The Bears need good coaching and Trubisky to be an actual franchise QB. Getting to the Super Bowl cannot be the benchmark it’s consistently in the playoffs.

For that team getting to the Super Bowl is the bench mark not one and done like they have done half the time, it is the same for the Patriots.

Is he really that good of a coach though? I mean 32-32 overall as a head coach in the NFL over the past 4 seasons isn't exactly anything to be overly excited about but I guess when we've had to endure Fox's 13-32 record the past 3 years this is much better in comparison. Only thing I can say that intrigues me about O'Brien is how he was adapting the HOU offense to Watson's strengths and had him playing very good football earlier in the season. I think they'd be dumb to fire him just because of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it'd be nice, they don't even need guys like Brown and Bell, they just need some play makers and competent starters at the skill positions. I think Bears are set at RB for the next few years with Howard and Cohen. Just need to add some better depth behind them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Howard were to go down we can’t have 170-lb Tarik Cohen toting the rock as our primary ball carrier. To me that means either a mid-round draft pick or a vet signing who’s been a capable starter previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindyCity Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Nagy has had 3.5 games of really good offense. Positive sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think the vote of confidence from Reid and how well he has done since taking over will elevate his stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmike90 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 It's been a pretty great day for a lot of potential candidates... Rams out up 42 on the Seahawks in Seattle Eagles out up 34 on the Giants with a back up QB Saints out up 31 on the Jets KC put up 30 on the Chargers last night.

Chasing the next “McVay” really scares me. LaFleur, Nagy, DeFillipo... they may be good QB guys or playcallers, and that’s an important factor, but can they be good head coaches? I don’t want to see the Bears get a lesser candidate because they were busy trying to imitate what another team (LA/PHI) did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably so, but it’s also naive to assume the best QB coaches/playcallers are automatically the most qualified candidates. I’d hope that all teams in the HC market tread carefully in that regard.
