My favorite teams
  1. Chicago Bears
The Saints?

What the hell is going on.

The betting market is listening to the talking heads, and many of the talking heads have an anti-Chicago bias, so they are going to try to use their voice to discourage any coach they think could change things around there from going there.

This doesn’t bother me as much as others. As long as they are there for support to Poles and not overtaking the interview. Hopefully they all learn something that helps us long term.

The Packers do this when they hire a new coach, I’m sure others do as well. It’s just because we always suck that it worries people.

Johnson, during the last Bears vs Lions game, took time to watch the Bears offense during the game.

I think its going to be the Bears.

We actually have an update on this from the beat reporters in the past day. It's going to be:

Ryan Poles
Kevin Warren
George McCaskey
Other Board members as deemed necessary
Liz Geist (Executive Vice President of People & Culture)
Karen Murphy (Executive Vice President of Stadium Development)
Jeff King (Player Personnel)
Trey Koziol (Player Personnel)
Matt Feinstein (Football Admin)
And maybe Ian Cunningham.

Fire up those extra servers!!

Do prospective coaches want to talk ball? No! They want to talk about random other shit!

Bears are interviewing 3rd for Ben Johnson. I’d rather be first (patriots) or last (jaguars) but I don’t think it has any real significance.
Last impressions are usually the strongest. However, this is just a first round and probably won't really matter a lot unless we were a longshot to begin with.

So then, everything since '86 has been a complete waste of time for the Bears......................
Yeah pretty much. Were the f*** have you been?? 2006 was almost worth it.

So you'd trade a Super Bowl for 5 good seasons (w/o a SB) then?

I didn't say that. I would take a good five seasons over the Bear's last 5 seasons, however.

It's always the case of non-football people making the football people hiring with the Bears. Idiots.
Imagine you're a coach who just loves ball.

You roll into an interview with a GM who's been in the league and you talk fondly about scouting strategies, playing schemes, etc., and just generally have a good one-on-one time talking about things you both know about.

Then you move on to another team's interview with 14 people, almost none of whom have been in the league. You talk some ball, but you mostly talk about buzzwords and corporate environment stuff.

Which team you picking?

Nobody asked that, weirdo.

Would you take all the Super Bowl Wins that CHI has or all the SB wins that DET has? How about that random question?
