GoSox05 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Dec 30, 2014 -> 09:57 AM) and one of the most successful coordinators with a long history of being successful at building defenses. He is right there with Dick LaBeau. Seems to me if that account is correct Marainelli was more attuned to the situation than the Bears organization was as he looks like a genius right now for stepping down and then getting promoted and turning that defense around. That list of GM candidates is not really all that inspiring. This process seems to be going down the same road as the previous. Hire an inexperienced guy and hope he is qualified. Right there with Dick LeBeau? No. It's not even close. Rod Marinelli is a good D-line coach, but that is about it. Definitely not some who you ask to rank possible head coaches. Article also says he went on to have great success with Dallas. Cowboys are ranked 28th in sacks this year and are in the bottom half of the league in run defense. He's done a nice job there, but it's not like he has them crushing offenses. Edited December 30, 2014 by GoSox05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their defensive line sucks though. Anyway, the point of it is why were the Bears force feeding Marinelli to every HC option, also allowing Marinelli the feeling he was picking successor, and pick the coach who will keep Marinelli but not the coach marinelli wants, and LOSE ALL OF THEM.

cabiness42 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 The three most important position coaches in the NFL are OL, ST, and DL, probably in that order. I want a GM and HC who understand this and who have the ability to find the best possible guys for those positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoSox05 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I think Emery did that way too much when he was GM. Asking other people's opinion. Having Marinelli rank the coaching candidates. Asking Cutler his opinion on who they should hire, hell they even had Jay interview with some of them. He was the GM, he should of told them what's up.

I would like a run at him, yes he turned down before, but he is Ozzie Newsome's successor and I do not believe he will leave. He may be off of our list because he has already told Acorsi.

Also, I'd love to wind up with Jack Del Rio. I've always loved that guy. More candidates here: http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...otogallery.html Del Rio would probably keep Mel Tucker, his most recent defensive coordinator.

Tucker was terrible this season, he had his chance to try different things all season and he did nothing but put up the worst season in Bears history.
