Lost out on Justin Frye while we wait for the 64 year old asst or co oline coach from Tulane to make up his fucking mind. Like how hard is this Tulane has a main oline coach you really want to stay there? You would think he would be jumping at the chance to get back to the NFL. Not that I want him anyways if he was so great why didn’t Payton hire him when he returned?

You never heard of any of these guys until last month. (Neither have I) If he is the hire he’s definitely experienced enough. We shall see.

And I read the DL coach isn’t going to be the main guy. Don’t know if that’s accurate or not yet

yeah and if you had kept him you wouldn't have had to waste a 4th for Taylor
"waste"? He just ha the best Gross and Net average per punt in franchise history.

Oh, you mean we should have kept Tress 6 years ago because he was good in 2024, right? Yeah, great idea.

I think we all trust Dennis Allen, a successful DC to pick his staff over what a CCS member wants.

I have full trust in Dennis Allen.

BJ’s agent also had an interesting point in one of his interviews. He said there frequently is turnover between the first and second year of a new staff because it’s hard to get all the guys you want the first time around. (Teams don’t allow lateral moves) I don’t think he was alluding specifically to the Bears situation but just in general that putting a good staff together can be a multi year process.

I’m sorry for daring to question the process. I forgot it’s that time of year to unquestionably love everything the Chicago Bears do.

I never claimed to be an expert on these people. I do have the ability to critically think though and I know oline is the most important hire. This wreaks of having no plan for it and I don’t like that. It doesn’t mean it can’t work or that I’m proclaiming to be an expert.

How is there no OL coach hired yet?
I think it just shows how there isn't many great OL coaches out there and why Chris Morgan stayed on with us through the years and Coach/Gm change. OL is the toughest group to get to play as one unit with how hard it is to find good starters let alone good backups and it's so important for the 5 guys to have continuity as one unit that when one or more get injured and you have to now play one or more new guys that that once again messes up the continuity and now the new group has to gain that but usually by the time they do there's another change somewhere in the OL. We dealt with this an unbelievable amount through the years especially last year.

So the agent is basically saying what I am fearing. That some of these hires suck but you gotta get somebody for now.

Justin Frye is a great oline coach by all accounts. It took the Cardinals one day to hire him while we wait for the Grandpa to unclutch his pearls.

And so is the guy Dan R guy. 🤷‍♂️

The grandpa comment makes me think your only real issue is his age.

How long it’s taking for his most important offensive hire. It’s all a snowball effect from Fraley’s wife saying no to the OC promotion. Then you have Notre Dame’s coach saying no thanks. So now we are on option 3, great.

If Fraley says yes we don’t have this issue or the Doyle hire which came out of left field. Nothing seems organized and he is struggling to build a staff it’s obvious.

But go ahead tell people it’s all great.

I find it's better than hating everything they don't do.
