A name that well is ringing bells and continuing the ring bells is a name by the name of Ben Johnson. We had this interesting conversation on two Pros and a Cup of Joe, and I'm interested to get your guys' opinion on it. O Cho Sinko speaking of Ben Johnson, he had some interesting things to say about Ben Johnson and what his role could be in well helping out one Caleb Williams. I had this to say. I'm curious as to what you guys think as it applies to what's going on in Chicago and with Caleb Williams. Just take a listen to this, and then I want to get y'all's opinion, your takes on this. Let me tell you something. They better be glad this isn't a longer season because they could have ruined and maybe they have I don't know, but they are on the fringe of ruining Caleb Williams in one season?

I think the world expected way more from Caleb Williams right there. Cut it off. In totality, you could cut there. I think it's a different scenario. You look at Caleb Williams versus Bryce Young, It's like Bryce got in Carolina.

We are witnessing a can't miss, a generational talent compared to to Patrick Mahomes. Tesla go down like it's bad. All right, well done, Okay, that's wow. We didn't need the whole sound bite. But here's here's the point of of what was stated. Have the Chicago Bears ruined Caleb Williams? Now, some people came out and we're saying that Caleb Williams wasn't good enough to have been ruined in the first place. I think that's cap If you ask me, I think he's a he definitely is a generational talent. I think that is used too lightly fellas anymore. I think if a guy's good or he wins the Heisman, all of a sudden, we start to act like this is a generational talent.

I don't.

I don't.

I don't necessarily believe that because I don't believe that the Heisman Trophy winner is always the best player. You know, and I always go back to our year. You know, I was looking back at the rankings of players when we were coming out in two thousand.

Like what your your your accolades are and what you've earned as ultimately being the sayal of if you're if you're the best talent. But I will say this, Caleb Williams earn't the right to be looked at in a way where it drew comparisons to Patrick Mahomes.

I feel as though he went to the wrong situation because this this Chicago Bears team, for one reason or another, is not where they need to be as an organization, and I think that ultimately decays and ruins what you see with the product of the.

Do you guys agree with that, or do you see there being some other way that Caleb Williams can you know, possibly, you know, at an early stage, actually salvage his career.

Man when the Bears got rid of iber Flus, I felt like Ben Johnson, I said it weeks and weeks ago, he was the obvious candidate.

Obvious you won an offensive head coach.

The Chicago Bears have for as long as I can remember, outside of Matt Nagy, have defensive head coach, defensive head coach, defensive head coach. When you draft a quarterback number one, and had you paid Dj Moore what you pay him, you draft Roma Doonza in the first round, you trade for Keenan Allen. You need that quarterback to flourish, You need that quarterback to be developed. This is an indictment on the Chicago Bears front office organization that they felt like these coaches on the offensive side of the ball would do that. And coaching matters so much in the National Football League because they call every play of every single game offensively and defensively. Like the NBA, the players kind of freelanced. The head coach isn't calling every single play the NFL. The coaches have their hands in every play, and so the development wasn't there. There's good doctors, there's bad doctors. There's good people, there's bad people. There's good police officers, there's bad police officers. There's good football coaches. There's also bad football coaches. And that's just what he encountered in Chicago. And that's not you know, talking trash about any of them. Everybody isn't a good coach. He got stuck with some guys that aren't good coaches. Ben Johnson has shown to be creative and to be able to put a high level offense together in the National Football League year after year.

He is the by far and away obvious choice.

He is the by far and away obvious choice.

If you ask me all this, Pete Curroll wan to coach will Pete, you ain't coming to Chicago, buddy, you had your time. Like Ben Johnson is the obvious guy because Caleb Williams needs to be developed. This is a wasted year when you look at his development, but this year should be a learning year. Nothing is ever wasted if you take it as a lesson to get better and improve yourself. Ben Jonson is an obvious coach. Get it done.

