McVay went on Rich Eisens show and talked about how he spent time in the interview process breaking down film with Goff and showing how he could help. That was essentially the reason he was hired.

That is different then him being all in on Goff (which I thought you were implying). I agree that they tried to work with him. The Rams were sold on McVay because of just how electric he was. Supposedly he blew everyone away and his film sessions, etc, were just super impressive with what he said he brought. It wans't that they were convinced 100% he could turn Goff into a star...it was that they thought he was going to be the guy who could ultimately turn the right QB into a star (turns out Goff was that guy).

I don't think we are disagreeing, but Nagy being familiar with Trubisky will allow him to show off exactly what he would do to take him to next level. Others can do that by looking at film too, but everyone is busy with playoffs, so it's a huge help for him.

 

For good or bad, "how will you handle trubisky" will be the biggest question each of these guys need to answer.

i just cant help but think about McDaniels going to denver, getting the job, and immediately deciding to launch what was then a third year pro bowl QB after he got the job. Could you imagine if that happened in Chicago?

Chicago having a pro bowl QB in their 3rd year? No, totally unbelievable.

(Quietly goes back to being angry at RH for rumors)

He did draft Tebow though. So it wasn't a complete disaster.

 

He only had to trade the Broncos 2nd, 3rd and 4th round picks to get him. That is nothing.

And just to pile on again, he succeeded pat shurmur as OC of a pretty good rams offense and they then became the worst offense in the league. That was a horrendous run.

Agree with everything you say.

Saw this on twitter when walking and lost it now.

 

I hate Kaplan, but he tweeted out that the Chiefs were in love with Trubisky pre-draft, especially Nagy. And Nagy has kept in touch with Trubs.

 

That could end up being big.

 

Not just him. Andy Reid and the org loved him coming out. I have Nagy in my top 3, so this pleases me.

The DeFillippo hype train is running full steam on Twitter. If he is half the coach they say he is, time to plan the parade.

so everything is not hunky-dory in New England anymore

25 years ago today, a certain coach of a certain team from a certain city that begins with a C, ends in an O and has hicag in the middle, was canned by the beloved.

Has to end at some point right?

 

If the Patriots kicked out Bill Belichick, something tells me he would try and get a job with a rival team. He seems the vengeful type.

For the record, I would support Belicheck coaching the bears :)

and 25 years later, fans of that certain team are still calling the score suggesting that he become coach again.

Yesterday I heard one person calling to make ditka team president.

He should be GM as well. He can bring that toughness back to the Bears.

I've always said that even though I'm a Bears fan, I can't stand a majority of our fanbase.

He has the passion.

 

Meatball fans think guys who yell at players are the very best at running teams.

Smigel and Conan O'Brien came up with it. Conan was living in Chicago during the halcyon days of Ditka and the Bears.

I was thinking exactly this. The dude made himself a whole lot of money by being patient and building his brand instead of just jumping right back into coaching again.
