Until this hire is done and one of the guys I hope it is, I will be very afraid of Emery's choices. I still fear that he picks an "underdog", hard worker type as a head coach instead of a young up-and-comer. Because that's basically what Emery is/was when he got hired as GM. He was a scout putting in several hours a day riding around the southeast, watching film and compiling info on prospects.

 

I worry that he'll go for a guy like DeCamillas who has been around forever, but never had a chance to be a HC. Or a guy like Sullivan who has the similar military background. All over guys that have had the "fortune" of coaching Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers or coaching under Sean Payton and Mike Shanahan, citing some type of silver spoon theory for those guys.

Singletary is getting an interview. Ugh.

Belief is McCaskey family backing interview opportunity for Hall of Famer Mike Singletary. Personally surprised he is on list.

Oh sure, nobody believed me when I said he'd get a courtesy interview.

And the meatballs are rejoicing.

 

 

Maybe its because I don't live in Chicago. But I don't know how even the meatiest of all the meatballs in the world could possibly want Singletary as a coach. I can't believe such a meatball exists. In fact, there are plenty of Bears fans that don't even think Singletary was a great player.

Yeah, I shot that idea down. Really didn't think we'd see that. SMH

Singletary was demoted last year from LB's coach because he apparently was lazy and disinterested beyond belief. Frazier kept him around in some token role this year just because he's his guy from way back.

 

Priefer has been a great special teams coach.

Interview to cover the Rooney Rule?

Can we stop with the Rooney rule subject. Everytime a black guy gets an interview people ask if its token Rooney time. People asked if lovie getting interviews was Rooney related. Just stop. Emery is talking to everybody. If he hadnt already spoken with a minority candidate he would have eventually. And freaking lovie is a well above .500 long tenured head coach as qualified as anybody out there for an interview. Assume it's for football reasons and move on.

Well normally I, and probably most others, would assume what you just said. But it's Mike Singletary, if it was an actual qualified minority I wouldn't question if it was just to cover a silly rule.

Singletary is a maniac. Talk about post-concussion syndrome

He's a former NFL head coach with a storied past in the franchise. It makes perfect sense that ownership would nudge Emery toward having the interview considering he's already interviewing everybody else. And they already had minority candidates on the docket so there's no reason to bring up the Rooney rule.

A job he was mostly terrible at and a league wide joke by the time he was gone. But other than that I wasn't aware they already covered the rule, hence why asking the question to begin with. I am not following the HC hunt on a daily basis.

 

I get giving him an interview due to his standing with the franchise/paying some lip service, but he was/is an awful coach and was why I asked if it was to cover the rule not knowing they already interviewed Armstrong.

Toub interviewed for Bears HC yesterday, per Dan Pompei and Sean Jensen.

I've heard that Toub is a great football mind. Not sure where I heard that, or if it's true, but I like to think it is.
