I would absolutely explore it. I wouldn’t give up this years 1st though.

I’d offer the Panthers 2nd this year, and a 1st next year. Cash as well, but not sure George would cough it up.

I’d do the same for McVay as well. My preference would be McVay over Shanny. Hell, maybe Brown stick around as OC.

Hell yea. For 2 2nds I’d do it. I almost made a thread about this yesterday. I doubt Lynch would let him go though.

It would be nothing less than two 1st I suspect.

It’s probably the only way they will find a coach that can succeed here.

If they f#ck up this next hire, it’ll be 3 more years of wasting Williams’ time here and totally screw up the rookie contract window.

I would do it in a hot minute, eight days a week and twice on Sunday. Give him the lease to the Sears tower, or whatever you guys call it now too if you have to.

If the Bears could get Shanahan for even the same deal that Denver got Payton I'd be thrilled with that. I wouldnt even care if SF threw in a third rounder in return like Denver did with the Saints.

That SF team is decimated with injury, they're long in the tooth and they need picks to turn the roster over. We need a real proven offensive HC that has also proven to oversee a potent defense.

We've all seen what Shanahan can pull off at QB with the last pick in the entire draft(Purdy), & Jimmy G. Imagine Shanahan and Williams working together. Shanahan has never had a QB with the raw talent of Caleb Williams and Williams has never had a HC as competent as Shanahan.

No more go-go gadget Head Coaching hires. Make this trade!

Sean McVay benched and traded a first overall pick quarterback and Kyle Shanahan benched and traded a quarterback he gave up three firsts for. I heard this segment, I thought it was very interesting and a bit of reality check to Bearsworld when Mike Florio repeatedly said “Now, for the right coach who believes in Caleb Williams…” as if his stardom were in doubt. Hosts ignored it, but Florio kept saying it.

In order for these guys to want the job they are going to want full control. No DEI mandates from ownership, no GM being overprotective of “his guy” at quarterback, no bullshit. Bears simply won’t give that, its a non-starter.

I feel like it would have to be two firsts and I probably would (mcvay also). First and second absolutely.

No 1st rounder. Need those to hopefully develop superstars that are financially controlled for 5 years. 2nd and up are only 4 years. When Teams are juggling cap space. That extra year is imporant

Would you trade Rome Odunze and Darnell Wright for Kyle Shanahan? If you answer your no you need to get your head checked.

Caleb has almost a 3 to 1 TD to INT ratio as a rookie with a terrible head coach and OC. No one in their right mind is going to give up on him next season. Now if he takes a step back, then yes your point would be valid. Ofcourse they are going to want that control. That goes without saying.

Ok. How about Caleb? Also need OL help and Dlibe help. The Bears trenches are shit rn. An HC can’t fixed that with scheming. You do see the Bears getting manhandled in the lines. wtf.

No, it doesn’t go without saying. George is going to insist that Caleb Williams plays no matter what for at least two more seasons after this one. These coaches like McVay and Shanahan don’t tolerate that shit, they’re not going to take the job.

I would trade every Bears first round pick going back ten years combined for Kyle Shanahan or Sean McVay.

Good luck building a team then. The best OL and DL do come from 1st round. Especially OT.

Yeah man all those picks over the years have really added up to an elite offensive line for the Bears you’re right, how foolish of me to not recognize that.