But it's crazy how you know a young man highly towder coming out of college, and he has this one year and everybody's just ready to jump off the train and be like I told you so, he wasn't that good, you know, from a door. But I'm gonna take y'all back to nineteen ninety eight. Peyton Manning went to this league. He was three and thirteen. Peate Mannon through twenty six touchdowns and he had twenty eight interceptions in this rookie season. And I don't recall the scrutiny of Peyton Manning, of which Caleb Williams is receiving receiving right now. But I'm not saying that Caleb Manning, I mean, Caleb Williams is any stretch of what Peyton Manning was. But if you look at what's happening, the debacle at the Detroit Lions game, thirty seconds left in the game and they botched that, they fired Matt Ebersfus after that, and the tenth straight losses that the Chicago Bears have had. In nine of those games, Caleb Williams did not throw one interception. He didn't throw his first interceptions until last week against the Seattle for nine straight weeks. So there's there's something there. They have to find it. And between all the wide receivers Keenan Allen, DJ Moore and Romaduza, you bring him in, you bring over both of those guys in. You expect him those guys to, you know, just have a rapport, go on the football field and the magic happens. It doesn't happen that way. And between all those three wide receivers, they only have fifteen touchdowns between the three of them. The defense is ranked twenty fifth in the league. They're giving up three hundred and fifty points a game. So when you look at kayleb.

Hey, you remember when we was playing, if your defense gave up three hundred yards a game, you was trash. But now teams are giving up three hundred and fifty yards a game like it's nothing. But if you want to evaluate Caleb Williams, you know, evaluate the whole situation. And just like you said, the good coaches and bad coaches. And if you're looking at if you're looking at bringing in Ben Johnson from the Detroit lines, do you think Ben Johnson is really sitting there contemplating I can go over there and try to, you know, help Kayleb Williams reach his potential, or do I stay within the division because I do not foresee Caleb Williams being a better quarterback than Jared golf Is moving down the stretch. Would you make that decision if you're Ben Johnson.

Would you make that decision if you're Ben Johnson.

If I'm Ben Johnson, I take the opportunity and I go after offensive lineman, which I thought, you know this point was made Poles is a former offensive lineman. Why do you not start to build out your team around Caleb Williams starting with the offensive line first, which we would have to assume Ben Johnson understands it that way being around Dan Campbell as long as he's been. That's how he built out the Detroit Lions. So I think that there's enough talent if they're able to maintain those skilled positions. I think there's enough talent on this team where if you build out the trenches in Chicago and and for whatever it's worth, you know, Polls and Warren and company ownership and the mcclaskeys are if they stay out of the way and allow for a coach to come in, build it from the trenches. Out develop Caleb Williams. I believe that they can turn this thing around relatively in a short period of time.

It happens to be a Penn Station. But he's a legit.

That's a legit offensive tackle, the most legit that was on the board at the point in time that they had to pick. I'm just saying, you're looking at a quarterback that's facing getting his ass kicked all over the field and running for his life as soon as the ball is snapped every single play. So what good is it to have those types of skilled receivers on the outside if young Buck doesn't have any time to throw the ball. It just doesn't seem to make sense to me. But That's that's my take on it. I think you got to bring in a guy who would understand it better than Ben Johnson as to how you build out of offense and an offensive line and for that matter of a team a team on the defensive side of the ball too, in the same division. I think he has to. I think he has the recipe of how to do it. So, you know, we'll see how it goes. I mean, they might not be out that, they might not have a choice.

Dan Johnson should want that. It's a head coaching job with the consensus everybody thought Kaylor Woods is the best quarterback, not some everybody thought he was the best quarterback.

