Totally need to hire the best available at both jobs. They threw some diversity names out there for political correctness. Pollian has a good history of success and will help. George's speech kinda of sucked. Calling out Olin Kruetz was a cheap shot. Said no Ted but will go to him for advice?. A different way to say he's still here. Heard we are interviewing Morocco Brown (GM) and Leslie Frasier, both would be good choices. Flores got fired in Miami, that's my first choice for coach. Took a terrible roster and made them winners. Wanted Herbert over Tua but got overruled by orwnership. A good leader that players want to play for. I hope they make a quick decision so they can start the process right away.

He left with Fangio then was DC with Rams 2 yrs ago. So last yr would have had the choice of Chargers HC or DC with us? I think he would have chosen Chargers every time.

As much as it doesnt matter, I always feel better when the Bears win. Had some positives in the game.

I agree it needs to be a priority because it makes everything else better. I think we stick with the development of Borom and Jenkins so a OT wont be a high pick. I do see an upgrade at OC as the most important move. Whether resign Daniels and plug him at center. I listen to Olin on the SCORE and that Daniels now has experience that he didnt have when he was original plugged in to OC. Great at RBlocking and has gotten better at PBlocking. I think it would be easier to get a stud at RG than trying to find a OC that excels as a rookie.

I would like to see more of Newsome. He may be a capable top 4 WR. As far as spending money, we need one big , however we get him but we need to first fill a couple other positions . OC and CB. secondly a SS.

I think when he took over and had a coach of the year 2018. His ego got the best of him. He thinks his system is supreme and can't get off of it.

If we had a average offense this year, he would have 60 receptions and Mooney would have over 1000 yards by now. No discipline, bad play calling, and poor leadership affects everyone's stats.

I like this draft but you can't not draft a CB even if Graham mans that spot.

I think we have to concentrate on bringing Daniels back, extend R. Smith before we have a problem in a yr with him. Also bring back , Nichols, DHC, Bars, Jesse James, Ogletree ( not expensive). Cut Goldman , Trevathan, Cohen, Dalton post June 1 and you save 19 mil. Tonga-Ogletree-Foles take over those spots. Resign Grant for the money you would have paid Cohen. Looking at salaries for 2022, I noticed they still have Jason Peters and is still signed for the yr. Maybe he will hang around as a backup to Jenkins. Whatever way works out, play Daniels at OC and get a new RG or leave him at RG and draft a new OC. Need to bring in a big WR draft or FAgency Need to bring in a couple of CBs draft and FAgency even if Graham is able to man that spot. Hicks would be wonderful to bring back but I dont think he signs for a cheap contract back here, maybe go somewhere else for cheap money. Would he resign for 2 yr --12 mil with 8 guaranteed?

Truthfully we need to draft the best players available with our first couple of picks in area of needs. Not in any order. WR , SS, OC, CB, DT.

Seems to have skills, 3 games should be able to let you know if he's a starter next year. This would be huge. This scouting department has did well on later round talent. If Pace moves to president of football operations, we can keep our scouts intake. Otherwise if we let everyone go, we may lose some scouts.

I agree with everything you said. I think Jenkins has gotten shoved into a bad spot and all is issues is due to lack of practice. He has the physical presence and attitude to have success at OT. Pace has found some gems the last few yrs. Graham looks like a potential starter next yr. I think Mooney could end up being a #1 WR, we just need to get a big WR to complement him. (no AROB) Fields looks confused and makes so many mental mistakes. I think he could be a franchise QB but these games arent doing much for his case. Riddick would be a good choice. I think Pace moves to president of football operations ( Phillips job) and then we could keep most of the scouting dept instead of complete turnover. Hires a new GM and then the GM hires the coach. A new GM would keep Pace in check on the stupid moves he has done. Quinn now has 16 sacks, just think how next yr will look with a healthy Mack. It would be nice to keep Hicks but his injury history will prevent him from getting a big contract and dont think he would take chump change here but would go somewhere else and get a 2 yr 12 mil contract. We have pieces but have to get the right coach to make this a hopeful future.

Unvaxxed players have to follow rigid rules where jabbed players dont. 0 people have been hospitalized or gotten ill. This is a testing problem. They need to just move forward and stop with this policy of constant testing. No one is dying or even getting sick. This is just another flu that ended up getting political and now all of this insanity. Unvaxxed players have gotten all of the attention but they are not the problem. I have watched several doctors explain the PCR test and it doesnt even distinguish between viral particles. So how are they discovering the new variant unless everyone is getting blood tests? (that's not happening). The FDA has pulled their approval of the PCR test starting the first quarter of 2022. It is inaccurate and not effective. All these policies are being based on PCR testing, this is ridiculous. Covid is a flu stain and it is never going away. We need to just go back to normal and treat it for what it is. If vaccines dont protect you from covid, then they are just flu booster shots.

