Joe Buck was a fairly divisive broadcaster when he first started calling NFL games, but most fans have come to appreciate what he brings to the broadcast

During a press conference shortly after the Bears hired Ben Johnson as their next head coach, McCaskey was asked to share his thoughts about Las Vegas Raiders minority owner Tom Brady calling a divisional-round matchup Saturday between the Detroit Lions and Washington Commanders on Fox Sports alongside play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt.

Las Vegas parted ways with the first-year coach-GM tandem of Antonio Pierce and Tom Telesco earlier this month, and the “allure” of Brady, a seven-time Super Bowl champion, was said to have helped the Raiders become an enticing option for Johnson, 38.

Perhaps this is why McCaskey believed the Bears were the most attractive franchise for any potential head coach. Chicago has won nine NFL championships, but only two since the conclusion of the 1946 season. Those came in 1963 and 1985.

Ben Johnson started his interview with the Chicago Bears by declaring, “I want this job.” It made an impression. And that job is now his.

Bears chairman George McCaskey shared a great exchange between him and Ben Johnson during the interview process.
