From terribleToph (@terribleToph): Why does Ryan Poles hate the bears???? why tf we interviewing 2,000 people for head coach.
For the life of me, Toph, I can’t understand why people are against extensive interview processes. The one I like to cite is the Chargers—they interviewed 15 guys for their head-coaching job, nine for their GM job, and still landed on Jim Harbaugh and a GM from his background in Joe Hortiz. The Spanos family will tell you that they’re better and, just as important, better equipped to support Harbaugh and Hortiz after helming a full process.
Running a full operation is more complicated than ever. There are more ideas in the game, good and bad, than ever. Getting more exposure to all of it, to make yourself better, isn’t a bad thing.

Matt Campbell has a 2-6 record vs Kirk Ferentz. Iowa has had one of the absolute worst offenses in college football that past few years. Hard pass. If he wants to move to the NFL, he should start as a coordinator.
And I don't mean to say that he is a bad coach. He has done a great job at ISU. But for the Bears, it would be a very risky hire that would likely blow up in their face, IMO

If you’re looking for an offensive guy, Monken is the most proven play caller that has had sustained success for a long period of time. More so than Johnson.

I disagree. Sark is an amazing play caller. I doubt he leaves TX, but if he did, he’d be near the top of my list for HC candidates for the Bears.

If you have 3-4 candidates you basically know are top-flight, each candidate you add onto that increases the likelihood of you picking someone other than those guys.
"Oh, but you never really KNOW! One of those other guys might be the right pick!"
I mean, maybe. The job is so infamously difficult that just statistically speaking, the more people you consider, the higher the likelihood you pick the wrong person.

Kinda hurts Johnson and the Lions. They're going to have quite the brain drain there this off-season.

Right but there is no Jim Harbaugh for us to end up with after this process. Guys like that don't just come along every day. He was a lock to be a great HC and there's no locks out there for us to land on after this long process of interviewing 18+ candidates. Hopefully they'll really narrow the search down after this 1st round of virtual interviews. If we're the last to hire a HC then we'll also get the last choices for who our new HC hires for OC/DC and the rest of the coaching staff.

which states laws hold precedence, the state in which the proposal was made, or the state in which they preside at the time of the breakup?

Maybe they are using the proceeds George made when he sold his suite to a Lions fan?

I really don't understand why Freeman rushed to sign that extension. If Irish win national championship that could raise his value even higher.

If what they are doing is simply a learning process and maybe even interviewing potential staff hires that makes sense. Maybe that is the objective.
My worry remains they are bad judges of character and could very easily fall in love with one of these outside of the box candidates. George certainly won’t mind as it will be cheap. I can all but guarantee his (George’s) top guy won’t be the most expensive one.

His stock wont get any higher than this.
Is he waiting for the chiefs job to open so he can coach pat mahomes?
Maybe he's waiting to coach the Bills.
