A couple names that are being bounced around for OC have no previous OC experience. When did the Bears become a starter franchise? I like seeing an opportunity to bring new, fresh ideas and perhaps reinvent how organizations function. But, it also seems like a risk. Too many years of bad ownership and management decisions caused the issues so a good house cleaning is needed.

There is a decent reason to be a little concerned, but all the great ones had no experience at one time as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple names that are being bounced around for OC have no previous OC experience. When did the Bears become a starter franchise? I like seeing an opportunity to bring new, fresh ideas and perhaps reinvent how organizations function. But, it also seems like a risk. It’s a risk I am willing to see them take. Fans probably wanted Harbaugh or Payton after seeing Nagy go but they weren’t all that realistic. I would have preferred one candidate with experience as a GM or HC, but I like the upside that Poles was with multiple GMs in KC and Eberflus (or Eberloose, like some dumbass who called the Score to b****) is a teacher. He apparently gets a lot out of guys who are undrafted, like Fangio did. I would have liked hiring a football minded team president to oversee Poles, but I bet he wouldn’t have come to Chicago with them hiring someone to be his boss, especially since he can report to just McCaskey. If they bring in a veteran OC, I will feel better, but if it is a young passing game coordinator, I will be concerned because of the lack of their experience. I also want to reserve judgment until I see the rest of the coaching staff and front office staff. Right now I’d grade the moves a C+, with potential to move up or down depending on who is hired. That grade is going to fluctuate with results and in the end, none of us know if the experience gap will matter until this new regime ends with a Super Bowl or another house cleaning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted January 28, 2022 Author Share Posted January 28, 2022 Just get Doug Pederson and keep DeFillipo. Pederson is a super nice dude by all accounts and know how to run an offense and design them around his QB. He knows Filipo well from his previous time and I like there chances of helping Fields. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Of the major sports I think football is the sport where coaching, and especially play calling, has the most impact. I'm excited for the first time in a long time for the Bears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 It is interesting, but again a wild card. Was hoping for a hail mary of getting O'Connel or McDaniel. I'm not even sure what his key beliefs are based on resume, assuming he is on the McVay tree now. We need some blocking receivers. When he was OC at MSU (not a playcaller), they had a really rough year passing but had no QB, but ran the hell out of the ball. Maybe he will bring cool run concepts and Pep will handle the pass concepts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have expected an OC who had been there. Don't get me wrong - seems like bright individuals - but they are just so green and if you get too many smart minds and a green chief (as OC) - will you end up with the cohesion needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pep is a long enough coach he can help a lot. He's been a playcaller before. And if you get Bisaccio and Marinelli you'd have 2 former head coaches on staff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
