Coaching /GM Interview Tracker (Liam Coen is a Jag, Pirate Pete is a Raider, Cowboys hired a guy)

It is bizarre that swearing isn't allowed here.

What the ****!

Less pressure in the sense they obviously need to rebuild so he likely gets a few years of grace. Any new Bears coach is likely going to be expected to make the Bears a playoff contender this year.

And with all the draft/cap space capital they likely should

The team is only awful in bears fans minds, there is plenty of skill position talent. All teams have holes, even the ones playing today.

There is also no guarantee the raiders situation ever getting fixed. They have no QB and I see no way for them to get a good one. Not even guaranteed there will be a good one in the draft next year

The Tomlin news is significant. He makes $16 million which means they will be willing to at least match that for Johnson if they have to. The optics of losing him over money when you would pay Tomlin that amount is not something they will want to deal with when trying to get the public behind them for a stadium.

Warren needs this public opinion win.

Paying an 18 year HC who has never had a losing season and made 2 SBs winning 1 is a lot different than paying a novice HC 16m a year.

Can you imagine if Johnson bombs and now you gotta fire a coach after 3 years while you still owe them 32m?

Who cares?

This is like no money for the mccaskeys. People act like they are still cheap, which has been a dated criticism for a long time now.

If they want ben johnson $$ wont be the issue. It will be if ben johnson actually wants this team, culture, front office, etc.

IF he doesnt pick the bears its simply because he doesnt like how things are ran here.

Thank god the Steelers saved us from ourselves. They just had the offensive version of Mike Tomlin in their building a few days ago.

They should be contacting CLE to inquire about Stefanski. If you can connect some dots, he's almost certainly the one who texted Florio a couple month ago asking him why his name wasn't included among potential HC trades for the Bears. 2 time COY winner.

CLE is in a stasis right now waiting to rid themselves of Watson's contract and dead cap money before they can realistically compete again. It's going to be a while. I don't know why they wouldn't want to get a jump start on that rebuild if the Bears came calling.

What makes Stefanski worth giving up a draft pick for? He hasn't been a HC long and almost certainly signed off on one of the worst traded and contracts in NFL history while failing miserably at getting Watson to play remotely close to his peak with the Texans.

I will confess I haven't followed him at all so maybe I am missing something.

 

[remydat]

Actually, Reid alone has been to 5, winning 3. Harbaugh has been to 1 and then Sean Payton went to 1 and he won it. So, 7 SBs winning 4.

Yeah I had only counted the ones Reid won. My bad.

 

[NeverDieEasy]

1) Does not
2) A known beta with the NFL top offense, a HC your QB wants.
3) Won't have to look at dumbass fans dressed as Ditka in the stands ......Duh Bears
4) Won't have to worry about some Special person that wasted the 32nd overall pick on Chase Claypool. Or drafting a punter in the 4th, or VJJ
5) Won't be working for a team president that can't get a stadium built to save his life
6) See 4
7) Won't have to worry about his incompetent GM not knowing how to build out an O-line
8) It's called family, dumbass
9) Not in a division with the Lions, Vikings, and Green Bay

Now, if you really want to see what a Beta cuck looks like, just look at the McCaskey boys.

or you could just look in a mirror!

 

[nc0gnet0]

1) Sure it does. You and others have been adamant it isnt about the money but then you worried about state taxes.

2) No one said he isn't a good playcaller. Just that he is a beta.

3) Can you be anymore stupid?

4) Every GM fucks up so pretending you know how good his GM would be in Vegas is stupid.

5) The Chiefs who have one 3 Super Bowls recently are also struggling to get a stadium built and yet they still keep winning. Almost like this has **** all to do with the product on the fields.

6) See 4

7) Bears OL when healthy has been ranked middle of the pack.

8) You saying his family soft too?

9) Lol the AFC West had coaches that have appeared in 5 SBs winning 4. They have arguable better QBs and better defenses. None of the NFC Coaches have been to a SB.

I have never stated money doesn't matter, my only comments on that is the Bears were too cheap.

You continue to be an idiot, but continue with your coach dujour.

 

[remydat]

Well I think the Bears care. Less about being cheap and more about whether his resume really is worthy of paying him 16 million a year. I don't think it is as a first time coach with 2.5 years of playcalling experience.

When the report came out that Johnson wanted 15m a year last year you claimed it was not true and that it wasn't about the money. Now you saying state taxes matter. LMFAO!

Not to mention claims are still that he wants like 15-16 million a year.

They aren't trading Stefanski, they just made Tommy Reese their OC under him. I wish they would because i have him #1 on my list if they would but they aren't.

I think people might be overlooking the purpose of this.

Mike Tomlin has the biggest contract in the NFL for a head coach.

The Bears just tried to "trade" for him.

This is a message to Ben Johnson's camp that money will not be an issue...

If they want him 16m/yr isnt stopping them from getting him.

Money isnt an issue. He's clearly their top candidate, I dont know if the bears are his.

 

[DefNextYear]

I’m not even sure I feel the same about Stefanski after hearing the Watson report stuff. He’s handled that all terribly.

Has there ever been one report of money being an issue?

The issue is always ownership, poles, etc.

I disagree. I think it will be. I think the Bears would be monumentally stupid to pay Johnson more than Reid, Tomlin and other far more accomplished coaches.

Some of ya'll seriously still think the mccaskeys are cheap. Your branes dont work then

 

[DefNextYear]

I don’t think there would be less pressure if you went to the Las Vegas Raiders, and signed a massive contract. There would be all kinds of pressure.

Yea, nothing screams less pressure like being paid more than almost every other coach in the league and demanding to hand pick your GM so you can control everything. No pressure.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

Oh I don't know. I mean it's not like there's this ongoing narrative about the McCaskeys among fans and national media that they are just an incredibly cheap organization who flies their candidates in on coach, going back to the days where people said Halas threw around nickels like manhole covers.

No, certainly there never was some sort of narrative like that around the Chicago Bears, that's continually perpetuated by people from all sorts of stratum, that might need to get addressed publicly before the Bears are capable of landing a top tier coach.



(For the record, I do agree with you that it is the ownership that's the major problem, but let's not pretend that narrative isn't out there and if the Bears found out it may be a concern of Johnson's camp, then what I said makes sense)

The only last voice signing off on the record breaking deal they gave D.Watson was ownership. Stefanski only gave his opinion on the player, not the contract, and nobody thought D.Watson would take such a huge step down like he has.
