How far is the gap between the potential we see for Ben Johnson and Todd Monken each to become good #NFL head coaches?

Probably not that far off since Monken might have more coaching experience which could help Johnson very creative Tho I would be lying not saying Im a bit worried with him just going off all his past Bears ties with Shoop Martz Lazor Tho I have excepted Johnson not coming to Chicago so... Ha But meh

Which one is represented by Trace Armstrong?

I’ll take either one before Mike McCarthy, Pete Carroll or any defensive coach.

I wouldn't be disappointed at all if Monken gets the job.

I am hoping Ben Johnson

I'll be excited for any of the 3 — Johnson, McCarthy, and Monken. I'm interested in Jor Brady as well.

I think the gap is small. It’s not just being a good strategist but finding the right talent of other coaches. There is rightfully a lot of talk about coaching trees (Walsh, Holmgren, Reid, McVay). I would assume Todd has been around longer to know what good leaders look like.

Monken is very interesting. HC experience at a major college, lots of NFL experience doing everything but HC. Seems to have the right personality for the job. Chicago guy, certainly understands the city and the team and what he’d be walking into. Coaching Lamar helps, but, Lamar is better than ever.

Ben’s accomplishments at OC are unmatched. But the transition to HC is not easy, and it’s one that a litany of excellent coordinators have completely failed.

You fear what his floor might be, but are tantalized by what the ceiling could be. His range is, like, 25-100. Monken 50-95? McCarthy 60-80?

It's a bit of a dice roll either way. Ben has done great work calling plays, and worked with Goff instead of Lamar, but Todd has proven HC success, and also won with Stetson Bennett. I'd be thrilled with either.

My biggest concern about Ben, which is not an issue for Todd, is someone said Ben was the nicest guy they had ever met. If true, that may not be the personality this team needs right now.
