Vic Fangio News

[TL1961]

I mean, it's possible he was just like "I'm waiting for the AZ job", but that is completely up in the air

I think this bodes well for the Bears keeping him, but it is not a sure thing. I don't understand people acting like there are no other jobs. There would be a lot of uncertainty, and I would think he would not want to wait, but Indy and NY are going to be hiring head coaches. And NE may very well need a new DC.

Possible, but if I’m Fangio I’m rolling with the younger unit that I have been developing the last two years. AZ getting old on that side of the ball... or he could just want to say F*** Off to the Bears for not making him the HC.

Agreed. Of all the situations, this is probably the best for Fangio.

Fangio is the second highest paid DC in the NFL, and the Bears want him to stay.

He would have to decide whether to stay in the midwest, and whether to go with a new HC with no experience. (None of which ar terrible options, IMO)

But to think his decision would be based on Kyle Fuller? What?

Besides, is he going to sign a new contract based on the fact the Bears will offer Fuller, without knowing if he'll stay?

I just don't see logic in this. Fangio may have (should have) an opinion on Fuller, but I can't see how Fuller has anything to do with the decision.

Not the sole reason but could be a factor, along with more pay, more autonomy...

If you have Bears management eating out of your hand why not see if you can have them push to keep one of your best performers last season?

Pure speculation on my part, but I’m hoping that a bargaining chip to keep Fangio was Pace/Nagy promising to get something done with Fuller. Wouldn’t that be great.

More like Pace promised to get another pass rusher opposite Floyd. Because McKnee, Ahchoo, Houston we have a problem,and the Fisherman should be playing in the all geriatric league.

Could be both. Who know how much they were willing to throw in to sweeten the deal.

If he is offered the chance to stay in his job, and refuses, he is leaving the job. Don't get technical when you know exactly what was meant.

The way the post was worded suggested he was being stupid for leaving a good job. That is why I said he isn't leaving a good job. He is weighing several jobs because more than one team is interested in him allegedly. There is nothing stupid about that which was the focus of my post.

Well, there is pride and then there is stupid. I don't think most people would leave a good job solely based on that for an unknown.

Excellent. Um. If confirmed by more sources.

 

[westcoast bear fanatic]

Great news. Now get the man a couple LB's and the defense will roll.

Which is why that position should be the #8 pick in the draft.

Nice win for the Bears and Nagy. Nfc North is going to lit the next few years, should be a lot of fun to watch.

Fangio was the first candidate the Bears interviewed for the head coach position last Wednesday. It wasn’t known how Fangio would react to not being selected, but as defensive coordinator positions fill around the league — Gus Bradley re-signed with the Chargers on Tueseday night, according to the NFL Network — the Bears might be Fangio’s most attractive option.

I honestly feel like it will be the biggest need after they add a couple WR's in FA.

 

[Newblood]

Now all we need is a creditable report.

 

[Rise]

Damn this just won’t end!

Yep, and either OL, WR with the 2nd or 3rd pick however the draft plays out.
