I would love the pressers with Fangio. Not a chance it happens though and I'd be astonished if any defensive coach is being serioisly considered.

I just read somewhere that we interviewed Toub in 2013 for the head coaching job.

I'm not sure what to think of this. In one sense, I really like Fangio both as DC and possible HC...but I can't help but feel like we really do need an offensive minded guy both for Trubisky's development and also to keep that continuity with the scheme/playbook. I absolutely do NOT want to be shuffling through offensive coordinators every 1,2, or 3 years like we did with Cutler. IMO Trubisky will have zero chance if we are changing coordinators like that.
It's also hard to imagine they would just be talking to him about staying as DC. That is a decision that should fall purely on the shoulders of the new HC. You can't tell guys during the interview "Just so you know if you accept this job, Fangio MUST be the DC". It would be awesome if that's what they wanted, but typically new hires want to bring in their own guy.

If you want a chance to keep him as a DC you have to show him the respect of the HC interview.

I think it was how the interview went down that pissed him off. I suspect Emery was requested to do so and rubbed lots of people the wrong way. Emery insisting on hiring the coaches didn't help either.

This. His chances of moving up elsewhere get better if those familiar with him show interest.

What if the interview was a just a cover because via some back channeling a candidate such as McDaniels has indicated he really wants to retain Vic Fangio if he gets the Bears job? Maybe the point of the interview was to gauge his interest in sticking around once the new coach is hired?

I think we're getting waaaayyy ahead of ourselves. They've not even interviewed an external candidate yet.

Wouldn't be the dumbest idea. I like the fact they're interviewing him regardless.

Pace had an opportunity to fire Fox at any point this season and give Fangio an audition. Everyone knew by week 10 Fox was gone, if Fangio is a candidate now why wasn’t he given a chance on an interim basis to show what he could do?

He's got almost no chance of getting hired.
Fangio must be pretty cynical about the motives for him getting the interview but the alternative is no interview and 0% of him coming back as DC. Plus it gives them something to do until Friday.
