Now With BJ In Place, Who Will Stay..

[Canth]

From the NFL's own website:

• Clubs must conduct an in-person interview with at least two external diverse — minority and/or female — candidates for any GM or head coaching interview.
• Clubs must interview at least two minorities and/or women for all coordinator positions.
• Clubs must interview a least one diverse candidate for the QB coach position or any senior level executive position at the club.

The bullet points for other than HC, do not specify in person or external. So, I would expect him to be able to use interviews with guys like Brown, Hightower, and Washington to be usable towards satisfying the rule then.

on edit: But then I see an SI article that does not make that differentiation. So, I don't know.

Explaining the NFL’s Rooney Rule Requirements

Here’s a look at how the rule works as teams search for new coaches and front-office members.

Looking around on other articles, there seems to be a general consensus that at least one coordinator candidate must be external...still not clear if that has to be in person or not.

He did ok for a couple games and things went south after he became HC. Hard to really judge that.

Not sure a new coach would want a holdover in a prominent position, on his side of the team, that he isn't familiar with.

He did beat Green Bay to end the season and end their winning streak they had on us.

As the title says.. Who B. Johnson keep around from the current staff?
I think, SP coach, and DB coach stay.

Quite often, a new broom sweeps clean.

Hopefully, whatever choices he makes, no one at Halas Hall will interfere with what he wants to do.

Not surprising but offical;
Interim head coach Thomas Brown, interim OC/WRs coach Chris Beatty, OL line coach Chris Morgan, QB coach Kerry Joseph and defensive coordinator Eric Washington will not be retained by the Bears.

Well, there we go. I thought TB might stick, but not surprising. Ben wants his own people in, which makes sense. I wonder if ANY Bears coaches/staff will stay?

TB being there might make it awfully awkward. I'm not surprised.

I hope Hoke stays.

Anybody surprised by an interim head coach not being allowed to stick around after not getting the job only has themselves to blame, lol

Clean house. When he picks a new DC, if he can't get a big name, which I don't believe that he has to, then I'm hoping that he will look at the system he is planning to implement, whether it's staying with the current defense or moving to a 3-4 & hopefully hires a hotshot position coach that is central to the given system.

If they switch to a 3-4 then find the best LB or DB coach capable of implementing a defense to run their system.

If he plans on staying with the defense as is, then look at what makes the system tick. It's the front 4. It is always the front 4. They already have 2 vet LBs for the brains of the operation with a talented secondary across the board.

Hopefully he'll find the most qualified 1GAP 4-3 defensive line coach, basically another Rod Marinelli type DC to get that defense up and running.

Sounds like ST coach Hightower is going to stay, not getting Rizzi I'm hearing on Twitter.
