The Bears interviewing everybody and anybody shows there is a problem. They should have been able to figure out what they are looking for and pair it down to 4 or 5 people. The fact that they are wasting time interviewing Ron Rivera makes me think in the end we might all be saying WTF?

The classic Bears response is to over correct. “We were criticized for not expanding the search when selecting a HC. So here’s 17 names. No one can say we didn’t try!” I wonder how much the “Tomlin to Bears” rumors will start heating up now. He should be in the same hot seat as McCarthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 NFL playoffs have started out about as well as the college fb playoff did. Three complete duds. Wish they would go back to six teams per conference...but at least these last three seem like they could be more competitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be out of a job in a week. Remember that clip of Waldron making a joke and laughing after a 3 and out in the Pats game and Caleb just sat there and didn't acknowledge it? I'd like to think Waldron was making some gen Z joke that he thought Caleb would find funny, but it was actually incredibly cringe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling they want to bring Rivera in to be a DC if they hire an offensive minded coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Tizzle Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I think what annoys me so much watching Daniels is he literally being schemed to perfection. Kings bury is taking a mid tier QB and creating a situation where it very easy to succeed. Wide open targets alllll game. It’s unreal. A play breaks down, oh here’s Mclaurin sitting there. Quick throw, wide open receiver. Brown sitting by himself in the end zone, TD. Not to mention the offensive holds which are ignored nearly half the plays. He is already getting Mahomes treatment.

I think this is them doing him a favor and getting him in the news. It also is the first interview that counts toward the Rooney rule. I want nothing to do with Ron - unless it is as an assistant head coach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boomers keep saying things like "well gen Z needs a guy that can speak their language" but gen z just needs a competent coach that isn't a total goofball who knows a thing or two about his profession.

Flash Tizzle Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I said it last week against Philly, and it’s true again with Tampa — there is no team luckier than Washington. I’m definitely rooting for Detroit to stomp on their throats next week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are going to waste time interviewing Marcus Freeman? The dude is making $9 million next year and is under contract until 2030. He is the toast of town. Do the Bears actually think their coaching spot is better than Notre Dame’s right now? Rude awakening — it isn’t.

I should have said, I’m jealous of their success (Jayden/Kliff) because Daniel’s is schemed to perfection. Washington made all the right moves. Every successful moment of Daniel’s is another realization we may have again selected the wrong QB. I know all the responses in play here (ie, “Daniels would not have succeeded here,” “QB development is not linear, look at Stroud and Young!,” “Let’s wait a couple years.” But you guys feel it too. I know you do, we’re watching the same games. You’re trying to suppress it, give all the excuses - but it’s a very real possibility. Where I feel negatively towards Washington as a team is they have been extremely lucky. So now we have to endure the Jayden Daniels magical run stories, all the while looking inward at our mess of an organization.

We got our share in 2018, and it ended with the doink. Jayden had a wonderful rookie season with a line that protected him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bears could have had Jayden Daniels. Both dudes are still playing in the final 8 while Caleb Williams and the Bears sit at home. It is clear as day right now that the Bears picked the wrong QB. This Bears rebuild has been an absolute disaster and it is going to take an absolute miracle to turn it around like Wahsington and Houston did.

Harry Chappas Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 The success of the other QBs is finally shining a light on how inept the Bears are as an organization. Passing on Kingsbury for Waldron, the process that got Flus hired and retained. The ineptitude is not only Poles but Warren and George. The folks above the GM seemed to not get as hammered as they are now. The entire failing organization is in the crosshairs. Trubisky, Fields and their predecessors were a mix of talent evaluation and coaching fails but to be honest nobody has gone on to succeed after leaving the Bears as a fired HC or failed QB draft pick. Williams is different. If he fails it is viewed as organizational. The success of Nix, Daniels and Stroud even Young is organizations putting their drafted QB in a position to succeed while the Bears through 3 OCs put their player in a position to fail. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maye has looked solid, Young in Carolina down the stretch too. Penix with flashes...we'll see next year. Some organizations have so many flaws that they just screw up everything they touch. Jax CLE Bears Jets Raiders immediately come to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing clear as day is that the Bears would not have put any QB they drafted in a position to succeed. They'd still be sitting at home if they had Stroud or Daniels and you'd be saying they should have drafted Caleb instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was definitely easier to overlook passing on Stroud because of The Haul. Even after his playoff success and great rookie season, we had the #1 pick and a supposed generational talent to look forward to. On top of Moore, Wright, Stevenson and the 2025 2nd round Carolina pick. But, if Williams doesn’t work out, and Daniels/Stroud continue on their path, it is a generational fuckup to miss out on two great QBs with the #1 pick.
