ibt734 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 He has the best D in the league. Does anyone think he wants to deal with the crap that comes with being a HC? He's a 60 YO man. He has helped form a D that can be top three for at least the next four years. Why would he want to go somewhere to fix some other team's problems? I think he loves where he is and where the team is at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G08 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Why would he leave? Accomplish a life-long dream, I would think. I'd hate to see him go, absolutely hate it, but I'd be happy for him. Either we'd elevate Donatell or hire a recently fired HC to fill the position (Bowles is on the hot seat, etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dll2000 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Nobody wants D coaches to be HCs right now. You get a good OC and he is next hot HC candidate and you are changing offenses all the time. If you don’t have a good OC that is bad too. Much easier to start over on defense than offense.

No one is going to hire a 60 year old DC to be their HC now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though I don't prefer the 3-4, I hope you're right, and think you probably are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did interview for the 49ers job after Harbaugh, so at some point he was at least partially interested in being a head coach. Now, that was several years ago, so who's to say now. In the absence of the "hot" head coaching candidate this year, I could certainly see him getting some looks, but I really don't love his chances of landing a job if he does in fact interview, so I don't think you guys have too much to worry about.

He interviewed for the Bears HC job this offseason before Nagy was hired as well. I don't recall him getting any other HC interviews in the past couple years, but i feel like we blocked him from some DC interviews a couple times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same, I won't blame him or begrudge him in any way if he would leave, there is a level of prestige and obvious pay that he would get that he has never had. It has to be a bit of a kick in the *** to see all these guys with 1/3 the credentials getting shots but you haven't after having a hell of a track record. If he did I would like to see Ed Donatell get his chance at DC if we are looking in-house. His work with the DBs has been fantastic, Wilks is seriously on the hotseat and we have the talent to run a 3-4 or 4-3 (nickel will be the base anyway), Bowles is as well (and I love his versatility/aggressiveness as a DC). Vance Joseph has Cutler-level hate from AZ right now too, and he is a predominantly 3-4 guy, so he could step in and obviously did well with what he had in MIA. My replacement ranking - 1 -Bowles 2- Wilks 3- Donatell 4- Joseph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about young ones specifically, but I do have a list of guys that might be overlooked commonly. Other than our own DB coach Donatell Kris Richard has some DC experience but was just hired on by DAL as a DB coach, so I doubt they let him go. Perry Fewell has been DC, interim head coach, and was a DB coach under Lovie for a bit Tomsula has never been an NFL DC but has HC experience and has years under VIc Bears fan favorite Singletary could walk away from the Memphis Express HC job to get back to serious football. He took a break and seems to want to get back at it. I personally don't know if this would be a good or bad idea as he is a legend in Chicago, and meathead fans might turn on Nagy for him if a bad season pops up.

WindyCity Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 He may be at an age where he is no longer as interested. He makes pretty close to first time head coach money right now. I have heard he makes between 3-4 million and is the highest paid DC in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindyCity Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 My guess is if Fangio leaves, Todd Bowles is announced as DC shortly after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
