NFL source says #Bears are expected to hire Stan Drayton as running backs coach. He has served in that role at Ohio State.

 

That's a great hire.

I heard Chris Harris was highly regarded among teammates for his work last year.

 

You'd think he'd have a job with Lovie or Ron Rivera if he wants it.

Apparently Gase was really close to being the 49ers Head Coach but they bungled it up by trying to force him to make Tomsula his Defensive Coordinator. Instead Gase turned them down, the 49ers hired Tomsula as coach, and Gase signed on to be the Bears OC. Good for us!

 

Between the Bears and Michigan, the 49ers have been really kind to my football teams this offseason between Harbaugh, Fangio and Gase.

 

The San Jose Mercury News' Tim Kawakami, who's really in his element now that CEO Jed York and GM Trent Baalke have lost most fans' benefit of the doubt, has a report on the process that led to Tomsula being bumped up from defensive line coach to head coach. Kawakami's source claims that the Niners were close to hiring Broncos OC Adam Gase, but he could not abide by their condition that he keep and promote Tomsula. A condition, apparently, that they didn't spring on him until after they basically had a handshake deal.

 

According to an NFL source, Gase and Baalke did indeed come very close to an agreement for Gase to replace Harbaugh, down to the details of his prospective coaching staff, and Gase understood that his choices for the coordinator spots were approved.

 

Tomsula's name was not involved in the discussions with Gase about the defensive coordinator slot, I was told.

 

Then, the next morning, after Baalke flew back to the Bay Area, things changed: Gase, the source says, was informed that he could only have the job if he made Tomsula his defensive coordinator.

 

No Tomsula, no offer.

 

Gase turned that suggestion down flat, and that's when the 49ers immediately tabbed Tomsula as the head coach to follow Harbaugh.

The Browns are interested in him too. But McCown as a backup would be fine with me.

 

As long as hes not being paid a ton. He's likely better than Claussen as a backup

Zach Zaidman @ZachZaidman

Fox says he will run a 3-4 base

 

Rich Campbell @Rich_Campbell

John Fox on whether he has decided to proceed with Jay Cutler as QB: "We're not up against a deadline. ...We'll keep you posted."

 

Adam Hoge @AdamHoge

John Fox also non-committal w/ Brandon Marshall. As for TV show, said focus should be on winning championships. #Bears

 

Zach Zaidman @ZachZaidman

Fox on Briggs and Tillman: "They've been great Bears." Sounds like the team could be moving in a different direction.

 

Peggy Kusinski @peggykusinski

#Bears HC Fox says he won't give a full evaluation on Jay Cutler, still getting to know him & won't evaluate "1/4 thru the test"

 

Rich Campbell @Rich_Campbell

Fox on if DEs Allen & Young will be OLBs in 3-4: We'll line them up there. What they become will be up to them.

John Fox said Jared ALlen and Willie Young will get looks at OLB in the #Bears' 3-4 defense.

I can' believe they'd dump Cutler without drafting Winston or Mariotta.

 

They can't wait that long though. They have to decide by March 12th or $10 million of his 2016 salary becomes guaranteed.

Fox said both Young & Allen would play OLB. Allen has spoken a few times about NOT wanting to play LB. A bit of a dilemma. #Bears

Chicago Bears @ChicagoBears

#Bears GM Ryan Pace on Jay Cutler: "We're going to take our time on this."

 

Zach Zaidman @ZachZaidman

Pace points out the #Bears will be a base 3-4 defense, but "we'll be in multiple schemes."

 

Bob LeGere @BobLeGere

#Bears GM Ryan Pace on Brandon Marshall: "We met with him and that's going to be a slow process"

 

Brad Biggs @BradBiggs

Ryan Pace says "football needs to be the No. 1 priority" when asked about Brandon Marshall. Wouldn't commit to him either.

 

Bears Talk @CSNBears

Pace: Pass-rush is a No. 1 priority for us. #NFLCombine #BearsTalk

 

Zach Zaidman @ZachZaidman

Pace on McCown as a backup or starter: "I think he can be either."

 

oh dear
