    I don't know, he changed his look after that silly glasses on a string around the neck thing when he was hired.

    I'm not sure why you'd expect people to "see" your nonsensically subjective view of the guy. I agree with wolf actually That's fine if you share the same opinion of Emery based on what we know so far. But it's hardly anything resembling a universally accepted description of his "process".

    I'm not sure why you'd expect people to "see" your nonsensically subjective view of the guy. Because there is enough shared general knowledge of NFL football and sports on this board among even the dumbest members that makes a reasonable expectation of individual subjective views being similar enough to "see" different points of view, well, reasonable. Man you like typing a lot of words that say nothing.

    Sound? You have no idea if that is true. As far as we can tell it has only been superficially thorough. All we know is that he's shown an interest in more than a dozen names (many of them very mediocre). We know Emery has a very limited NFL resume, most recently in one of the worst run organizations in the game. We know his college resume is far from impressive. We know he showed early promise last offseason then came up well short of actually accomplishing an upgrade. I don't see anything I would describe as "sound" so far. He had a press conference that made the media happy, since he said a lot of words. And he's talked to lots of people. The soundness of this process remains very much in doubt and the results could be very bad.

    I definitely feel as though it has gone beyond thorough and into more of a distraction territory. I don't mind talking to a lot of people with varied backgrounds and taking your time. But coming up on 15 names and things start getting redundant. I feel like Emery is being thorough for the sake of being thorough instead of actually just targeting the best candidates and finding out as much about them as possible.

    lots of "jag" talk on here lately

    I would be disappointed, although not devastated by this hire. He's older than and has been out of the NFL longer than both Gruden and Cowher. His NFL resume is scattered, at best. His last American job was as an OC at a third rate college team. I question how much respect he has among NFL coaches and how much pull he will have in trying to bring quality ones on to this staff. Theoretically he could keep the entire defensive staff in place, plus Bates as his OC, and then he'd just have to fill out the offensive underlings. But that is going to be important.

    I agree that he would certainly be a nice bench player, but I'm willing to have a lesser player there just so I don't have to hear about how great Lahair is from the meatballs again this season. I'm not really sure where he would fit, given the need for real depth at positions he can't play, the fact that the most stable position they have filled is the one he plays the most, and that the number of pre-injured arms on the staff likely means they will have to go with 13 pitchers from time to time.

    I think it's odd how little thought you put into the notion that the Cubs are desperate for 3B help and that's the only reason they have Stewart around and they are not desperate for 1B so there's literally zero justifiable reason to even consider bringing LaHair back.

    Is this AtM guy going off again?

    You met Sammy Sosa and Ernie Banks in the same night?

    Bears fans are fans of the Bears, not you, and they hate you because you suck.

    http://www.csnchicago.com/football-chicago-bears/bears-talk/Ridiculous-search-Maybe-Maybe-not?blockID=821945&feedID=9399 And then they fired him but let him run the draft before he left.

    It loses its impact when you realize the "front page" of the sports section is actually on page 11 of the business section of the NYT.

    Another view of the "blame Cutler" story http://deadspin.com/5974746/how-much-do-you-blame-jay-cutler-for-rgiiis-injury-was-an-actual-topic-of-conversation-on-sportsnation?post=56026603

    I cannot think of a single prominent "offensive mind" that is associated with the Billick coaching tree, despite him being a supposed offensive guru. The most notable one may be Mike Tice. There have been numerous solid coaches who worked under Cowher, including Arians.
  21. jersey cubs fan
    Not at all. The guy has been a non-entity on the coaching hunt for a while. wasn't his offense just throwing jump balls to moss and carter? pretty sure they weren't with him when he won a Superbowl in Baltimore... When his offense was "go let the defense play".
  22. jersey cubs fan
    A) Not everybody is ok giving Stewart another chance. Not even close to everybody, and it doesn't even seem like everybody. B) Stewart plays a competent 3B while LaHair is an oaf.

    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.

    Right there with you. Tight end cannot be prioritized as much as OL. There's been a new excuse every season why OL isn't prioritized and time ran out on those theories years ago.
