Why Interview So Many Candidates?

[KittiesKorner]

You need to take a time out, your litter box is full and it is clouding your judgment.

you need to get off this board.

you need to get off this board.

My first post in this thread was on topic. You are the one that decided to make it personal.
Maybe YOU should get a life?

It's like a kid being at 31 Flavors ice cream for the first time.

Suppose that they are targeting one from Johnson, Kingsbury, Brady and Monken (not my list, but just as an example), and yet there are more than four open HC positions. They could each choose to go elsewhere and you are stuck high and dry.

How would you identify the best option among the rest but to interview them all?

problem is, it may have cost you Vrabel and Ben Johnson as well

Great point. The argument can go either way but given their history of picking head coaches it does not inpire confidence that they know what they are doing. I have been a Bears fan since the Gale Sayers years and I am tired of all the hype. Shut up and do your talking on the field. The head coach speculation gives the Bears a lot of free publicity. The win against the Packers made them drop a couple of slots in the draft. At first I was mad but then realized it probably doesn't make a difference because they have not shown any improvement with their high draft picks in recent years.

Vrabel wasnt coming here.

He's also meh to me.

I think that is all gossip.

Are these interviews or screenings? I’m guessing there will be a follow up with a few candidates then a decision will be made.

I have not read the entire thread yet, but I am starting to wonder if there are so many candidates because Poles had the guys he wanted to interview and then Warren had a different list. So, rather than come to an agreement on which ones they would interview, they are doing both lists.

Which goes back to the fundamental question of: Is Poles really in charge anymore?

It certainly muddies the water to any prospective HC on what the actual front office structure is and who is really the head of football operations.

I think it's safe to say, if the search goes on to the 20th of January, Ben Johnson is the number one target

it very well may be, which is why I said may have cost them

Cant even interview him jan 20th unless the lions lose saturday

If they want ben johnson they will likely have to wait till at minimum the 27th, cause I dont see the lions losing to the cummanders at home.

Its why the candidates arent that big of a deal, not sure what else they are supposed to do those 2 weeks, especially if ben johnson decides he wants the raiders, jaguars or to remain in detroit.

20th, 27th, my point still stands

We’ll see if the mods think bringing up Kamala is just ‘personal’. You’re another fucking geriatric ‘Tard who seems to be going off your levodopa based on your diatribes in this thread.

Change your diaper, gramps!

Don't wear one...but I'll let you know when the time comes. Thanks for the concern. Oh..btw...when it comes to name calling, let me just say.."Physician heal thyself"......you'll be happier, if that's possible in your case. Thanks again for your concern on my health care.

Yeah, I hear you.

I think that if someone were to hold this process against the org, that it would reveal a character flaw or a sense of entitlement that does not belong in competitive sports. It would seem a petty response to me, but I am also just reading into this as someone who has been through several rounds of interviews to climb the ladder.

 

[Raskolnikov]

Yes, they don’t know what they are doing.

Correct.

They started this on the last search when they knew all along who they wanted.

If they hire Flores then this was all for one purpose...

A fact finding mission. Like espionage, they are making a file on opponents and potential opponents.

They might be the first franchise to cross the line into deeply unethical here. I mentioned this a couple weeks ago, it's ridiculous.

If I was a requested I would tell them to call me back if I'm top 5.

I don't have an issue with the number of interviewees as some of them (Ron Rivera specifically) are probably just some favors. I do have a problem with the number of interviewers. You're not hiring a software engineer. My guess in 2025 is that any coach - white, black, or Ron Rivera - have spent a better part of their lives in locker rooms with white people, black people, Hispanic people, Christian's, Jews, Muslims, Republicans, Democrats, ***, straight, married, divorced, etc, etc, etc. My guess is if you have a problem with any group of people you've been weeded out a long time ago. So the HR lady, and Tanesha Wade need not be present.

My interview panel would have been:
Poles
Cunningham
Caleb Williams
Jaylon Johnson
Patrick Scales

Knowing what we know about how da Bears operate...I would tell them.."unless I'm your guy, don't bother"......don't want to play the 'pick your brain game'....go waste other people's time. I wouldn't be this blunt about it, but you know what I'm saying.

Each interview is a chance for another free meal for Poles.

Exactly
