I don't think he's going to take forever... I hope not, anyway. Part of the challenge is just logistics. Like free agents the first meeting is almost the most important. I am sure there have been years where teams have missed on coaches because they can't get their guy in during the window. Imagine if DeFilippo spends his bye week in Indy and Tampa, could eliminate the Bears before they have a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he had 3 interviews lined up, he could go to them all that week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t remember who it was. These guys will make sure they interview for any job they want. There are only so many jobs and so many chances to be that “hot” candidate. Take Nagy for instance - if he doesn’t get a gig this year and next year KC’s offense woefully underwhelms in 2018 he may have missed his window to get a job all together.

Is he taking about McDaniels/Harbaugh/Cooter, or all of the OC/QB guys we’ve been hearing about recently? It's Chicago. The usual crew: Harbaugh Gruden Cowher Singletary Only one has any reason to even be looked at as a HC, but Chucky, Chin, and the Samurai will be all around the outlets as "possible candidates." You know Gruden loved Trubisky... and Sanchez... and Tebow... and all but maybe 2-3 QBs since the 1980s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both sides are feeling it, and all of a sudden you are standing at the back of the school dance with the dudes talking about Magic Cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even after McVay's first interview with the Rams, where he crushed it, he still went out and interviewed with another team before coming back for his second.

He did not have a time restriction on him. Some of these guys are going to be going back to work and are not really taking a full week for the bye week. I do not think that either NE guy took an interview during the bye week. The 49ers took a huge risk waiting on Shannahan and ended up with a trash staff this season.

I don't think it's smart to interview just one candidate and offer him the job (Rooney Rule not withstanding). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bye Week If Defilippo is our #1 guy we ensure that we are #1 on his dance card, take up his time and make sure he knows what we offer before he ends up somewhere else. Shurmur Patricia, if we can fit it in. Week 1 Nagy Lafleur 2nd Interviews We could be in a position to do a 2nd interview with guys by the 12th and offer by the 2nd weekend of the playoffs. That would get us into the assistant coaching market nice and early and give maximum time for staff building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindyCity Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Monday: Fire Fox Tuesday: Logistics and Interview Requests Wednesday: Hopefully the travel works out Thursday: Interview Day Friday: Interview Day Saturday: Interview Day Sunday: Most coaches who are on bye week are probably back home at this point. The bye week is really 3-4 interview days if you are lucky and the travel and scheduling works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabriel also was talking about how the year that Jauron was fired, the entire building knew it was going to happen so they jump started researching candidates by talking to their former players/coaches etc while the season was still ongoing. A lot of vetting done behind the scenes. It sounds like Pace knew he wanted to draft a QB after the Eagles game last year and thus started his secrecy in scouting Trubisky. Could he be doing the same thing right now? My money says yes. It'll be nice once this is all over with so we can start really digging into these coaches, their schemes, and then see how our roster fits what they might plan for us.

WindyCity Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 The timing is also why I would fire John Fox on Tuesday after the Browns game and I have an interview set up with my #1 target on Monday or Tuesday of the 1st playoff week. If Nagy is my guy I would be in Kansas City on Monday the 1st or Tuesday the 2nd, whichever the Chiefs have off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure that the background stuff will be done. I would want to have my #1 guy in as soon as possible as to not lose the chance to interview him 1st. If Nagy is your guy and you do not interview him on black Monday or Tuesday you may not talk to him for 3 weeks and then goodbye assistants.

Do we have to wait for them to be eliminated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
