The Case for John DeFilippo

[Zion]

He is very selective, similar to DeCosta and these guys with street creds want no part of a backwards organization where they would have to answer to a dweeb like Ted Phillips. I'm telling you for a fact that Ted Phillips is a major turn off to the top GM and HC candidates

Maybe thats true, but many organizations around the league have these little problems. You think any HC or GM wants to answer to Jerry Jones or Daniel Snyder? There's only 32 of these jobs in the world and none of these situations are gonna be perfect. Bears job has some downsides, some upsides that go long with it like any of these jobs do. I think its attractive to big ego guys like McDaniels precisely because it's the Bears, a historic franchise which hasn't won in a long time. It's a very Cubs-esque situation here these days. You win here and you're a legend forever.

I hear you. All would be okay if they removed Ted Phillips. The top guys who have turned the Bears down are okay with the McCaskey's and they want to report directly to them. But the McCaskey's refuse to move off of Teddy and like to keep him around as a buffer. There are plenty of candidates who will take the job but what keeps it from being the best job and why guys like McDaniels will turn us down is because of Phillips.

The same thing was said about Josh McDaniels when he was a young guy hired as head coach and some others. He could turn into Jon Gruden or John Shoop. The bears better do their homework. Im more sold on a more mature McDaniels at this point.

I would be happier with a candidate who has head coaching experience. Let's not put some one in charge of our team who has never been a headcoach before and has to "learn the job". We found that out with Coach Trestman.

LOL, what? By that line of thinking, we saw how a coach with experience just worked out with Coach Fox.

Age =/ maturity

Maturity is the last thing you hire McDaniels for

Listening to this guy talk shop, is he already a more competent offensive mind than anyone who’s ever worked for the Bears?

Our new coach, Sneakerboy!!!!! Pace make it happen

Here is Flippy with his newest sneakers

Is Flippy old enough to legally drink?

He's all about hats and sneakers-------wow!. Give him a cookie and some Legos and he is all set. Nothing in this video talks about his vision

This guy will be terrible

Happypants is right of course. Wouldn't want some foo foo HC I bet the sissy posts pictures of young male models on the internet like some creepy old pedophile edobear:

Word. Flipper blows and will make a shitty coach

 

[r1terrell23]

He actually reminds me of former Bulls coach Tom Thibs. He seems to be very detailed and thorough, and players will love his personable attitude. He is one of the guys and go hard at it like they do. I have no doubts that he'd be a good coach from a leadership and X's and O's standpoint.

That is a really cool comparison actually. I see that.

 

[greg23]

This is the guy to hire as head coach.

Trying to team him as oc with another hc will just lead to him becoming a hc in 1-2 years......make the move now!

Answered that in another thread, shit for brains

McDaniels has the offensive mind to make Trubisky and the Bears better. I like the idea much better with a full power GM in place.

It really depends on McD's ability to handle the locker room.

This selection has me nervous.

I don’t see any sure fire candidates right now. A lot of people here seem to be very hard for Defilippo, but in his time in the NFL he has spent 5 years as a QB coach, 1 year as offensive quality control, and only 1 year as an OC. This scares me as well.

Just say no to Flippy

Baldinger was on 670 AM today. He works in Philly so he's got a good pulse on DeFilippo as well as Shurmur. Listen here:

Interesting comments here. Sounds like DeFillipo has a real presence about him.
