    Yeah really starting to like him as a decent #3 option. Hopefully Houston, Denver and Green Bay all lose thisweek so we can get something done fast. Yeah, I'm definitely finding my fandom this weekend is largely dependent on the Bears coaching candidates.
  2. Banedon
    John Clayton think that Trestman is the top candidate, and that the Bears can't afford to wait for McCoy or anyone in the playoffs...that they have to hire in the next week. :roll:

    Did you catch Rozner interviewing Heyman on that show and them collectively being aghast that anyone would even consider these steroid era losers.

    Been hearing a lot of good things about Rick Dennison.

    Jets are planning to interview Jerry Angelo.
  8. Banedon
    Even if the best candidate is still in the playoffs?

    There's been no conversations with any former HC's outside of the Singletary courtesy interview. Either they really are looking for a first time HC, or they've kept those interviews very quiet.

    Kevin Love needs surgery on his hand and will be out 8-10 weeks.

    Oooooh. Tell me more about being a meatball. http://cdn.memegenerator.net/images/300x/68999.jpg

    Apparently there's a deal close for the Sacramento Kings to be sold to a Seattle syndicate.

    It could mean lots of things, as Banedon just pointed out. I'd have no problem at all with Gruden, though. Actually he didn't point out anything. He just said he doesn't think he's the right guy, which sounds to me like some sort of gut instinct knee jerk reaction to the theory that he's a defensive minded blowhard of a coach or something. The Bears are interviewing several special teams coordinators, many coaches with no significant offensive play calling or planning history and even some defensive guys. Cowher was on board with the need for a passing offense in this league long before many other coaches wanted that. He's a legitimate head coach who we know isn't going to be overwhelmed by the job, like so many previous "hot coordinator types" have shown in the past. I understand why he may not be at the top of a list, but it's inexplicable why people flat out don't want him. Some defensive guys meaning one guy out of courtesy who has strong ties to the organization? Or did I miss one? I think it's something like 7 OC's, 4 ST coaches, some Canadian dude, and Singletary.

    Hahaha. This is well done. Obviously not really Piazza.... http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/01/09/did-i-do-something-wrong-because-i-really-dont-understand-this-at-all/

    Why would you say that? I think it's pretty reasonable. I think it's nonsense to decide yes or no strictly on the basis of whether thy touched the stuff. And I think it's nonsense to ignore steroids and take Sosa's numbers at face value. Steroids shouldn't be a factor in Hall of Fame voting. There's other cheaters in the Hall of Fame. It's not some bastion of purity. Vote based on the numbers. Not based on suspicions and accusations.
  16. Banedon
    Yes because it's inconceivable (!) that Cowher can be a good coach again! :roll: Because not wanting him as the HC of the Bears means that we don't think he can be a good coach again. What the hell else could it mean? For the life of me I can't imagine why people are so set against the two of those guys. There's been a dozen worse names thrown into the ring during this search and maybe only a couple better ones. It means I don't want Cowher for the Bears HC. He might be right for another team, but I don't think he's right for the Bears. The Bears are purposely trying to find a coach that can revamp the offense. I don't think Cowher is the guy to do that.
  17. Banedon
    That doesn't quite add up to me. Clemens had more votes than Bonds. So I don't know how that math works out.

    There's no reasonable way to seperate "steroid performance" from "non-steroid performance" within the same player. Your whole post was pure speculative nonsense.

    Cutler implied that he thinks with a better offensive scheme that Hester could flourish.

    When Jay started his radio show last week, he already knew about Lovie being fired, and he was hoping he could go through the show without the news breaking. Didn't happen that way.
  23. Banedon
    How can that possibly be? Other than Chip Kelly and Lovie Smith what candidates that other teams have interviewed have not been approached and/or given interviews by the Bears? I hope one of them is Cowher. Could be defensive candidates.
  24. Banedon
    How can that possibly be? Other than Chip Kelly and Lovie Smith what candidates that other teams have interviewed have not been approached and/or given interviews by the Bears? Mike Silver is on the radio right now wanting Hue Jackson to get an interview.

    That's what I get for commenting on something I have little knowledge of.
