Adam Jahns: Duce Staley may join Bears

[MikeDitkaPolishSausage]

Nope, but he banged both of them

Damnnnnn. That’s savage

 

[tcmtrinity]

I always thought Deuce was a much cooler name than Junior.

 

[Chicago Staleys]

Duce was a solid #3 RB on my 1999 fantasy team.

 

[DBCOOPER]

I read the title and thought we were considering him as a player and thought he must be old as fuck.

 

[WindyCity]

I can’t even really pretend to give a shit about a RB coach.

Save the money
Don't even have a rb coach

He joined the Lions which should tell you what people think of the Bears right now.

Not enough biting off knee caps around here Nagy is soft as fuck

 

[WindyCity]

This is why you do not keep coaches and GMs that have little to no job security left.

Now you get to hire reject coaches and your good coaches that can will leave.

Did he? Man I know the Lions HC had an idiotic press conference but they are putting together a heck of a front office and coaching staff over there. I’d feel much better having their situation than the the Bears that is for sure.

No doubt about it. The question should have been “Do we feel comfortable extending Nagy and Pace?” If the answer was no they should have been fired. Simple as that.

Truth.

Bears have yet to hire an outside coach this season.

Very telling that league wide professional football "guys" are avoiding the Bears like the plague while Georgie, Sweatster and Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb are "collaborating".

This is a problem, not only did they lose out an experience RB coach in Duce they also lost out on James Bettcher whom I thought they would bring in to replace Monachino. Who's to say whether or not a new coach and GM could put together a better staff. My question is if they did replace the 2 of them what kind of Coach and GM would be willing to come to Chicago?

 

[Pegger]

Duce is in a tough spot. He's regarded as a great 'leader of men' type coach, but not an X's and O's type guy.

That makes it hard to hire him for a coordinator position. You either hire him as the HC or same thing he's doing (RB/assistant HC).

I know many of the players love Duce and wanted him to get HC looks. The issue I think that came up was he doesn't have a plan to build a diverse coaching tree beneath him. He's a great rah-rah guy, but after that he's not planned how things will look in 3-5 years. Totally understandable for someone who's never been a HC, but that's a skill he'll have to develop in time.

I will add, I'm not sure where he fits with Dan Campbell. They are both rah-rah guys, so eventually you'll need some substance people to fill those gaps.

So what did you hear about this? Did they make him a higher offer in money? Did they offer him a better position title then we did? Did we even make him an offer at all?

I don't know about Campbell, but Dorsey was a great hire. And they are in a position to actually be in the mix for a QB this draft and getting draft capital for Stafford. The Lions are in 10x better position than the Bears currently.

Meanwhile, Pace/Nagy in Chicago:

He is a RB coach so not that big of a miss you would think, however Watson seems to be big at looking at minority offensive hires across the league. This would help that situation. Other coaches want stability and this coaching staff and GM does not offer them that. Bears kind of got lucky with them having a good dcoordinator option already on the staff.

 

[Bear_Assed]

Staley turned down the Bears and is joining the Lions for the exact same position. Lol. Not sure how Bears will get any talented coaches with the uncertainty at GM and HC beyond 2021.

He literally picked the Lions over the Bears... that says a lot.
