CBears019 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 It’s gonna be brought up eventually so I’ll throw the name out there now - Jim Harbaugh. He’s either in his last year or second to last year of his contract at Michigan. Michigan is off to a rough start this year. will he actually leave UM? Will the bears be willing to pay his asking price? What other teams would be interested in him? I think it’s a stretch that he’d come here, but I still think it’s worth keeping his name in the back of your head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big name and probably better than the previous guy, but if you take a step back it's a blah move Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take him over Nagy even if that means we have to keep Pace. He built a winning team in SF that actually had an offense that was functional. I think he knows a thing or two more than Nagy does about how to be a head coach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindyCity Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Joe Brady Greg Roman Brian Daboll Those would be my big 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(assuming of course he doesn't just hand the offensive reigns to his OC)..... I feel like we'd be a pretty unattractive target to him for that same reason, however. Our offensive line is laughably bad, and it's hard to have a ton of faith in Montgomery right now, even if it's pretty arguable that the OL is by far his biggest problem. We simply don't have the players or the draft picks to run the offense he typically runs until year 3. I will say, however...... That a Roman offense would likely be the best bet for Lance in particular, but potentially also Fields under center, given their running ability.

That's the big question to me, and I don't see it. That being said he had one of the most physically imposing rosters I've ever seen when he played, had some seriously good staffs, and he elevated Kaep to look like a real starting QB. Granted a number of those stud players like Willis, Bowman, Smith, Iupati, etc were there before he got there. But still he added to it. Still a no for me. 3 minutes ago, Epyon said: I will say, however......

As a cheaper alternative Jamie Newman might be available in the late 2nd and then King is likely available in the 6th round as a back up if he wants to take the Bears 1st and trade back to garner more OL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they need to have a variance or two from each one, especially if they have consistent calls. Get them to overplay the normal one and bootleg back to the left or a double move for example. Shouldn't be that hard if they've mastered certain plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was unique and the element of surprise gave the offense the advantage. Solid system as a one off but, as I've said all offseason, it's not sustainable (as we've seen). It may work in college to some degree but not in the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
41st ward Chicagoian Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Watching Wisconsin destroy Michigan right now. It’s pretty safe to say. Jim Harbaugh is going to be available. Personally I’ve always like Jim Harbaugh. From his days of Ditka grabbing him by the face mask and yelling at him on the sideline to his days with the 49ers. I liked him as a player and a coach. I think he did a great job with the 49ers. He elevated Alex Smith’s game and he almost won a super bowl with Kapernick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harbaugh is ok, but I'm not sure he is as good as he appeared. They had some absolute studs on defense and OL, a lot before he got there. That being said his offenses scored the 11th most 3 years in a row and 25th one year. I'm just not sure he could elevate a bad offense, he clearly can't in college, and Nagy proved from his stint as playcaller in KC that anyone can succeed with elite talent. He seems like a Lovie level guy. If the team is good he will produce but there is still a low floor you better be ready to hit. I say swing for the fences. Give me Joe Brady as HC and Joe Horitz or Ed Dodds. Borgonzi scares me because I think he would want Bieniemy, who I really don't want. Riddick is an interesting choice as a GM as well.

It may work in college to some degree but not in the NFL. It is predicated on a very good OL and they have struggled with injury. They are still 8th in the league with 28.5 ppg. That would take Nagy 2 games to score. Edited November 15, 2020 by WindyCity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
