Who are your choices for both jobs? Many of your posts make a lot of sense.

I like your posts but am trying to understand this one. Is this you questioning a connected person whose name is redacted or just a hypothetical? Sorry if I'm dense.
How Good is the Bears GM Gig: Three Questions with [REDACTED]
dabearsblog.com
____________________
Question One: Generally speaking, how good is this job?
Great. In the last month, about twenty personnel guys around the league have asked me what I thought was happening with Ryan. That’s why I finally asked you. [I believe this was the first time he ever asked me for information.] The job comes with a lot of scrutiny but if you win, that’s your legacy. And because they sadly have not won often, the job has more long-term value than say Pittsburgh or Green Bay.
____________________
Question Two: Is Justin Fields viewed as an asset?
I’m a fan. And I know a lot of other guys are too. Just knowing you don’t have to deal with that position for a couple years while you build a roster is something that candidates will find very attractive.
____________________
Question Three: Without studying the Bears, where would you start?
I think the Bears have a lot of players that are “good enough” at key positions. But they need more blue chippers. How many do they have on that offense? Montgomery. Mooney has potential. That’s it right now. You need like five of those guys on both sides of the ball these days. The Bears have never, really for decades, been a team you line up against and fear them putting 40 on you. That has to change.

This is DBBs friend who is in the league as an executive. He has had a few redacted articles over time to get his input…

Ben is about connected as they come so everyone should pay attention here. Good find. Thanks for posting.

No, this isn't me.
This is DaBearsBlog questioning an NFL exec on another team whose name he redacted.
I just did a copy-paste to put the news here.

Dodds would be my #2
Not sure how I feel about Daboll. I am more concerned with GM at this point. A corpse would be a better coach than Nagy.

I think it is extremely important to hire a head coach who can assemble a team of position coaches. Flores does not have a good track record there

Miami, in addition to having a franchise owner who graduated from UM and would probably love to all have the Harbaugh rumors, also has a lot of UF graduates that would love to see Saban out of the SEC.

Not surprised you are a little confused. That poster has a habit of wording things in a way that makes it seem like it's his info. He's just grabbing things off twitter and posting them.

If this was true Bama would fall apart every year in the post season when they play similarly talented teams. Let’s not sit here and act like he doesn’t know his X’s and O’s

I would love to know what Ben thinks the odds are we actually land Harbaugh

I like that Dodd speaks in the third person.
