Bears looking at replacement for Nagy. Daboll at top of their list...

[SirAndrew]

The head coaching job for the Bears is not very desirable imo. 

[ProcessAccepted]

I hope he gets his shot at some point. I'll be sorry to see him go but he deserves it. I only hope he gets his opportunity with and organization where ownership, GM, fans and media are patient enough to give him a fair chance to complete the changes he'll need to make. If we lose him I'd hate to see him as just another former coordinator/failed head coach.

Hopefully.

 

Stupid rule. If a team wants to punish themselves by not hiring the best candidate because if their skin color, well they'll be the one's to suffer.

It would be funny if Daboll wanted to bring Trubisky with him to his next destination.

Don't see that as the Bears have Justin Fields.

Yeah, it's coming. I think people wanted to wait and see if this team was real, and they can see it now.

Alot of front office talent and strong coaches in our building over the past few years.

The Bears don't fit that description.

If it does I hope they leave the AFCE. I could see the Fins looking for a new coach after the season. Saleh is probably safe being its his 1st year but you never know.

Since George Halas last patrolled the sidelines in Chicago in 1967, only three  of the 11 Bears coaches since Halas have +.500 records:

 

Mike Ditka:  .631

Lovie Smith: .563

Matt Nagy: .583

 

Lovie Smith got a raw deal in Chicago in hindsight.  81-63, went 3-3 in the playoffs.  That's not too bad.

The Rooney Rule doesn't dictate who they hire, just that they need to interview at least one minority candidate.

I'm aware of that. My statement still stands. Regardless of being interviewed or not, not hiring the best candidate based on skin color is not best for an NFL franchise to achieve success.

Or the oft forgotten 'Pietre Nakowski rule', where they have to interview at least one polish guy.

I would remove Pittsburgh and Vikings. Pittsburgh won't part with Tomlin, no matter how bad the team is, and I can't see Daboll wanting to work with Cousins.

I’m just gonna say it. I don’t want Daboll leaving. 

 

It's amazing how overly emotional some of our peers can be when we score only 3 points in a half. That was a basically a given during a lot of our drought years. We are very lucky to have Daboll.

So much changes between these early rumors and the end of the season, that I'm "yawn" at this stuff

yep.  Remember last year when Daboll was also “good as gone”?

I was referring  in general to openings that could happen 

 

Not whether Daboll would accept 

 

 

has Tomlin really had a stellar record of late?

He's NEVER finished below .500, they went 12-4 last year, and are 4-3 right now with a broken down QB. What's the problem "as of late"? You think the Steelers, of all teams, would make a switch now? Insane.

Look at Pittsburgh's history. They stick with their head coaches, no matter what. They'll do the same with Tomlin, unless the Steelers go 0-17

[TH3]

Why do people think hotcoordinators are goi g to be good HC’s? Completely different jobs

[Back2Buff]

The more I watch Daboll and Allen, I'm convinced Allen is just an athlete freak and Daboll isn't all that special.

 

Most of the plays the Bills run are basic and Allen is the one creating after the snap.

 

I also ain't a huge fan of timing of plays being called.
