The comparison to McDaniels is actually a good one given what we know to this point.  Both are offensive minded guys.  Both kinda screwed over specific teams who attempted to interview/hire them. McDaniels with accepting the clots job then reneging and going back to New England and Ben with stiffing the commies last year.  Ben Johnson wasn't working with Brady in Detroit obviously, so perhaps he's a better mind than McDaniels is/was.  

Schefter posted the video on X of Ben walking into the bears office today and giving his short little speech.  His enthusiasm seemed a little forced to me, so the introvert thing probably has some legs to it and depending on the degree of introversion I could see that potentially being a problem in leading an NFL franchise.  I'd just let it all play out and judge the results of our coaching search next season when we see the results on the field.  We may have also dodged a bullet.  We won't really know for another year or two.
