I feel a little better with him going to Miami. Seems like that owner would trump any offer. If I’m Minny I think I go Demeco Ryans but we’ll see. I definitely realized with these big coaches how Bears can never get one. They need a strong owner to negotiate with a Harbaugh or McDaniels and organize the GM type stuff there. George is too scared, he committed to staying out of the way now he’s trying to orchestrate both positions at once? Doesnt guarantee any results, but definitely is the reason we will always be a first job (or pre retirement when it comes to Fox)

Honestly I hope this is true now (obviously) but I think Harbaugh is still a good coach. On one hand, the NFL is a lot different that when he was successful, especially offensively. On the other, he’s been facing these offenses in college. I think he tailors his coaching to his players and that’s a strong compliment. College recruiting can be an awkward game, but I think it’s fair that he may not have overachieved on the whole.

https://www.milehighreport.com/2022/1/13/22882564/what-would-packers-luke-getsy-bring-as-broncos-head-coach Good stuff. Im impressed by how LaFleur set up his staff vs what Nagy did. I hope Getsy replicates that here.

Seems like a four years from now problem. Fun thing to think about is the bears and eagles both fired their longtime coaches after 2012 and have both had 3 coaches since (bears on 4). All 3 of their coaches made the playoffs, and one a super bowl. Bears only got two winning seasons and 2 playoffs, with no wins. So basically I don’t care if he’s not likely to be a 40 year coach. They need to start stacking winning seasons.

Man the Vikings are going to get Harbaugh and it will 100% be due to the mccaskeys not understanding how the Gruden deal was par for the course in college now (ie they were cheap). Makes me sick.

I don’t know that you need to be convinced of greatness but the OCs under offensive head coaches are head coaching candidates so it’s more likely to pluck their QB coaches for an OC job. There is risk but also high upside here, since it is the Shanahan/McVay tree, and lafleurs run schemes were very good. You show me they are connected to shanahan / McVay right now that’s enough to walk through the door.

Yeah I mean Zac Taylor became a HC with playcaling duties with the exact same resume. But Scarangelo went to DEN with Fangio and bombed. We just don’t know. But Mcvays acolytes have had more success elsewhere than Shannys. Shanahan may be the new belicheck honestly. He just lacks a brady

Ugh the good news is there's a rumor the Bears are trying to get Bill Callahan as OL coach The bad news is the rumor comes from Erik Lambert. Real rollercoaster.

I don't know but I think that's a good part of Pep at this point, I don't think he's looking to play power plays. He's probably content to just be a young QB partner.

Who knows. Pep is a long enough coach he can help a lot. He's been a playcaller before. And if you get Bisaccio and Marinelli you'd have 2 former head coaches on staff

It is interesting, but again a wild card. Was hoping for a hail mary of getting O'Connel or McDaniel. I'm not even sure what his key beliefs are based on resume, assuming he is on the McVay tree now. We need some blocking receivers. When he was OC at MSU (not a playcaller), they had a really rough year passing but had no QB, but ran the hell out of the ball. Maybe he will bring cool run concepts and Pep will handle the pass concepts.

woof sorry I forgot how annoying that backend is. Not today satan.

I've thought about this a lot too. I'll check.

Gotta tell ya, Breer has been soooooo off the entire search, I'm struggling to believe he's got a handle now. But maybe he's got more coaching ties than the front office stuff.

Also we are off to a good start targeting Rich Bassacia (raiders interim HC) as ST coordinator. Hopefully he is released from his contract soon and that can be finalized.

Cunningham was also an olineman. Thumbs up from me.

I’d be more into this. Who know how they handle Abreu next year and replacing that with LH would be helpful.

Trying to square the idea that Sox are too one dimensional corner guys outlook with the Sox should sign a one dimensional corner guy for buku bucks and trade the cheap one for the less expensive position to buy.

He was a defensive passing game coordinator in DAL not offensive. He did recruit the second best QB in Missouri history though in Brad Smith. So ?

Pretty sure Belicheck is heavily involved in defensive game planning, and you did not include Shanahan who is definitley one of the best coaches in the league given his qb play.

Are they still talking daily? I haven't seen any news today.

He does have a good rep as a teacher, may be part of a player development side Poles wanted vs just focusing on leadership or Xs and Os.

Last thoughts - for once I wanted more certainty and give up a bag to get a top coach. BUT, we've talked a lot about how the bears go from one extreme to the other. Sleepy angelo to fiery, "new school" Emery. Gave Emery keys to castle and he wiles out with Trestman, hire new GM and force an experience defensive coach at multiple stops. Then go to offensive guru. They didn't let Poles age or "one org" background stop them on Poles, and Poles didn't care about what the bears have done, apparenlty, in Eberflus. But yeah, we have no idea. But he was a really good coach at Mizzou. Pinkel made his hay drafting 3 stars and putting muscle and coaching in them. He made Sean Weatherspoon, and we had a good big 12 defense, that 2007 defense was actually good. It just wasn't good enough to beat teams with 5 star offensive lineman up and down like Oklahoma/Alabama etc. Not a lot of Mizzou offensive guys to dig into. But Dave Yost was OC and went on to success at Utah State, but was fired from Texas Tech recently and signed on at FIU. I wouldn't recommend him for fields lol.

The good about eberflus is while he has a marinelli background, he made a lot of changes consistently to his Defense. Again - would love to see if he can nab Patrick Graham for defense. For offense, boy. Offensively, funny stuff, he was on Eric Mangini's cleveland browns that had Daboll as OC. In Dallas, I don't see any coaches I'd like. Seriously, please no Derek Dooley as OC. Kill me. (he was with eberflus in Dallas and became OC at Mizzou) Indy? Well they just lost Sirianni. So I don't know who he's bringing. Please be good.
