Jim Caldwell just screams John Fox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmike90 Posted January 24, 2022 Author Share Posted January 24, 2022 Aaron Wilson @AaronWilson_NFL 21m Jacksonville Jaguars expected to meet with Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich for second interview on Tuesday, according to a league source Moves starting to fall into place IMO...I reckon Leftwich gets that job.

I don't think it will be Caldwell...I reckon he is a distant 3rd on the list...would love them to have some sort of conversation about joining the staff though.

Madmike90 Posted January 24, 2022 Author Share Posted January 24, 2022 Hard to see a connection to any of these three with Omar Khan or Ryan Poles...obvious one is Brown to Eberflus... Will be very interesting to find out how those GM interviews went today...especially Brown's who I suspect will be the other finalist.

Madmike90 Posted January 24, 2022 Author Share Posted January 24, 2022 DaBearsBlog @dabearsblog 7m Remember, those three second interviews are specifically requested by the 5-person committee. A new GM will likely add to that list. (But Ryan Poles is very pro-Quinn.) This is very interesting if true...wonder where that link is?

Madmike90 Posted January 24, 2022 Author Share Posted January 24, 2022 Aaron Leming @AaronLemingNFL 2m What I've basically come to terms with is that I'm very likely going to love the GM hire, while simultaneously strongly disliking their HC hire (unless it's Eberflus). It is what it is at this point. #Bears Unless Brown somehow completely blows the interview I still don't see how it won't be him and Eberflus.

No. But he’s wowed in his interviews at multiple locations. He’s coming prepared with what’s reportedly a killer staff. And he’s got brilliant answers to the “what will you do differently this time around” questions. Again very interesting if true...I think Quinn got a bit of a raw deal in Atlanta...that said he also benefited greatly from having Kyle Shanahan and when he left the whole thing started to fall apart...would love to know who all these guys could bring with them.

Hearing Hackett to Broncos so Quinn may be a legit candidate for us which would be fine by me because he has good offense coach connections Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is a good coach and should have won a SB with Atlanta if not for Shanahan fumbling the offensive play calling in the 2nd half of that game And like I mentioned he has ties to a lot of talented offensive minds both in NFL and college I'd feel much more comfortable with him vs a first timer like Eberflus if we go with a defensive mind at HC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we just need to go with the guy we feel gives us the best chance of long term success on both sides of the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmike90 Posted January 24, 2022 Author Share Posted January 24, 2022 Assuming Morocco Brown is the 2nd GM finalist it looks like it would either be Brown & Eberflus or Poles & Quinn...I would be happy with either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreee but again a head coach is just as good as the staff and support he has around him. I think with any of these finalists it'll be just as important who they plan to bring with them I reckon Quinn will have a much easier time assembling a solid staff vs a first time guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmike90 Posted January 24, 2022 Author Share Posted January 24, 2022 Another thing I would point out league wide...Brian Flores seems to have disappeared from these HC conversations...would be interesting to hear how he is putting people off so much.

I'd rather have Poles and Quinn. I imagine Poles gets the first chance tomorrow to lock down the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
