there are no ross (or anybody) rumors as far as i know beyond twitter speculation

 

my argument has nothing to do with the stuff you're talking about about experience and everything to do with the posts i replied to

 

uk is mad that a guy who has no long term vision with long term accountability is helping the bears (mccaskey) make a hire. he also previously expressed that he didn't like them hiring an outside consultant to help with a hire.

 

if such a man is hired, george mccaskey would have to hire that guy. i guess he wants it to be without help because any help he hired would either be a short term consultant with no long term accountability or it would be a long term football guy hired and chosen by george mccaskey (with no help).

 

either a consultant with no long term accountability has to help them make this hire, or they have to hire and empower a guy for the long term, chosen by the same person seeking help in making the hire in the first place (because he feels he needs it). does that sound better than the consultant?

I think its great that Accorsi is assisting them with his wealth of experience. If they end up with a fraction of his experience/success with the ultimate hires (assuming the same structure as now) I'll be pleased.

At the time, the plan was to retain the highly regarded Marinelli to run the defense. And he had planned to, remaining on even after close friend Smith was fired. But back in mid-January 2013, as part of their final selection process for a head coach to replace Smith, Emery and the organization had Marinelli interview the three finalists for the head-coaching job.

 

Marinelli was asked to rank the three. He did. Arians was his runaway first choice; Bevell was the second; Trestman was a distant third.

 

Emery selected Trestman.

 

When he learned of the decision, Marinelli abruptly angrily resigned and left Halas Hall for Dallas and a de facto demotion to defensive line coach.

 

As a Cowboys fan, I say thanks. I have appreciated Marinelli on the Cowboys.

I can't wait for more stories like these to start trickling out. I've wondered just how incompetent this team was behind the scenes; we very well might find out.

Color me more than a little skeptical of this. IMO something that big would've leaked before now.

Wow... first time I've heard of this. I was indifferent on whether he stayed or go, but this story makes me happy that he won't get to make a decision for the Bears again. You literally had a well regarded DC in your back pocket and willing to stay and he tell you who he likes in order and you go with the worst one? WTF??

It doesn't seem plausible. We would've at least heard rumors of this months ago, and especially after the NO game, when seemingly everybody started talking to the press.

When it happened, nobody really knew why Rod just left and took a demotion with another team. Someone who had a DC position locked up don't just all of a sudden leave to take a demotion somewhere else unless something crazy happened. It's just unusual so something made him leave and take that job. Rod isn't going to tell the press/media why he left because he's a pro and Emery isn't going say it. I really can't remember how it went down (like if there were rumors of Rod being angry at Trestman hire/etc). That story would be a good reason for Rod to leave and take a demotion.

The Marinelli situation always struck me as odd, but to believe he was actually in charge of interviewing potential HCs strains credulity.

 

Plus it's Mullin. Correct me if I'm wrong, but he's kind of been the first go-to outlet for disgruntled vets since Lovie was canned, no?

 

Either way, this cluster [expletive] is over. Jeff Fisher was on his StL ESPN radio show tonight, and sounded more than a little defensive of Cutler. Must of said "You don't know what Jay you're going to get, but he hasn't had a consistent voice" at least 3 times.

 

StL could use Marshall, too. Might be the best trading partner.

The guy has major issues, but THIS is the stuff we're worried about? Yeesh.

 

No you goomba, we're worried about the entire package, which is an aging expensive and declining receiver who came in with a short fuse and is probably not going to be something the next big boss wants to deal with going forward.

 

I'm late to the party but holy [expletive] are some Bears fans naive.

 

For one how exactly is Marshall declining and why is that being passed off as a for sure fact? The entire Bears team with two 2013 Pro Bowl WRs had a shittyseason.

 

Also why should we care that he's responding to a basic ESPN radio troll?

 

Why is a mentally ill person who shows signs of being.........mentally ill a shocking revelation? Marshall will fall in line and said so on that same radio show

I don't believe anyone outside of maybe McDaniels would move on at any cost. Of the rest, I'm sure there's a price ranging from first rounder to 4th rounder + Mettenberger as the return needed to move on this year.

Please. A 4th and Mettenberger would be highway robbery. WTF would the Titans do that?

Because they are wandering the vast QB Wilderness and Jay brings them out of it.
