Bears request permission to interview Frazier


Process

Recommended Posts

Honestly if I was Miami I would hire Frazier and bring Ken Dorsey in as OC to work with Tua.

 

The Dolphins fired their HC because he is difficult to deal with. Frazier would be the ideal guy to replace him with. 

 

It also takes talent from your rival. Dolphins are a good football team with a few tweaks and a good leader.

I wish this whole process didn't get started through the playoffs, don't like the idea of having the distraction of interview prep in the back of their minds.

 

I do too but the Super Bowl is Feb 13th and the Scouting Combine starts Mar 1st so I can see the other side's point.

Maybe a few years ago I would agree when people had to fly around for these interviews. These days they can do an interview on ZOOM and the coach misses minimal time.

I’d 100% trade Frazier for two third round picks. 

 

In this day and age of everyone is a draft geek, fans don't properly value what they have on their team when they hear draft pick compensation.

Minimal travel time, yes. But candidates prepare for interviews - I'm guessing that involves watching film of the prospective team, which, since the Bills didn't play the Bears this season, Frazier hasn't done.

 

I understand the desire to have a HC in place before scouting "officially" begins, but from our perspective, I want Frazier watching film of the playoff teams we're up against and developing his plan for the upcoming week.

Perhaps he's seen Bears film this years when scouting out oir opponents. At least enough to have a working knowledge. And we did play them in preseason. 

 

I doubt they are grilled too much on what the hiring teams season was...more imtrested in what they would do going forward

Third round draft picks don't often become difference-making players.

 

Frazier has been a difference making coach.  It's hard to know how much was him - and how much was McD - but the two of them transformed a mediocre defense into the best defense in the league.   One of the reasons free agents now want to come here is Frazier.  

 

Forget the draft picks, I want Leslie.  

 

But if he does get a HC gig, I wish him well.

If a minority coach is hired away to become a head coach elsewhere, the team from which he is hired gets the picks.

Just a minority coach? Seems very unfair to possible minority coaches as teams might not want to take the 2 draft picks hit by hiring a minority. Seems very unfair frankly..

I don’t think the picks come from the team that signs him.  I believe they are comp picks at the end of the round.

According to the majority here, Daboll craps the bed most weeks... 

 

 

 

Daboll is awesome. I just thought there was some weird rule about it. Maybe, interviews?

 

Either way, it does seem annoying teams are allowed to do this while another team is still playing.

Majority no?  Just a vocal group who have personal experience crapping the bed.  Some have naturally dyed yellow pants too.

 

Do you read the game thread? Not much love for him there... have rarely seen a bigger case where someone gets 1 percent of the credit when they win and 99 percent of the blame when they lose...

I love what Leslie Frazier has done for our defense, and I'm sure he's an outstanding coach

 

But any team that hires him isn't exactly firing up their fanbase and with a young QB needing to be developed, it's hard to see the Bears, or many other teams choosing him as head coach

Fanbases don't win games.
