RJ_11 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Finding a way to persuade Donatell to stay and become DC would be my next choice if Fangio goes. Want to try and keep as many of the coaches around as possible but Vic's always going to want to take some of his guys if he goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He clearly would be the #3 football figure in Halas Hall, behind Pace and Nagy. The locker room is far stronger than NYJ and BUF ever were. He wouldn't cause any rifts here. Not banging the table for him by any means, but but far better than anything we had between Rivera and Vic. I think we easily maintain a top 5 defense even if we have to downgrade at NB and SS with any of the former HCs. That would certainly make things interesting. I think a lot of our players are more mature than Rex though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epyon Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I don't know if Rex would work here for a couple reasons: 1. He was the only really outspoken analyst to put Parkey on blast over his missed kick... Honest and true as that may be, I'd have no doubt it rubbed a bunch of the Bears players the wrong way, given how tight knit the team seems to be under Nagy. 2. Rex likes sending the heat with Blitz pressures pretty constantly and that involves leaving the DBs on an island. I don't know that Fuller can swap to a very heavy press-man style coverage without issue, as that's REALLY not his game. Beyond the corners, the scheme itself is fairly different from what the guys have been learning and doing. There may be some significant issues where their instincts are simply wrong for a more aggressive system, because they've been learning to play in a safer one. 3. We don't have enough OLBs to rotate in and send pressure constantly.... This could be overcome with Roquan and Trevethan coming more but still a concern. Those things aside, at the very least, Rex being here would be entertaining as hell... I'm not at all sure it'd be at all the right move, but it certainly wouldn't be boring, and I'd watch the hell out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topwop1 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 If Fangio leaves, I would want Donatell as my first choice due to his familiarity with the scheme, but he's also out of a contract and more likely to follow Vic so in that case my other choice would be Steve Wilks. He's already familiar with the Bears organization having worked here under Lovie here and he also worked under Rivera and Sean McDermott who are both cut from the Andy Reid coaching tree. Would make the most sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G08 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 This is driving me crazy. Latest I've heard on the radio is Bowles hasn't finalized anything and that he and Nagy talk all the time. Take that for whatever it's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G08 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Ian RapoportVerified account @RapSheet 1h1 hour ago More Coaching update: The #Broncos will decide soon between #Bears DC Vic Fangio and #Steelers OL coach Mike Munchak for HC. Sources close to Fangio believe he is well-positioned to get it and he is very interested. Denver is high on him, as well, but hasn’t made a firm decision.

You'd have to think we're a hell of a lot more attractive than Tampa would be. The defense is already built and elite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOGRIESE Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Honestly if we have a change I'd love to get someone more aggressive on that side of the ball. More man coverage and more blitzing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latest I heard is he has not confirmed or signed anything and is waiting to see what his options are. Whether that's true or not, I have no idea. Why Bowles would want to follow Arians to a lesser defensive team is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
