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

[DefNextYear]

If it’s true that Ben Johnson has social anxiety and is not an alpha (and that’s what being bantered around), that might be the perfect hire for the Bears.

There’s no fucking way the Bears hire someone like Mike Vrabel. They didn’t even give Bill Belichick an interview. They are absolutely not interested in Type A tough-guy personalities. It’s beta nice young men all the way down for the McCaskeys and probably for Poles as well.

He seems fine in press conferences. This stuff seems to be the type of smear crap that comes out to generate controversy and get people talking. Even if true, just being good at your job and consistent and all that stuff is all a coach needs to do. Social ability isn't everything and it can even be masked some. Elon Musk has Asperger's and runs some of the best companies in the world. Hell, I even felt DRose always had some level of social anxiety or at least difficulty in social interaction (said as much)... and he just got his jersey retired. It is what it is. Leaders come in all types.

When the hell were they supposed to be able to interview Belichick? He took the UNC job before the NFL season was over.

Now, I doubt they would have anyway, but that just seems kinda silly to worry about for this cycle. No NFL team has interviewed Belichick because he took himself out of the market before the market even opened presumably to set up his son to eventually take over at UNC in the near future.

Billy boy said he's interested in the bears job. There was no mutual interest.

He knew no nfl team wanted him, thats why he went to college.

You really think he's going to pass up setting the all time win record to go coach at fucking UNC? Game passed him by, he was terrible the last few years as a coach and nearly a decade as an executive.

ESPN 1000 is pushing hard for Vrabel.

Yea, perfect to be the next marc trestman.

Wtf are you even talkin about?

That the Bears don’t like Alpha personalities who cuss. Isn’t it obvious?

Speaking at a press conference is a bit different than changing a shitty culture and leading a locker room while holding players accountable.

Very difficult to know he can do that until he does. He isnt leading that locker room in detroit.

As i've mentioned multiple times pencil dick Marc Trestman had a more impressive NFL OC resume than ben johnson and was a joke after the losing started.

One thing I know for sure is vrabel would change this culture and hold players accountable.

Ben is a higher upside candidate but honestly the guy has the ultimate perfect situation in detroit. A pro bowl lineman caliber lineman at every positon, the best run game in the NFL, a top 10 WR, a solid #2(Yea i'll eat crow ncuck), a top 10 TE, and most of all a head coach who is a perfect fit for a guy who's a tactician. Pretty easy life in the NFL as an OC when you get 5+ yards a carry on first down.

Wanted the Atlanta job last offseason, couldn’t get it.

Had interest in Bears job, no mutual interest.

This is all well known. CCS’ers acting like this is all made up, lol

By espn 1000 do you mean bleck and abdalla?

I believe most of that station is in love with ben johnson.

I personally do not have a favorite but ben johnson is far and away the riskiest of the bunch for me, while vrabel is far and away the safest to turn this team around quickly

Is it really that hard to believe a guy who is in his 70's is no longer wanted in the NFL?

Pete is a different situation, because he was at least drafting decent up until he was let go. Sure he had misses but it wasnt to the level bill did, his team was also succesful and still somewhat is without him.

Bill left the patriots completely destroyed as the worst roster in football. NFL GM's notice that. Plus there is the massive ego you have to account for.

 

[PrideisBears]

You haven’t done any of that.

Literally anytime they wanted after canning Eberflus.

Not at all, but CCS’ers are acting like there’s no possible way the Bears could’ve talked to BB.

Yea, I'm not trying to say Ben can or will do that. It's my biggest unknown cause he's not done it before. It's the biggest risk.

I'm just saying that some kind of social anxiety does not mean he can't do the job he needs to do as an HC. A lot of people deal with varying levels of comfort with that, and it doesn't mean they can't be leaders.

I never heard of any social anxiety outside of what toast just stated.

I think he's referring he seems liek a clean cut nice guy which ginny loves. A man who will go to church with you

Whereas vrabel will be dropping f bombs and threatening to slam lazy ass nate davis through a wall if he doesnt practice.

Kap has been working overtime on Vrabel.

The social anxiety thing is absolutely a thing reporters are talking about in podcasts and among each other. No idea whether it’s true, but it’s definitely something people in the league are saying.

Like I said, *if* it’s true

I guess i no longer like vrabel if he does

I guess even a broken clock is right twice a day

Agree. I actually meant it as a plus for BJ, as it may make him more attractive to the McCaskeys, who seem averse to Alphas.

Bears set to interview old man Pete Carroll Thursday 🫠

 

[Moses Moreno]

He doesn't have his own opinions. He flip flopped all over the place last year with the Fields/Caleb stuff but he's maybe helping Breer out a bit on it?

I think Breer is helping pump up Vrabel's value - he's a Pat's guy so he's clearly got ties to Vrabel.

 

[zabavka]

Have the Bears interviewed Thomas Brown yet?
