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

I am ok with Daboll leaving. The base is set for this offense with Allen. It’s not like a new guy is just installing a completely new system they would just add on to what Allen knows and likes to run. Daboll has his days but sometimes he’s a really bad play caller. I think he’d be a great fit for Chicago

Great guy.  I hope it works out for him.  And that he takes a Bills Super Bowl ring with him in mid-February. 

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

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

Plus, if the season goes as we hope & expect, no one can talk to him til mid February

I would imagine Daboll would like someone who is familiar with his system and concepts vs starting all over again with another raw prospect.............................

 

Probably close to a zero percent chance Trubisky ends up back in Chicago.

I believe the league changed the rules and clubs can now virtually interview guys the last 2 weeks of the regular season.

Lemme look

Quote

Another notable change revealed in Tuesday's memo is that, beginning in the upcoming hiring cycle, teams are allowed to interview a candidate for a head coach position during the final two weeks of the regular season with the consent of the employer club. The interview can be virtual, and once the employing team gives consent, the candidate will be able to interview for any open head coach role.

 

Of course, depending upon the situation with regard to seeding the Bills could refuse permission I guess

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.

Is everyone overlooking the Rooney Rule?  

 

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.

Bills Coaching staff is getting raided this offseason.

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.

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.

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.

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.
