Title: Discuss Bears HCing candidates here
Post by: Reacher on November 29, 2021, 09:21:58 AM
Not really sure who I lean to, and I don’t think he’s leaving Pittsburgh this season, but I’d be damn happy to have Mike Tomlin in Chicago.
Title: Re: Discuss Bears HCing candidates here
Post by: Judge Judy on November 29, 2021, 09:31:09 AM
Daboll, Leftwich, and Bieniemy have to be top candidates.

Tomlin and Fitzgerald (please God no) are two realistic candidates as well.
Title: Re: Discuss Bears HCing candidates here
Post by: Reacher on November 29, 2021, 09:41:14 AM
I’d agree on all of that. You wouldn’t have to change much if you brought in Bienemy, but he’s got a bit of that Nagy stench on him only by association. And after how spectacularly Nagy failed, do we really want the same system?
Title: Re: Discuss Bears HCing candidates here
Post by: Reacher on November 29, 2021, 09:42:21 AM
Tomlin has never had a losing season in 14 years. Very impressive. Also hasn’t won a playoff game in what will soon be 5 years. I think he stays, but wouldn’t be shocked at a mutual parting of the ways.

Sucked for me because I was within a few points for 1st place with Tony Pollard in my captain spot for a showdown. I had the perfect gamescript to win. But no, let’s not ice the game with the guy who just ran for a 58 yard touchdown; let’s play the guy who’s playing hurt (Zeke) and keep throwing deep. SMH another Pollard TD probably wins me several thousand dollars.

And agreed. Dude, you’re up 10 with like 5 minutes left against an offense that’s struggling to move the ball. Why are you throwing 25 yards downfield?

My MIL is a terrible cook, and she knows it. She takes pride in eating bland food. The less flavor the better.

When I cook out, I have to make sure her meat has absolutely no seasoning. No flavor. Nothing. Drives me crazy.

My wife used to be like this, but I wouldn’t allow it to stand. She now understands what good food is. She actually is a very good cook. We work together a lot on meals.

Outside of his age, I can’t think of any real knocks. I don’t particularly  love him, but he’s one of the better coaches in the NFL the last 25 years. The list of coaches who’ve had great success in the NFL and college is like two names, and his is on it.
