Bears and Dolphins request interview with Brian Daboll

[White Linen]

I think it's unlikely Daboll lands one of the current openings.  Just my guess.

[ColoradoBills]

A little off topic but I just looked to see what the Chicago Bears situation is.

It's not very inviting.

 

Draft Picks for 2022:  2, 3, 5, 5, 6.

Players under contract for 2022:  27 (Including Foles)

Current Cap Space:  $43M (With 27 signed that's 24 more to get to 51)

     Kalil Mack with a #30M cap hit (possibly looking to be traded)

     Darnell Mooney is the only WR currently on the team.

 

With not many picks or money and Fields as your QB it might be wise to just bulldoze the whole thing next season.

As the saying goes, there's only 32 of these jobs in existence and regardless of the situation they'll be no shortage of suitors.

 

But just like with mos first year HC jobs, pretty sure whoever land the Bears job gets the proverbial free pass in year one for the reasons listed here. Because can't imagine ownership believes this is a team and roster ready to win right away in 2022.

 

This is why the Bears is probably the best fit for someone like Frazier that can lean on his defensive expertise and leadership to be competitive in 2022 while the roster is overhauled for a larger rebuild with an eye on the playoffs in 2023 and beyond.

Growing up in the Chicago area and having a ton of family members constantly remind me how much better they were then the bills when I was growing up.. kinda ionic they are picking at our scraps so to speak

I don't think I would go to the Dolphins in his position considering how they ditched Flores and he looked like he was helping that team improve

No team gives up picks but the team he came from would gain two picks.

You mean the picks are fabricated?  Like a comp pick?

That sounds like a story that HE would want out there 

I didn’t say he didn’t coach him “at all”. He coached him for one year and for one half of one actual college game. I just don’t see it as some ultra connection to Miami. 

Tua was successful in college coming up in Dabols system, with Dabol coaching him.  Dabol would bring that same offensive system that he flourished in to Miami.  

 

I'm not making a case that Dabol is going to be the Miami coach but the connection there is blatantly obvious.

First question of the Dolphins interview... "Would you have a problem with a serial massage rapist as your QB?"

I'm hoping that Watson doesn't end up in Miami. Send him to the NFC, Texans!

Tua was a freshman during Daboll's one year in Tuscaloosa and Jalen Hurts was the starter.

It is a total garbage situation. I didn't realize it was such a mess in Chicago. There is a part of me, from a business perspective, that would have left Nagy in place one more year, cleared the cap situation, and provided a better situation that would attract more quality candidates. 

To the bolded, I think this is the exact opposite. The situation is built for failure at the moment. A guy like Frazier, who is in a good situation, and interviews for HC positions a lot, I would take a hard pass if offered the job. This position is best suited for somebody who is looking to get their first (and maybe only) shot at running a franchise

I don't think Watson is landing anywhere. And honestly, if I were a HC candidate, if my org is relying on Watson becoming available or playing for me as a solution, I am probably thinking it is not a match. That goes both ways, if I am a franchise and a candidate told me that was their plan, I would not offer them the job. The big plan is to give up assets for a guy that might not be able to play? Not to mention the general principle of it all. 

Hard pass.

He is nothing anymore.

I agree, but I've seen him play really well before, so I'd rather he not end up in the AFC East. I'm all for Tua getting a few years to develop.

Yes, we all know. And Alabama continued to run the Erhardt Perkins system. That's the system Tua was successful in and what Daboll runs.  That's the system Tua flourished in.  That's the attraction there.

I have Bears fans all around me, and so far they see Daboll as a promising option.

 

The Bears job looks like a flaming turd on paper. They really have to trade Mack if they want to rebuild, though I don't know if he'd be worth a 1st rounder with that contract, unless they want the Rams next available 1st in 2030...  But if they could shed that contract & end up with a 1st, the situation becomes a lot better. Depending on what he thinks of Fields, Daboll could bite.

You could say the same thing when McDermott was considering the Bills head coaching job.

 

We got brand new rich owners willing to do anything to win, BIG DIFFERENCE between us and Chicago. If Ralph still owned the team i would agree but as long as McCaskey owns it they arent going anywhere. Maybe one of the younger kids can do a better job but that remains to be seen.

Can't tell if that's a wish he's hired, or  a wish they pass him over!

from what was reported Staley was one of those rare he walks out of the room and the entire panel looks at one another and says "that's our guy" moments. Mike Tomlin was famously that in Pittsburgh

 

Sadly the same was true of Rex Ryan when he interviewed here.

If the Bears brass believes that Fields will be a great QB they should hire Daboll. If they don’t, they should hire Frazier.
