Have we really heard anything even about a potential DC. I thought Borgonzi might be DC, but sounds like he's going to stay an LB coach. We heard Marinelli's name, but I've read they're looking for him more as DL coach, which makes sense since he's 72. It probably doesn't matter in the grand scheme who is the DC, as Flus will call the defense so I can't imagine it will be a huge name. But it almost certainly won't be Desai, who is a 3-4 guy and Flus a 4-3.

 

it will be interesting to watch his career, he's had an incredible experience working under Fangino

I’m picturing a Fangio/Bongino love child. Either way, gabagool

Think I saw that Alan Williams, currently Indys DB coach will interview. No other specific names that I've seen

Wouldn't be surprised if he goes outside of his immediate connections.

I threw out Kris Richard as an interesting name they could look at. Spent 2 years under Marinelli so knows the scheme. Brings great knowledge of the Seattle cover 3 scheme and has spent the last year under Allen in NO who's obviously done great work. Could bring a nice mix of experiences to meld into the Bears own unique style with Flus.

Williams was DC for 2 years in Minnesota (under Leslie Frazier). He had a middle of the pack D his first year (14th points, 16th yards allowed) and then was dead last in D the following year. Richard would be an experienced guy they could definitely look at. Doesn't look like they are going after much experience in coordinators, which I'm guessing is because Eberflus will run that side anyway.

I don't think the DC is going to call plays so I think I'd just want a guy who can really coach up the secondary. They can hopefully get some production out of the mountain of mediocre talent, Johnson excluded.

Would be an adequate WR coach, fairly disappointing OC.

 

He's been a wr coach for 12 years, the lack of promotion is striking.

being one of urban Meyers losers is my biggest concern

 

Eh, he's coached at other orgs, and his lack of promotion in those years could have everything to do with his name/race. The unknown brought on by the lack of OC experience is what is bothersome to me

IDK how the Browns just let Callahan go, but I hope they do. Also, Mike Munchak is currently unemployed, so he could be a nice fallback option if Callahan doesn't work out.

Agreed, I can't see the Browns granting a lateral move.

 

What would you think of the duo Dan Roushar (NIU alum NIU/Illini coach) and Brendan Nugent (Former Bears coach) from the Saints?

If Harbaugh was available and goes to Minnesota, might be time to just fold the Bears

 

For the couple to several of years it'll take the Bears to become good (if ever) Harbaugh will have peaked and burned.

If Rodgers leaves the NFC North, the division is up for grabs right now. Harbaugh is clearly the best candidate if he was available and did wonders with Kaepernick.

We'll have to agree to disagree as far as him being the best available.

 

Even if the division is up for grabs, it says more about the division rather than the Bears being good. I don't think Harbaugh is that difference to make them like the Packers have been.

 

If GB loses Rodgers and Adams, Minnesota is the best team regardless of coach, IMO.

I don't know much about either. Seems like a package duo at NO who work together on the run game. I'd gladly take some Saints OL guys, though.
