Colin Cowherd: Lincoln Riley Leaving USC For Bears Job is a Real Scenario

Colin Cowherd: “’Caleb Williams is finding out what Justin Fields already knows’... Oh, God... People say ‘IT’S TOO EARLY!’... No, it’s not. It’s not too early to say ‘the Rams play the Niners next, they’re in trouble.’ It’s not too early to say ‘Kansas City looks like a better version of last year’... There are red flags all around this league. Baltimore’s offensive line is a major red flag. Don’t tell me ‘IT’S TOO EARLY!’... Through two games the Bears haven’t had an impressive series. Their only touchdown drive started at midfield off a lousy Texans punt and included a pass interference call. They’ve had one offensive drive over 50 yards and their longest play is only 27 yards, the worst in the league. This looks like a fourth-place team in a division with a lot of competent quarterbacks. You gotta win shootouts in this division. Every red flag has surfaced for Chicago. O-line issues, coaching competency, accuracy issues, Keenan Allen struggling to stay healthy, Caleb not playing great... 
Do the Bears have the structure to take this wildly improvisational quarterback? I don’t think the Bears have it. Caleb Williams needs to be coached HARD and I don’t know if Chicago can do it. I’ll just throw this out there... If they lose three of the next four games, you will hear Lincoln Riley rumors, I promise you. I don’t think Lincoln Riley wants it. They have a great staff, they’re going to beat Michigan, they’re gonna be 3-0 and a top 5 team, and he's not gonna take that job. But this is a quarterback who lives on improvisation. Brett Favre did a lot of it, Lamar Jackson does a lot of it, Mahomes early did a lot of it, Kyler Murray does a lot of it... I’m for it, but those quarterbacks need strong coaching to get structure, and I’m not sure if it’s in the building.” 

Watch Colin Cowherd of Fox Sports Radio’s The Herd explain why Lincoln Riley-to-Chicago rumors will start to fester if Caleb Williams and the Bears continue to operate the league’s most incompetent offense, as the Bears have just one offensive touchdown in two games. 

Check out the segment above as Colin details why he thinks the alarm is about to sound on the Bears coaching staff, saying a ‘highly improvisational’ quarterback like Williams needs an offensive mastermind like Williams’ former head coach at USC, Riley.
