Kyyle23 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 10, 2018 -> 10:50 AM) Adam Jahns seems pretty sure Fangio is coming back. He was supposedly the second highest paid coordinator in the game last year, and with an offensive young coach, that probably made the Bears want to retain him even more. It does contradict what many of the beat writers were writing earlier, that if he wasn't the head coach Fangio was out of there, and that the reason the Bears didn't want to fire Fox during the season was they didn't want Fangio to take over and do well because there were some in the upper levels Vic rubbed the wrong way. He is 59 years old. Chances are, his odds of ever landing a HC position in the NFL are very long. The last month or so he seemed to acknowledge that his chance as a HC was pretty much gone, while saying that he would still like to do it. Maybe part of the contract is to allow him to interview for any potential HC vacancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we draft that ridiculously good ND guard I'm not sure about taking guards that early in the draft, but I think Quenton Nelson might be worth it. He is really good. There is also a video of him choke slamming a blitzing LSU linebacker, it's pretty crazy. I'd imagine it's what you would want from an O-lineman.

GoSox05 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I think if a player is dominant at their position, regardless of what that position is they are worth taking early in the first round. Outside of punters and kickers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him or Pettine were supposedly our backup plan. So when they moved elsewhere as fast as they did, I presumed it was just another indicator that Fangio to Bears was happening.

That video got a lot of publicity, but it was actually a 235 pound freshman linebacker. Still, Nelson is really f***ing good. If Fitzpatrick, Barkley and Chubb are gone, I want Ridley, Nelson or Roquan Smith. FWIW, Pace typically drafts highly athletic guys in round one and banks on their athleticism paying off on the field and turning into talent. Not sure any of those guys fit that "freak of nature" mentality. Someone who might is Virginia Tech LB Tremaine Edmunds. That dude is a specimen. He does s*** at his size that most human beings cannot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Rumor out there that former Oregon head coach, Mark Helfrich, will be our offensive coordinator. Also indicating Fangio deal is officially done. Both of these reports are from the 1st guy that broke the Harry H news. Additionally, Bears wide receiver coach has left to join Broncos coaching staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
