I have no problem with Marvin Lewis.

He would actually be in my top 3 behind Brian Daboll and Robert Saleh.

My criteria is probably different from most here though.

I want a guy who has had success at multiple NFL stops. Unlike Nagy who was just Andy Reid's clipboard carrier or Marc Trestman who was just a position coach who made a name in the CFL.

Both Daboll and Saleh are both young guys who have been successful and gotten promoted and have developed good units as coordinators.

Marvin Lewis fits the bill for me because he has been a successful NFL coach as well.
Overall Winning record,
Mulitple Playoff appearances
Teams are usually competitive
teams are usually disciplined
players respect him,
his tenure in the league means that he should be able to put together a good staff.

He has some knocks against him but I think he could do good with the Bears.

Hell no...

All those playoff appearances. Zero playoffs wins. His players were COMPLETELY reckless and undisciplined. Defended DUMB ass players who cost his team games and never held them accountable...

Jim Harbaugh is a winner winner chicken dinner!
He’s be an idiot not to try to salvage his $9 million salary in Ann Arbor. I guess he could get a huge severance package though.

This will not be a Bears hire....it will be the hire of whoever is GM. Bears will hire the GM....that's what worries me. Since the 80's.....Pace, Emery, Angelo, Hatley, Wanny, Graves and Tobin. Not exactly a "who's who" of dynasty builders.
Mark Hatley did draft Urlacher though. No dynasty. but a great centerpiece with #54.

He also gave usCurtis Enis and David Terrell. Urlacher was a no brainer on his last draft.

especially after Plaxico came off the board on the pick right before the Bears selection, to this day, i still think Burris was #1 on the Bears draft board that day,

You're so edgy and cool.
Is there something wrong with you or this is a real response?
