Coaching /GM Interview Tracker (Cunningham makes second round interviews in Jax)

[gallagher]

I said a good coach.

How many of these up and coming coaches are being hyped up for what they have done for one year? Last year it was Slowik, this year it's Kingsbury. Johnson has a consistent track record of success. Dave Toub has a consistent track record of success. (No I'm not advocating for Toub just using him as an example of long term success) Matt Nagy never called plays nor did he have a track record of success before he was hired. Some of these guys are candidates to be a head coach because of the guys they're around or things that they've done for one year. Let me put it another way, football is football at all levels.

My Arizona State Sun Devils hired Kenny Dillingham two years ago and he hired a proven defensive coordinator and play caller to run the defense. Dillingham isn't a defensive guy but he found one. He's been a good coach at ASU. Dillingham hired what was thought to be a proven offensive coordinator. That hire was a disaster he took play calling away from him after 3 games in year one because it was obvious his hire was a mistake. New offensive coordinator lasted one year before he was fired. I've never seen a coach admit a mistake and work to fix it so quickly in such a short amount of time. Dillingham goes out and hires another offensive coordinator and that guy is the best newly hired play caller I've seen at any level of football in a decade. He's an instant upgrade and ASU goes from 3-9 to 11-3 in one year.

Now I'm not saying the new guy is a better coach than Ben Johnson Andy Reid or other more established college coaches I'm just saying he's the best I've seen at immediately providing an upgrade. I want to know where that guy is in the NFL world. If Ben Johnson is the guy the Bears should hire Robert Saleh. I don't care what the relationship is, I don't care what the price tag is, pay him enough fucking money to run your defense. Saleh has a track record with the 49ers and the Jets of being a good defensive coach.

So I want the Bears to be smart and aggressive in hiring their coach and I don't want the media telling us who the best candidates are because they were with some made a big turn around in one year and he became the story of the NFL.

Sorry to edit your comment, but this is way easier on the eyes.

Well, you asked in regards to Dan Campbell, and I said he may soon prove that he is the next one to show that he has built a quality program. I think that the real test is whether an HC builds a program that supports sustained success, so the bar for him will be whether they sustain success beyond this year, as his key coordinators are going to get hired away. The three men I have circled as my preferences are Vrabel, Johnson and Moore, and they are all hyped for at least three years of successful coaching. So I think that we are on the same page as wanting a coach that has more than one year of success. I am just not sure ASU is a strong comparison to Chicago, especially because they just switched conferences in the one year turn-around you mention (and I am not sure that I agree with "football is football at all levels") nor do I see if that naturally follows what you are trying to say... in this very post you mention that Dillingham is the best you have seen at adding one coach who provided an immediate upgrade, and then close this post by commenting that you don't want a coach who is capitalizing on one splash year.

I just want to know how this all applies to your follow up commentary on Dan Campbell. I separated out that I agree that the media creates buzz about who the good coaching candidates are, and expanded to show what a good HC creates. Your replies to me on that measure seemed to be aimed at provoking something negative simply because I mentioned Detroit.

Nothing against you or Dave.

But how long will this fucking fanbase go on and on and continue to drool over Dave Toub. Every year we have to hear this shit.

He's a great ST coach. That's it. If he was better suited, he would have gotten more interviews every single year and landed a job.

(Sorry for the rant)

Rich Bisaccia might make more sense.

Da

It's so cute that you have such a big head. We've seen this before. One iteration was the Minnesota Vikings and their offense in 1998.

The John Fox led Denver Broncos 2013 lost in the Super Bowl 43-8. They scored the most points in NFL history.

The Lions likely won't be tested in the NFC this year. But let's see how they do with whom they face in the Super Bowl.

You're not facing a QB gauntlet in NFC.

Love Darnold Mayfield Hurts, Daniels and if Stafford puts together run he might be the biggest obstacle. The AFC is the clear favorite barring an implosion on the AFC side.

Translation:

blah blah blah, I am an idiot, blah blah blah.

this was your moronic comment

"If Dan Campbell is so great why does the Lions defense continue to suck?"

if they suck so bad, does that mean KC's defense sucks as well?
My gawd, Andy Reid must be a failure.

Went back and looked at who they interviewed for the job in 2022 and wow lol. Not one person on this list I’d hire

Matt Eberflus
Leslie Frazier
Doug Pederson
Brian Daboll
Nathaniel Hackett
Todd Bowles
Byron Leftwich
Dan Quinn
Brian Flores

That year was horrible. Bowles has turned out to easily be the best. He can find OCs like no other apparently.

Let me be clear I'm not saying any of the guys at ASU would make a great NFL coach or that they should be considered for NFL jobs, I'm saying the Bears should be able to accomplish what ASU did by hiring the right guy here just as easily. A good organization knows where the best coaching talent is and how to hire them. It shouldn't be so hard to find a good coach AT ANY LEVEL of football because football is football.

The caveat being I don't know if the college coaches have the chops of the complexity of the NFL.

But you should just as easily be able to identify coaching talent at all levels of football if that makes sense.

Four interviews for Johnson

 

[Rise]

Hmm wonder if there is any significance to going last. I’d rather be first but Poles probably told him he has Shaw scheduled for Friday and needs a day.

They interviewed Jim Caldwell also. Bowles,Quinn and Flores and maybe Pedersen are best of list.

Four interviews for Johnson

I guess rumors of him being selective and only taking interviews for jobs he'd take can't be true... unless he'd really consider the Raiders. That would be wild to me. They have all the dysfunction and lack of success we do, but also with 12 head coaches in the last 20 years. They don't even have a QB in hand. To boot, he needs to face Reid, Harbaugh, and Payton twice a year each.

Dan Quinn is doing pretty well with a rookie QB and in the playoffs.

He wasn’t hired that year, granted he should have been no argument here.

Gotta have a backup plan.

Tom Brady calls you and asks you to interview for his team, you're probably answering.

This actually makes sense. Allow everyone to feel they are on even footing, and also in person interviews just take more time.

Can weed out this massive list virtually and hopefully come away with something more sensible.

David Shaw is my dark horse Bears candidate. He's definitely a Poles guy.

You need two in-person interviews with Rooney Rule candidates before you can hire anybody.

This shit is going to last a WHILE. Vrabel will be gone by the end of next week at the very latest.

So many people will be butt hurt on CCS.
