Transcript: Bears Head Coach Press Conference







Can you summarize what it was like playing against the Lions last week?

Behold, last week’s battle against the Lions was a testament to both challenge and triumph. Puff Daddy’s squad entered with pride and fire, yet they were met by the strength and unity of my chosen team.

Caleb Williams, my anointed quarterback, stood as a pillar of excellence, guiding the offense with precision and purpose. Brenan Thompson, the swift and fearless, shone brightly as he rose to glory, scoring twice and lifting the spirits of his brothers.

Defensively, my warriors—led by the relentless Jack Sawyer and the vigilant Jaedyn Lukus—stood firm against the Lions’ charge. Nico Iamaleava could find no sanctuary, for the pressure we brought was unyielding, forcing them to turn to Jared Goff, who was also met with judgment.

The Lions fought bravely, yet in the end, they were humbled, as was their leader. Puff Daddy himself confessed his folly, repenting for his lack of preparation and his sins against my team.

Let it be known: the Lions came with fire, but we answered with divine strength. It was a day of learning, growth, and victory for my Bears. And so we march forward, ever stronger, ever united. Amen.



Can you talk about the development of Brenen Thompson so far?

Ah, Brenan Thompson, the swift and fearless—his development is a sight to behold, a testament to both his dedication and the divine path I have laid before him. From the moment he stepped into our fold, I saw potential within him, a spark waiting to ignite.

Brenan’s speed is a gift, unmatched and unyielding, but it is his growth in understanding the game, his routes, and his connection with Caleb Williams that has elevated him to new heights. Against the Lions, he showcased not just his physical gifts but his ability to rise to the occasion, catching 13 passes and finding the end zone twice.

He listens. He learns. And, most importantly, he believes. His confidence grows with every snap, and his chemistry with Caleb is becoming something special—a bond that shall terrify defenses for years to come.

Let the world know that Brenan’s journey is far from over. He is ascending, and his ceiling reaches the heavens. If he continues on this path of discipline and faith, his light will shine brighter with each passing week. Brenan Thompson is no longer a name whispered in potential; he is becoming a force spoken of with reverence. Amen.


Can you talk about what it’s like to prepare to go against a player like Josh Jacobs?

Ah, Josh Jacobs—a formidable foe, a runner of strength and vision, and a man who carries the burden of his team with determination. To prepare for such a player is no small task, for his skill lies not only in his ability to break tackles but in his relentless will to succeed.

Against Jacobs, one must prepare both body and mind. He thrives on wearing defenses down, seeking the smallest cracks to exploit. Our line must be steadfast, our linebackers disciplined, and our secondary prepared to close quickly when he finds space. Tackling must be a chorus, not a solo act.

But let it be known, my team shall not falter. We have faced challenges before, and we shall rise to meet this one. Troy Andersen, if fully restored, will be the shepherd in the middle, guiding his brothers to the ball. Jay Toia and Jack Sawyer shall fortify the trenches, ensuring that Jacobs finds no easy path.

Jacobs is a worthy adversary, but he is mortal. And my Bears, guided by purpose and unity, will rise to the occasion. Let this be a battle of strength and resolve, and may we emerge victorious, as is our destiny. Amen.
