2015 Bears Offseason (Foxy new Head Coach page 104)

[Banedon]

Harbaugh makes perfect sense for Michigan, much less for the Bears. Bowles on the other hand...

 

I know that Bowles is the hot coordinator coaching candidate this year, but are we really going to go back to a defensive HC?

 

If you're going the defensive coach route, why not Rex Ryan? His GM has given him absolute [expletive] to work with on offense and they've been pretty competitive every year except this one.

 

The problem with both Rex and Bowles is that they run 3-4 defenses.

I'd love to have Rex Ryan as head coach or defensive coordinator. Ryan and Cutler would be a perfect storm for the media and meatballs.

Although I'm a little bit bigger of a Bears fan I'd rather him go to Michigan because I believe Harbaugh is much more needed at UM. There's a much smaller pool of coaches that can (quickly) turn around that program.

Why is that a problem? The Bears don't have a ton of talent on defense and are going to have a lot of turnover on the roster anyway. The signs point to them being bad next year anyway, so that gives them 2 years to rebuild the defense.

Yeah, I don't think blowing up the defense is much of a risk when you're dead last two years in a row.

Fair enough. Not saying it's a deal breaker, just a consideration.

But wouldn't Harbaugh be more inclined to design an offense around Cutler? He ma be opposite of Trestman, but isn't that kind of what we need? I look at how he organized played for Kaepernick and feel that he is far more in tuned with the QB

[minnesotacubsfan]

Bowles will just turn it over to some pimply assed loudmouth

[minnesotacubsfan]

I love the idea of Harbaugh and Rex together

would allow the media to shift attention away from cutler and any other players.

[d_money]

The meatball fans are clamoring for Harbaugh, but that would be a poor hire, imo. It'd be the knee-jerk, "opposite of Trestman" hire.

Any hire would be a knee jerk hire compared to the enigma known as Trestman

Right, personalities aside, it might be a really good combo on game day. Not sure how the press meetings would go tho. And I could see Rex turning the D around in 2 seasons and bolting for another HC opportunity.

It would also never happen.

Is there any concern Cutler may be seen as a bit of a coach killer at this point?

I haven't heard anything like that yet.

Do you live in the NYC sewer? I hear it said a lot.

I don't think a switch to a 3/4 defense would be that hard with this team. This is probably the best time to make the change if it's inevitably going to happen.

I thought I remember you guys saying that Rex Ryan has coached 4-3 defenses before

Yes, the 2000 Ravens were actually a 4-3 defense (nobody seems to remember) and he was on that staff. He also was the Ravens DC when they were still 4-3 in 2006 and switched to 3-4 in 2007-09. Throw in his dad as the DC of the 85 Bears, and Rex has been around the best two 4-3 defense in the history of football. He can coach any defensive scheme he wants and be damn good at it.

Just an FYI, Harbaugh (with Vic Fangio as DC, who I imagine would move with Harbaugh) ran a 3-4 at Stanford and runs a 3-4 now.
