You aren’t hearing me. Im not saying it will, im saying it’s Busch league to have to grab Eddie George for a token interview 2 seconds after the lions lost.
Do you think the Bears called Eddie George two seconds after the Lions lost?

You know what you oughta do? You oughta stop worrying about what and when the press announces something and let the process play out.

Do you really give a shit when J ay Glazer tells you they’re interviewing a particular candidate? Do you think it matters? Really?

They fired Flus like 6 weeks ago, if they're needing to bring in candidates on that short of notice then what were they doing over the 6 weeks? It's not like the rule just appeared out of nowhere.
Maybe they don’t wanna bring in token candidates. Maybe they honest to Christ are considering minority candidates. Have you considered that?

People have some pretty crazy hangups on Kingsbury. I guaran-frickin-tee that if he came here, the Bears at the very least would have one of the better offenses in the league.
I think he was perceived as a fail in AZ but people grow and learn from their experience. Though just like with BJ, a great OC doesn't necessarily make great HC.

Bears, Giants, Jets not good at offense. Draft offense horribly, always wrong. Wrong quarterback, wrong receiver, injured offensive line. Wrong head coach, wrong offensive coordinator. Running back they draft well.

These teams will continue to fail. They keep trying to do things to build offense and and go 4-13.

Hello MM...

Raiders are interviewing former Lions executive and current Commanders assistant GM Lance Newmark today for their general manager job, per sources.

The Raiders will interview Commanders assistant general manager Lance Newmark for their GM post today, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. It was reported just a few days ago that Newmark had a “leg up” on the competition for the Las Vegas job even though the club had not yet formally requested an interview as of the date of that report.

The timing of the interview could be telling. Newmark spent 26 years as a Lions scout/executive before leaving for Washington last year, and as Schefter notes, he has a strong relationship with Detroit offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn (both of whom have already interviewed virtually with the Raiders). Since the Lions lost to the Commanders in last night’s divisional round bout, both Johnson and Glenn are free to have sit-down interviews with any team, a development that could set off a chain reaction of coaching hires around the league.

The Bears and Jaguars reportedly remain in the Johnson sweepstakes, though there have been increased rumblings connecting the coveted OC to the Raiders. Schefter’s ESPN colleague, Jeremy Fowler, reiterates that the prospect of a Newmark-Johnson tandem in Las Vegas has been gaining traction in league circles. That is particularly true since Johnson has made plain his desire for “alignment” with whatever GM he works with, a desire that may have made Tom Telesco a one-and-done GM with the Raiders.

I'm looking forward to the @nc0gnet0 meltdown when we get Ben Johnson.

Although there were some moments along the way where I did have a doubt or two, I've been calling Ben Johnson to the Bears since during the regular season (as in not saying its what I want, but as in its happening).
Congrats on going out on a limb

did we interview Kliff? I can’t remember at all, but I’m starting to warm on him as a HC.

Jayden’s played lights out but Kliff has done a great job setting him up for success.

They put in an interview, but he's waiting until after the post-season.

He'd be my #2, but my concern is he'd **** us over if we waited it out for him, just to get back at us for not hiring him the first time around. He seems pretty content staying in Washington.

Gotta say reading Eddie's background he seems really damn intelligent. Guy even got his MBA from northwestern so that might be the chicago connection.
