Link to who’s been interviewed for Bears HC

I think that’s the list of requests, not completed interviews.

I really hope they aren’t stupid enough to hire a coach before a GM.

Yeah that would be a terrible idea. Yes it’s a list of requests and some scheduled interviews
Because FOX News told me so…

About the only exception (of semi-realistic candidates) to that rule would be Harbaugh.

Would be leery of giving that much control to a guy who has never been to the playoffs.

So what? Looks like he did a decent job in Miami and told Tua that he sucks, which he does. Also wanted Herbert over Tua and was overuled.

If he is an ass to the people upstairs, so what? It is not like the Bear has any competent people working upstairs anyway.

“Decent job” with no playoff appearances ever, doesn’t really justify total control over the franchise.

Don’t really care about his personality with ownership. I wouldn’t count that as a negative or a positive. Certainly not a big enough positive to give him complete control.

All of a sudden post season results don’t matter to PAMan. Interesting.

Three OCs in three years is a red flag.

Post-season results matter, but not every good coach is going to come from a winning program (see Belichick). Not sure that you can completely blame this guy for being stuck with a QB that sucks, whom he reportedly told sucks and needs to be better, when he wanted someone else who ended up being good.

He is undefeated against Belichick, I believe.

He’s 4-2 against Belichick. But I don’t understand why you’d call Underwood a failure for a loss in a single elimination tournament, yet willing to cede total control to a coach who’s never made the playoffs. I’m not saying he’s not a good coach, he likely is, but this is kind of like going all in on Trubisky and Nagy. You’d better get it 100% right (trusting a still somewhat unproven coach), or it could blow up spectacularly.

I’d probably be good with Flores if you hire a Rick Smith first, and he hires Flores. But I’m not letting a largely unproven coach pick his GM. I’m willing to be wrong if indeed he’s all he’s cracked up to be and more.

Also, does 3 OCs in 3 years (actually 4 because they had dual OCs this year) not concern you?

My first question for Flores is “who is going to be your offensive coordinator?” I’m not sure he has an impressive answer for that question.

My first question for Flores is “who is going to be your offensive coordinator?” I’m not sure he has an impressive answer for that question.

I don't see how the comparison is apt. Underwood is the GM. Flores was not. Flores was AOTC on Tua and Herbert. (Meanwhile Nagy promised he could fix Trubisky, when most people with eyes knew he sucked.)

Did he go through OCs because he was trying to find someone who could improve a broken Tua? I don't know.

Guy appears to have a strong personality and isn't a kiss ass. One would think they could use that at Halas Hall.

Who wouldn't rather have a guy like Tomlin or Pete Caroll?  But neither appear to he going anywhere.

I’m not against hiring Flores, but it wouldn’t hire him and let him pick his GM. If we hire a Rick Smith and he hired Flores, fine. It still concerns me he’s used 4 OCs in 3 years.

Warming up to the idea of Byron Leftwich. Offensive coach who brings credibility to the the head coaching position. Vertical passing game, not the conservative WCO we got from Nagy. Vertical passing game suits Fields’ strengths better. Plus, he’s black.

Rick Smith, Byron Leftwich, Vic Fangio and let’s call it a day.

Just don't let Vic near a clock or a challenge flag and make him keep hands in pockets to prevent inadvertent timeouts.

I’m going to assume Harbaugh isn’t coming, therefore my current favorite is Leftwich. After that, Mike Locksley (so I can fill my unqualified black guy quota).
