Black Monday

[CTA_employee9]

He has never sealed the deal

You are correct that he has never won a Super Bowl in his relatively short tenure with the 49ers. What he has shown is that he can take QBs like Kaep and Alex Smith and build a legitimate NFL offense. I sure hope there is someone in Halas Hall pounding their fist for the opportunity to bring him in.

This has been a real lame black Monday.

I'm still holding my breath.... Beginning to turn blue now.

 

[zabavka]

Insane that they came out looking like that when trying to put their best foot forward and keep their jobs.

Unless they already knew they were coming back

 

[CTA_employee9]

Retaining Eberflus and drafting a QB at #1 is approaching the definition of insanity for this franchise. I hope they surprise us all.

Harbaugh would be able recreate whatever Eberflus did while being a better tactician and developer of players.

 

[modo]

Correct. Bears should pass on coaches like Shanahan and Harbaugh who have a history of a lot of success (but no super bowl) to keep Eberflus

Im not saying pass on him...Im saying I wonder how much control he wants for a coach that never won a championship...

 

[ChicagoBearsSinceBirth]

Supposedly Kevin Warren's mentor was Dick Vermil and he likes his building of continuity like he supposedly did with the rams..


Dick Vermeil had winning seasons as an NFL head coach under his belt before joining St Louis. But sure, the Eberflus Pokémon will evolve into Dick Vermeil year 3 because Kevin Warren said so.

 

[modo]

In some ways, it may not be a bad thing. No coach has ever won a Super Bowl with 2 different teams

I guess that is one way of looking at it...

But he hasn't won anything, but may want almost total control....

Unless that QB hits. Things can turn around really fast if you have a QB.

I like Fields. I think they can win with him, I'm just not convinced they can win it all with him.

Just wait and see what happens with the current situation.

If it doesn't work out in a couple of years, they can hire Harbaugh and draft the top quarterback then.

This was a playoff team without those tough losses. No reason to make any changes to a playoff team. I'm scared it might not work out if there's any change.

 

[jive]

Although the players love Flus, I wouldn't doubt that there would be some that would excited to have Harbaugh.

Williams has a lot of the same issues as fields....keeping fluss and drafting a QB with similar weaknesses is def a recipe for success

 

[jive]

Harbaugh / Roman / Fields or draft pick
A DC that doesn't know what a Cover-2 is.

 

[hyatt151]

If even by then.

what about Getsy

 

[Les Grossman]

Nagy and lovie for like the last 4-5 years of his tenure. This is the bears MO.

Excuse me but Lovie actually earned his good graces with this organization. He was a very successful coach here.

The complete control thing is something people tell themselves to cope when he isn't hired. He interviewed with Minnesota who had a brand new gm in charge of things that wasn't a hand picked Harbaugh guy and he wanted that job.

 

[msadows]

guys harbaugh aint happening.

You dont let a guy do 9 hours of exit interviews just to fire him afterwards.

You're scared to not be in mediocrity? You love the 8-9 seasons?

If one of these QB'S ends up as a generational talent and Poles passes, that's a recipe for termination

 

[zabavka]

If Harbaugh wins tonight the frenzy to hire him will be crazy
