Kevin Werren’s Coaching Search Got Complicated: Werren’s Coaching Search Full of Unexpected Twists

Dan Orlovsky seems to relish the contrarian role.

So while the ESPN commentator and former Lion quarterback sees all of the attention focused on Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson being linked with the Bears head coaching job, it only seems natural he call this a bad fit.

One of the constant critics of Caleb Williams, Orlovsky, in a talk with Kevin Clark of ESPN2, called Johnson less than ideal for the Bears because of their quarterback, even while Courtney Cronin of the same network reported Johnson will be one of those the Bears want to seek out for an interview, much as NFL Network’s Tom Pelissoro reported the same interest on Sunday.

“I think No. 1, what’s Caleb Williams’ biggest issue? It was in college, it (is) in the NFL,” Orlovsky said. “It’s he just doesn’t play that quickly, with completions.”

Because Orlovsky doesn’t view Williams as a timing passer in the same sense as Jared Goff, he thinks Johnson would be better off going elsewhere.

“You have to have a play caller in an offensive scheme that bakes in easy completions for that guy (Williams),” Orlovsky said. “We see it with Andy Reid and Matt Nagy, we don’t see this with Ben Johnson. We really don’t.”
