Josh McDaniels might be blackballed from NFL head coaching jobs

I think he has to sit out a couple years for what he did to the Colts, don't you? Do you think Josh McDaniels is a blackball case? Put that ahead of Colin Kaepernick.

McDaniels was not blackballed; he eventually took the Raiders head coaching job in 2022, though he did wait several years before getting another opportunity.

Tennessee fans effectively coach the team by vetoing hires

Well, they kind of are letting their fans coach their team next season by letting their fans tell them who they can and can't hire.

Factual recap of the influence fans had on the search, framed as a humorous take on 'coaching'.

Having a Chili's on campus helps a football program win games

This is [UCF's] first football season with an on-campus Chili's, and they're 11-0... Jimbo Fisher's record with a Chili's on campus, 78-17 with one national title. Jimbo Fisher's record without a Chili's on campus, 5-6 with zero national titles. Chili's wins football games.

While the records cited are factually correct correlations, the claim that Chili's *causes* wins is obviously satirical.

College football has lost its mind if Arizona State hires Herm Edwards

College football has officially lost its mind. When Herm Edwards gets involved, college football has officially lost its mind.

Herm Edwards was hired and had a tumultuous tenure at ASU that ended with his firing in 2022 amid an NCAA investigation.

Florida State is a much better program than Texas A&M

Isn't Florida State a much better football program? Why would you leave Florida State to go to A&M?

Jimbo did leave for A&M. Historically, FSU has more championships, but A&M's resources were the primary driver. Fisher was eventually fired from A&M as well.
