2015 Bears Offseason (Foxy new Head Coach page 104)

[Guest]

Your argument is that Phillips is meaningless and always has been. So why do you give a flying [expletive] about Phillips at all?

Never quite said meaningless. I do find the hiring, evaluating, retaining, and extending of a GM a pretty big responsibility.

 

Which is why Accorsi was hired. McCaskey didn't trust Phillips to do it on his own.

Yes I am glad he didn't go on his own this time. But didn't this panel existed three years ago? I think a more formal departure of his power would have been reasonable based on the results since 06. He kind of pegged his performance to Emery much in the same way Emery did to Trestman.

Ted Phillips is not the new Michael McCaskey. Stop it with the paranoid ramblings.

Michael McCaskey? Wasn't he just a failed president who briefly became chairman before shuffled out entirely?

Been thinking about this, and given that Pace is apparently better at finding offensive talent (and that is where the strength of our roster presently lies), I'm not sure I hate the idea of bringing in Bowles to fix the defense with scheme (as well as obviously some input in personnel). At least, as long as the OC isn't a complete moron. Bowles has gotten a lot of credit for the AZ defense performing even when losing guys to injury and such.

On the drive home today I was listening to local Arizona sports radio. Mike Jurecki, who is probably the main Cardinals insider said that he has heard that if Bowles gets a HC job, he will most likely be bringing Greg Roman on as his offensive coordinator.

 

I would not be a fan of that move.

 

If it's anything like san Francisco, it would regress Cutler and Forte.

 

How so

 

Runs the power running game, horrible in game play caller, changed their offensive style to 3 WR sets and shorter passes which killed the offense and Kaps production. He's not a QB that throws to a spot before the WR breaks him route which Cutler struggles with.

 

Look at their regression, Forte at this stage can not handle the load Gore in that style of offense.

Ah, ok. I know next to nothing about Roman or the SF offense and how it changed under him. I simply assumed a regression from Kaepernick

@MMehtaNYDN Sources: Dan Quinn wants to be next Jets HC... & he wants Kyle Shanahan to be OC & Mark Dominik in front office. #nyj

[Banedon]

Sooooo...I guess that eliminates Rex if he wasn't already...

 

When Rex Ryan is asked who his offensive coordinator will be as HC, 1 of his strongest pitches includes Marc Trestman. They want to pair up.

Quinn must not like himself very much.

In related news, Trestman is known to take excellent care of his feet.

So who are everyone's preferred HC choices at this point?

Bowles

 

I was going to say this. As long as the AZ radio rumor about Greg Roman coming with as his OC isn't true.

Dick LeBeau resigned, but mentioned that he isn't retiring.

Go Pats

[RynoRules]

1. Kubiak

2. Bowles

3. Taub

 

Hire LeBeau as DC.

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

Kubiak would definitely be my #1 choice i think he is far and a way the best guy available.

[UMFan83]

I am more than fine with names like Bowles and Kubiak. Not as thrilled with Marrone and Gase. Not sure why though.

[minnesotacubsfan]

Bowles, Kubiak second

[mul21]

Kubiak is at the top of my list, especially if he could get Lebeau to be the DC.

Expect lebeau to take over for Bowles with his buddy Arians.

[ctcf]

This game is making me want Gary Kubiak at HC a lot.

He and lovie are the only two coaches I've actively rooted to come to the Bears.

I love Bowles but don't like Roman, his rumored OC.

I think Quinn is OK (may not be ready), but don't like his rumored OC, Kyle Shanahan.

I'm fine with Kubiak and he may be the best of all worlds (experience, some familiarity with a previously successful Cutler offense, not old and/or terrible)

But I'm starting to open my eyes to Teryl Austin. Seems like the Pace of head coaching candidates. Quietly part of 3 Superbowl teams. Only 1 season as a coordinator, but people he's worked with speak highly of him.

[minnesotacubsfan]

Why would Bowles bring along Roman? That makes zero sense. They've never coached together.
