Billingsley99 Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 Just now, btownqb said: Dang man, he did go 19/21 lol and one of the misses was from 53. Yes, I would like a little more of a threat from that position, but I thought we filled the spot pretty well after Rod was hurt. Either way, our SPT is legit and that's after two fumbled punts by Hines. I'm still pissed about those. Our special teams this year was special for sure I just dont like the thought of having a 50 plus yarder for a win or having to keep going on 4th and 2 out of fear that we don't have the leg to get it there. Anything over 45 all year long I was worried about. We have been spoiled though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FritzIam4IU Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) As I first suspected when this search began, they seem to have absolutely no idea what the hell they are doing. It seems to make no sense...they still have a bunch of GM candidates they haven't interviewed, and have now pushed back Brown to Monday, the same day Eberflus is now interviewing for second time... I am hoping there is something happening behind the scene that will be revealed to make this all make sense after search is complete, meanwhile I just keep shaking my head.

I can't speak for Jags, but he wasn't considered one of the favorites when Bears started their search. On a side note Eberflus sounds like a name out of Harry Potter. Professor Eberflus, the new potions instructor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once I heard Polian was involved I can assure you of this. He's going to methodically interview as many people as possible or suggest they interview to leave no stone unturned. I listened to him speak once on the process involved in just taking Edge over Rickey Williams. Weeks of tape and interviews. This process seems exactly like something he would do and I don't mind it honestly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My concern is that they still have 6 (I believe) GM candidates to interview and are scheduling second interviews for head coach on Monday. Unless is it Harbaugh, I don't want the Bears to hire a head coach before a GM. That is similar to what happened when they forced Fox on Pace. Hire the GM and let them have final say on the head coach. Edited January 20, 2022 by FritzIam4IU 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is they keep interviewing so many to narrow the list of the type of coaches/gm's that would pair well together from a philosophical approach in coaching, drafts, salary cap,etc...and after that they'll have a final 2-3 pairs to choose from. Good thing is nobody else has hired yet either so we aren't losing out on people....yet. Haha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the Giants are onto second round of GM interviews and Vikings just finished their 8th and final first GM interview today. Things should get rolling this weekend/next week. After Dodds withdrew, I think my two favorites for GM are Smith and Kahn. Wolfe and Poles are interesting as well. Wolfe is the only one of those who has had an interview thus far. Actually, I don't even see the other 3 scheduled yet. You have any favorite(s) you are rooting for?

Not leaning specifically a way yet but Eliot Wolf/Brian Flores combination wouldn't be bad. Hard not to like what Schoen/Daboll/Dorsey combo could bring to the joint too. I'm still on the fence with Harbaugh. Sometimes I say yes...other times no. He usually wears out his welcome in about 4-5 seasons. I'd really like to see if we can hit on a long term combination for once. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FritzIam4IU Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) First domino falls. Good hire for the Giants. I'm guessing Daboll follows him to NY. Edited January 21, 2022 by FritzIam4IU 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FritzIam4IU Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 Poles will have second GM interview with Bears on Tuesday and Vikings on Wednesday I believe. He is the first Bears GM candidate to receive second interview. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FritzIam4IU Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 Based on reading the tea leaves, I am guessing at this point that the Bears second round of interviews for GM will be: Poles, Brown, Khan, and maybe 1 other? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