Shows you have incompetent's this coaching staff is when it takes a flu outbreak to find a practice player that can play. At least he should have had a chance to play before when Vidor didnt work out. Graham may be a keeper.

This is going to be a mess, several teams have the same problem. I wouldn't doubt if the NFL quickly changes the policy. Maybe just one negative test. Its rare anyone gets sick let alone severe conditions. Its a testing problem.

The first problem is the tests their using is only 50% effective according to the FDA . after the first of the year they are going to a different test. So that screws stuff up. Then whether vaccinated (93%) in NFL, or not you can still catch it. The death rate is 1/10th of 1% if under 50. This is never going away. We have to treat it like the common flu and live with it. Before covid , we never treated flus like this. It is more contiguous before no different in deaths than the flu. So once big pharma quits pushing this fear narrative for profit, we can get back to normal. it will take another year before we get back to close to normal.

Everything is speculation who would be good and not. Who thought Kingsbury would do well, I sure didn't. Nagy was king of the hill after 2018 and look where he is now. Its tough finding a Tom!in type. I think Todd Bowles that had previous head coach experience would be less risky.

I think we need to be realistic when projecting possible FAs. We have a lousy cap space and a WR that will come here will not be getting a big paycheck. Maybe 4 60 mil is the most will not get you the top of the group. If they draft one , those odds go down. We will not be the highest bidder for any free agents this yr. That leaves AROB, Goodwin and Adams out of the picture. Gallup is projected to make 12 mil a yr. Mike Williams is estimated to make 15.5 a yr.

We have been in this position to many times. At this point we need to let the young players play and see what we have. Jenkins got thrown in the fire. Next week will be much better.

I stand corrected. Never seen this story. The only one I read was a SI story that suggested deal was not done yet.

The only in depth information I found on the topic was a SI story. I'm not trying to suggest he is a good dude, just that the narrative was worst than the story suggested. I will try to find a link.

He does what he thinks will allow him to win the game. They won. When Nagy had the 2018 season where he dumbed it down and added some trick plays, we won. We thought we had this great hire. 4 yrs later, John Fox had a better offensive scheme. The McDaniels era in Denver started out rough because he wanted to bring his own QB and would make Jay Cutler compete for the job. He made some bad decisions leading to a11-17 record. How was that betrayal to anyone. John Elway was in Benson's ear trying to get his foot in the door, so they fired him. The Colts job hire broke down when the Colts wouldn't give him control of the organisational aspect of the team. He wanted to remake the Colts into the Patriots then Kraft told him if he stayed he would take over when Brady and Belichick retired. Brady moved on and Belichick didn't retire, so that's off the table now. He never signed a contract and bailed . The colts pulled a Bears move and announced the hire before he was hired. He didn't bail on a job hire. I'm not saying he's the likable guy Nagy is , but he has a better offensive mind, because offense ain't working here. Any job hire will have its good and bad aspects. McDaniel can win with Fields, ill take that.

He is being connected to the Bears because someone is projecting that because he played for them. For me having been a HC before carries merit. Also he has had success as a DC. The most important thing that any DC oriented prospect have to offer is to answer the question , who will be your OC? The hiring will be about Fields, period. I get the feeling Pace will not be leaving, of which he already should have been fired over his cap management, but will be moved to President of football operations. Moving Phillips to getting the new stadium on board. I think that would not be a bad thing to at least have a football guy in that position. Then Pace will hire a new GM that will in turn hire a new coach. Because of Paces ties to Payton in NO, could he want out of NO with the fall off of success from the Brees era? Bringing Payton in to be GM and HC to work with Fields? Payton is one of the better coaches in the league, and maybe he would look for a new challenge?

That could very well happen, but do we hire or not hire a coach because of a maybe? I doubt Belichick leaves in one or two yrs with a rookie QB that could put him on a path to several future SB wins. I dont think they are strong enough this yr to take a SB win, but have progressed to one of the better teams in the American league. Brady won one, Belichick wants to set himself apart from , he needed Brady to win, with another QB that sets him up for multiple SB wins. I do think Indy or Denver prohibits him from getting him a HC job again.

I cant believe anyone hasnt mentioned Josh McDaniels. He , although failed, has head coaching experience. Runs a offense in NE that adapts to his talent, instead of trying to push a specific scheme. He handles the QB coaching duties also . Mac Jones has not been spectacular but he seems to be doing what is needed to get the job done. He believes in the run, and good defenses. I think he would be the best choice as the new coach.
