Bears hire Ben Johnson as HC to 13M/yr ; former/Saints HC Dennis Allen is Bears DC, former/Saints asst Declan Doyle is Bears OC

But again though, what if we are doing these interviews and the “not safe” hires are indeed showing us that they are not safe? Why does everyone just assume all of these interviews are going 1000% perfectly?

What if we are making calls around the league to people they have worked with before and are coming away unimpressed?

What if we are asking them simple questions that they don’t have a plan for?

What if we don’t like the demeanor of a candidate and have a hard time seeing them leading the organization, representing it in front of the media, etc.?

We just don’t know. All fans are going by literally is stat sheets of stacked teams these guys happened to be coaching.
You ask ”what if”, and I say jeezus, I sure hope they’re doing all that! And then some! I choose to believe 2nd interviews, in person, are happening for a reason?!

I didn't concoct criteria to support a given conclusion. I'm hoping it's the exact opposite...let the candidate be determined by the criteria. Forget ”safe”......think Lombardi! I can't be anymore clear than that. If you're picking up anything else from my perspective, you're reading too much into it.
