OT: Bears & NFL Talk 97

[HeisenBaez]

Who the f**k is gonna want to be a OC or DC for a lame duck coach?

Nobody good.

 

[clydesdale line]

So one step forward (firing Getsy) and 2 steps back (keeping Eberflus). Typical Bears.

 

[Romang67]

A potential bigger issue than what coordinators would want to work for the Bears (again, looking at last year with Bieniemy I think that's overblown) is the issue of the Bears hiring good coordinators. Eberflus's two coordinators weren't exactly successful, even before the DC got let go to "spend more time with his family".

 

[Romang67]

Astounding that Frank Reich's name is being circulated. He JUST had what can only be described as a catastrophic failure with the 1st overall pick this season.

 

[Romang67]

I really dislike the sports media's tendency for podcasts that consist of one person who thinks before they speak, coupled with one or more people who seemingly is just there for hot takes and stupidity.

AKA Carm and Braggs vs Hoge.

Guess depends on if you think he actually wanted Stroud lol.

Yes, CHGO did prompt that comment. It's annoyingly common though.

George was apparently very impressed with how Flus handled that 14 game losing streak and 0-4 record against the Packers. More to come in the presser.

 

[TLEH]

Is there a presser today?

Doesn't screaming make you more right?

Why? So they can continue to troll Bears fans.

I think 2pm

If you got to choose, would you go for an OC who hasn't been calling plays (e.g. Frank Smith), a coach lower in the offensive hierarchy but from a historically good coaching tree (e.g. Kubiak from the 9ers), or a person with play calling experience (e.g. Reich)?

Preview of the Bears press conference:

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Call me crazy, but if I ran a department of a company and about half of my underling managers needed to get axed for said department performing poorly, it sounds like I should get fired, too.

 

[Romang67]

Wait, what did the assistant TE coach do wrong?

 

[ChiHawks10]

Wait, what did the assistant TE coach do wrong?

Existed?

The fact that an assistant TE coach actually does exist is hilarious. There's like 2 TEs on any given team... wtf do you need an assistant coach to the TE coach for?

 

[plasmonresonance]

Re-sign Marcedes Lewis to become player-coach.

I mean, just ask Marcedes Lewis if you want some extra input about TE play.

Most teams run 3 TE, but I agree, any position group with 3 or less on the 53 man roster does not need an assistant position coach.

I get to for the Secondary, LB, DL, OL, and WR.

Yet Bryce Young probably regressed further after Reich was canned. They finished the season with back to back shutouts. And of course everyone says he wanted CJ Stroud. I recall that being the rumor/expectatioon when the trade went down.

Still, I just can't see anyone immediately turning around and giving him a chance with another #1 overall pick. And it wasn't just Young, his offense in general was dreadful. The receivers got no separation and he kept trotting out an awful Sanders in the running game.

I watched way too many Panthers games this season to be okay with Reich on OC, even if he hadn't just failed to get anything out of a #1 overall pick.

What OC. will take a role with a lame duck head coach? The Bears won’t get the pick of the litter with this approach

Kellen Moore and Eric Bieniemy just did this last off season. They weren't nothing names at the time. Both had been repeatedly interviewed for HC positions.

 

[Romang67]

3pm press conference, for the record. I can't imagine anything interesting coming out of it, but I hope someone asks the question why anyone should have any faith in a HC who has had 7 coaches under him let go in his second year on the job.
