Expand I think both candidates are strong so this would be AJ Hinch and Dave Roberts or something. And I do think for all the worry about these randoms - Bears have 2 really good choices.

Expand The question wasn’t “who is the biggest jackass you can think of who is tangentially connected to the nfl”, but I will note your distaste for those two and bring that up sometime in the future when it doesn’t make sense in the conversation.

Chisoxfn Posted January 17 Author Share Posted January 17 I’m officially out on Flores. That Fitzpatrick interview was really damming. Basically validated a lot of Tua said. Bears have to stay so far away from him - pairing him with a young qb knowing what they know would be malpractice with the other options out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I think for Flores to get an HC gig, he'd need to go to college and end up having a college QB that is a big time recruit and leaves advocating that Flores was completely different with him, as well as his assistants. It sucks but that Fitzgerald thing is just so similar to what it sounded like with Patricia, except clearly Flores is a way better coach in every other way.

That agent connection has been getting a lot of play on local sports radio stations recently. Especially while this coaching search is underway. It’s good to see national exposure on this issue It makes me wonder whether Warren is one of the good guys in all of this. Someone who is overseeing the search to make sure the best candidate is selected, and agent representation is not a factor.
