I see you are going to die on the Sean Desai hill. Keeping around the guy that led the #22 ranked defense with player meltdowns and sniping and multiple late game chokes would be move #1 to assured continuation of the current "Bears Way."

There is no hill. I noted that Hoge, Jahns and Fishbain all referenced Desai in their HC articles. Not my fault he is apparently well regarded despite your hate. It is like you are upset that people think highly of him,

From The Athletic (Jahns and Fishbain)

Sean Desai, defensive coordinator, Bears​

While the Bears might want to make a full change and go with someone outside the building, it would be worth it for McCaskey to interview Desai for a few reasons. No one on staff knows the franchise’s arc in the post-Lovie Smith era better than Desai, who has been with the Bears since 2013. Desai has worked his way up from quality control coach to safeties coach to defensive coordinator, working for three head coaches — a rarity in today’s NFL. This season, while the Bears defense didn’t take the ball away at a high enough rate and had a few notable lapses in losses to the Rams, Buccaneers, Steelers and Ravens, it held up well overall, leading the league in sacks per pass attempt and finishing tied for 12th in yards per play allowed. Desai’s unit finished the season strong after losing several starters due to injury and COVID-19. Brandon Staley went from position coach in Chicago to one year as a coordinator in L.A. to a respected head coach. With that in mind, McCaskey may want to see what the Bears already have in Desai.


And from Adam Hoge

Sean Desai, 38​

Desai’s rise from a quality control coach on the Bears’ staff has been impressive and he’s done very little to warrant criticism as a first-time defensive coordinator this season. Is he ready to be a head coach? The Bears would know better than anyone else. I could see Desai getting an interview and it would be justified. Ultimately, keeping him as the defensive coordinator, as Nagy did with Fangio in 2018, would be the big victory.

Belichick washed out of Cleveland as a head coach. There's a lot of factors that go into whether a guy can hack it in a given situation. Desai handed the job under a terrible HC in Nagy with only one NFL cornerback on the roster, and overpaid safety in Jackson, star players injured throughout the season (Hicks and Mack) and one coming back from a year off looking like half the player he used to be (Goldman) shouldn't necessarily disqualify the guy from being a quality coach.

No I just use my eye. The defense was just a different form of bad this season They were 14th and 11th in 2021 under Pagano in PPG and YPG. They were 22nd and 6th this season. They were undisciplined, and repeatedly shit down their leg late in games.
And LOL at noting those three as plugged in press with HC incite, Fishbain is Erik Lambert just 3 yrs older and better at hiding his blog post reading as sources. They have no more clue as to who the Bears will be looking at as a HC candidate. Desai would do one thing as a HC interview, fulfill the Rooney Rule requirement , nothing more.

I don't hate the guy, I just recognize he is nothing more than slightly below average at his job.

  • The decision to fire Ryan Pace was far more complicated and took FAR longer. Some highlights:
    • The Bears, through back channels, used a series of consultants to evaluate the whole of their football operation. Bill Polian was involved. Tony Dungy was involved. In the early stages of that process, the recommendation was veering towards only replacing Pace if they could land an
    • established GM. But at the conclusion of the process, the formal recommendation was for the Bears to move on.
    • Ozzie Newsome was approached about a formal role in the organization. He chose to remain retired.
    • The Bears put out feelers to both Kevin Colbert and John Schneider, gauging potential availability and interest. (I honestly don’t know the outcomes of those feelers, but Colbert is retiring from the Steelers after this coming draft.)
    • The Bears have been pretty definitively firing Pace for a few weeks. But it became “official” last Wednesday.
    • Polian helped compile a list of a dozen GM candidates and those meetings will begin immediately. I do not know what his involvement will be in the coming weeks.

Missed this. Some really interesting stuff that people need to take a lot more seriously now considering he nailed Pace & Nagy being fired while all the Bears beat guys were on the fence about Pace