Huchman's out as Plexico Burs. I'm LaVar Arrington. In a matter of moments, we'll be getting a sports trending update and we'll talk a little bit about, well, what's going on with the Vikings. Yeah, Sam Darnold interested to hear what that's all about. But before we go into that, let's touch on a topic that is becoming more of a trend day by day. Fellas, we've just seen the news hurt the news saw the news of d jack Deshaun Jackson accepting the coaching job for one Delaware State. Now this comes on the hills of Michael Vick accepting the job at Norfolk State. It seems to me, now you know, people say, oh, it's a trend, this is long overdue, this, that and the other. Listen, former players have been coaching and accepting coaching jobs since the beginning of time. Is absolutely nothing new and unique about a former player accepting a coaching job and going into a coaching job in the industry. In fact, it's more common. I would say that what the trend is now is big name you know, marque names, superstar names, going into the coaching industry and actually getting the jobs and getting the opportunities to coach. And I believe what we're seeing is an evolution of how universities. It could possibly transition into the NFL. In the NFL level, I'm not so certain it will, but it could happen. But certainly at the college level, Guys, we're seeing a trend. You know, from Eddie George to Dion Sanders, they all started their coaching at small schools. And we could say it, you know, historically black colleges seem to be leading the way on hiring uh these marquee brand name athletes to come coach their players.

Huchman's out as Plexico Burs. I'm LaVar Arrington. In a matter of moments, we'll be getting a sports trending update and we'll talk a little bit about, well, what's going on with the Vikings. Yeah, Sam Darnold interested to hear what that's all about. But before we go into that, let's touch on a topic that is becoming more of a trend day by day. Fellas, we've just seen the news hurt the news saw the news of d jack Deshaun Jackson accepting the coaching job for one Delaware State. Now this comes on the hills of Michael Vick accepting the job at Norfolk State. It seems to me, now you know, people say, oh, it's a trend, this is long overdue, this, that and the other. Listen, former players have been coaching and accepting coaching jobs since the beginning of time. Is absolutely nothing new and unique about a former player accepting a coaching job and going into a coaching job in the industry. In fact, it's more common.

Is this a good thing?

Is this a good thing?

Is it?

Is it?

Is it a bad thing? What's the pros? What's the cons? How you guys see it. I look at Dion and I'll just say very quickly, I've been around. I was around prime for a lot of his his post playing career, and what he built. He had his coaching staff basically building and growing with them since Shador and Shiloh were kids, since Pee Wee League. And you and I know that this plex you you were there as well. You know they they were practicing with All Americans at the Under Armour All American Game every year. They built relationships with the organizations that create the four or five star rankings. Deon Sanders. People may not know this, but Deon Sanders built this thing literally from grassroots all the way up. I don't know that I see that with these other guys. Do you think that they can have the type of success and create the type of buying in that Deon Sanders was able.

You know, we're talking about Mike Vick and d Shawn Jackson, who are both obviously going to be you know, offensive minded coach and coaches. And I think that's what you what these guys are going to need, you know, moving forward, speak speaking of D Jack Dshawn Jackson. Man, you look at d C DSU, let me tell you something. They were what one in ten in twenty twenty three and one and eleven in twenty twenty four. D Shawn Jackson is a better head coach that he's going to be a better head coach than winning two games this season.

And I know that for a fact.

And when you have the likes of Andy Reid, who is going to be a Hall of Fame coach, you know, working on his fourth Super Bowl, uh, coaching one of the best quarterbacks to ever play. For Andy Reid to come out and say, you know, D Jack is a is a passionate student of the game. You know, he's a leader on and off the field. And also Sean McVay, you know, coming out and being vocal and having support for D Jack when he was playing with the Rams, and what kind of person he is and what kind of you know, attitude and knowledge and wisdom he's going to bring this to the school. I mean DSU is not just one of these little HBCUs. It's a top five public historical Black college in the country. So you're looking at the trend of what obviously Dion going to Jackson State. Everybody sees what he is doing right now, like Colorado and you insert Michael Vick back home and now d Shawn Jackson, and it doesn't matter what your opinion is of these two young men. You know who they are, what they look like. They don't have certain people's validation of what a college coach should be. But when you have, you know, the athletic director Tony Tucker coming out and saying, you know what, d Shawn Jackson is the perfect fit for this intitution, not the football program. He's talking about the whole college as a whole, as an institution, not as the football program. What these two young men are going to bring to the HPCU landscape as far as you know, talent and obviously their football acumen and the players that are going to be willing to go play for them, they are going to shock a lot of.

