Bears Offseason Thread (Trestman new HC, pg 37)

[Magnetic Curses]

John Clayton think that Trestman is the top candidate, and that the Bears can't afford to wait for McCoy or anyone in the playoffs...that they have to hire in the next week.

 

:roll:

 

i don't see why they can't afford to wait.

 

if i had to guess, i'd say that mccoy is the leading candidate, i'm not sure we're his, though we should be. the pressure for emery to get this right outweighs the pressure for him to get it now.

[Magnetic Curses]

btw, clements is supposed to interview today, i hope they just offer him the job on the spot.

Been hearing a lot of good things about Rick Dennison.

Yeah really starting to like him as a decent #3 option. Hopefully Houston, Denver and Green Bay all lose thisweek so we can get something done fast.

Yeah, I'm definitely finding my fandom this weekend is largely dependent on the Bears coaching candidates.

Do you jump at him now, or still wait for the others?

McCoy and Dennison are my top 2.

 

Has Clements done much of anything besides being a QB coach? He's only been OC for 1 year right?

yeah, but that doesn't mean anything. i don't believe mccarthy himself was an OC for more than a year with the niners.

Pretty sure you're right, he was the QB coach there then got promoted to OC for a year then the Packers hired him the year after that.

The argument for Clements would be that he has success coaching QB's. But he's apparently doesn't really have a HC personality, and certainly not the one that Emery is looking for.

LaCanfora says Bears have interest in Brian Kelly.

 

Please no

just like clements. the packers hired him because he had worked with favre in the past and favre really liked him.

I'm sure the meatballs would love this.

Well, this is the week before championship week. Best case scenario involving teams in the playoffs, would be to hire a guy on Monday. If ONLY Emery's #3 guy is available, but he really wants #1 or 2, then he only has to wait 1 more week to get his guy. After the championship games next Sunday, teams have 2 weeks off. So, win or lose, you can hire a coach that next Monday. It's not worth settling for only a week. If Dennison was the #3 and the Texans lost last week, then maybe you hire him if he's not a very distant 3rd choice.

So, it would be fair game to hire, say, McCoy on Jan 21st even if the Broncos are in the Super Bowl? Somehow I missed that detail. I thought they would only interview a 2nd time but still need to wait until Feb 4.

He already had 1 interview. Could hire him today if they wanted. He could still coach this weekend and thru the Superbowl too if the sides agreed.

I don't think that's right. You can't hire anyone on a playoff team until they're eliminated.

I wonder why Greg Roman from SF isn't getting any looks?

[davell]

No clue if true or not, but Jimmy Johnson tweeted that Marc Trestman is getting the Bears job. If true, I think I like it?

[kujay]

@JimmyJohnson: Looks like 2 of my guys getting NFL jobs..Chud Cleveland and my QB coach at U Trestman to Chicago

 

Well I guess he didn't say it was the HC job.

[Magnetic Curses]

David Haugh ‏@DavidHaugh

Jimmy Johnson knows many people. But if Phil Emery's already made up his mind before finishing first round of interviews, I'd be stunned.

[WrigleyField 22]

Is there anyone from Emery's list that wasn't interviewed yet?

Dennison's interview is supposed to be today. Not sure who else hasn't been interviewed yet. Clements was last night. Singletary? Not that I want him, by any stretch, but not sure if he's been interviewed yet and the McCaskey's are the ones wanting him to be considered.
