Ok back to Brown. Now that he is the interim HC then I think here is how he can best make his case for HC next year.
1. He continues to develop Caleb and the offense continues to look competent particularly as they face the Pack, Vikes and Lions a 2nd time. If he can adjust to the adjustments teams will make as they have more film on him then that will be key.
2. How does Wash respond? If Wash looks good calling plays and is comfortable being Brown's DC then that goes a long way? Why? Because one of the biggest question marks Brown will have is who can he assemble as coaches. That question gets answered easily if Wash has the D playing well and Brown can just rely on him to be DC next year because the team looks good on both sides of the ball.
3. How is his game management? All coaches **** this up but can her minimize the **** ups so they arent as egregious. Does he like his mentor McVay push for a Game Management coordinator?
4. How do the D players respond to him? Do they respect and rally around him like the O players seem to have done.
5. What is his plan for the O next year. He is running Waldron's offense. What plan does he lay out regarding what changes he wants to make in the offseason and what sort of players would he be looking to add or move on from.
6. How does his relationship with Poles, Warren, McCasky develop. Does he win them over and prove to them he just has that aura or presence to lead a team.
7. How do the fans and media respond to him. Does the honeymoon continue because the Bears look motivated, competent and win some games or does he turn into a pumpkin.