And obviously the media coverage that that Prime has had at jack and State and now at Colorado. But people got to understand Prime was coaching in high school for years before he went to Jackson State. He been coaching for years boots on the ground, so to speak. So he was kind of used to the grind of, you know, being a OC in high school for a Son then going to Jackson State being the head coach and things of that nature. Also, he was a head coach slash OC.

And so to me, the biggest key for Vic and d Jack is very simple, who gonna be your assistant coaches?

You better make.

You better make.

Sure you hire guys that one understand the game first and foremost, and two can relate to the players. That's very critical because I don't care how good of a coach Vic or D Jack. Maybe if you don't have assistant coaches, because those assistant coaches are going to be spending more time with the players at their respective positions than you are, and so you want to make sure that first and foremost you have that in order. And I believe that they will because they wouldn't take this job without reaching out to some guys. Hey, I may have this opportunity, would you be willing to come coach with me?

I know Djack was out here in the LA area coaching high school football and so, man, this is something like when you get a chance to mentor young men, it's really hard to say no to it because you are already doing it indirectly in different ways anyway. And so now to get a chance to be around them on an every day, they have an opportunity to change some of these young boys lives, man.

To you, guys.

If you want to change your sex, that's up to you. If you want to marry someone that is born the same sex as you, and that's what you want to do when you find love, I have absolutely no problem when the decisions are made with everybody involved having a decision and a choice in the matter. I think where I draw the line and I feel a certain type of way about it, and just not assuming that any woman are a transgender that goes into that area of participation.

I don't assume that they're all going.

To be the the best athlete and the most physically in client athlete that that changes and becomes transgender. But I will say if they are all things given, if you have the best of the best athletically that that become transgender, I just don't. I just don't see how it makes sense where the people that they're they're.

Competing against don't have a choice.

They should have the choice just like anybody else that they would marry, that that would support them getting the change of whatever it would be.

I just don't.

I just don't.

I don't agree with the idea that that these young ladies have to compete against somebody that they don't have the choice as to if I want to compete against somebody that was born a male versus compete against all females in the situation.

That's my two cents on it. Man, I'm gonna just make minds black and white. It's very simple. I ain't gonna go through all the dialogue you just went through. Okay, it's like this, if you are born a man and you are trying to compete against people that were born a woman or born a girl, No, we're stronger. It's an unfair advantage, Like we're bigger and we're stronger for the most part. No, And then I get it. You know you want to have surgery and you want to be a transgender person. That's perfectly fine. I agree with you on that. If that's something you want to do, that's fine. But when you do that in that sense, you cannot play sports against women when you were born a man. I believe, I believe you have an unfair advantage and it's not fair. It's not fair to the girls that are played that don't have that advantage. And so to me, I don't know what's the big deal about it. I get it, it's you're discriminating. It gets the transgender people, but I just believe they have an unfair advantage.

So for me, it's a hard No. I mean, it's not discrimination at all. I don't think. I believe what's right is right and what's wrong is wrong. And for those young women that don't have a choice. Those young women are the ones that are suffering because they don't have a choice. So now you put them in a situation, those are the people that are affected by the most from a mental standpoint and from an athletical standpoint, knowing that the playing field of which they are playing in is not fair and it's not fair to them. So I'm not with it. I've never been with it, and I never will be. And kudos. If those young women had a choice, then the transgender would not be allowed to compete with them. But they don't have a choice, So kudos are those women who are fighting that battle and and and being and and being forced to go out and do what they love to do again and having an unfair advantage. Those are the people, or the young women that we should be celebrating.

It's a large topic and I'm sure it will continue to continue on. There are a lot of different angles to it. But you know what, like you said, you guys, right is right and having a choice make sense. This is up on game. This is Fox Sports Radio Hour two coming at you next
