TankWilliams Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Among the three offensive people mentioned, I would definitely rate them (from an outside point of view, of course): 1. Defilippo 2. Shurmur 3. McDaniels While I'm less ecstatic about flip than a lot of folks here, I do think he's definitely a talented coach, I'm just leary of his lack of experience. Shurmur has done great things, but also has had some years where I recall fans of his team were calling for his firing. McDaniels may have changed his attitude and fixed the reasons for his past failures, but honestly I would much rather let another team figure that out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronMike84 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 So at this point, we're at: DeFilippo McDaniels Shurmur Wilks If I'm understanding the rules correctly, the first three guys have to be interview this week (assuming they accept the invites), and Wilks can't be interviewed until after the Wild Card round. So other guys who may potentially be targeted but would fall into that "next week" group would be: Toub Nagy Carmichael LaFleur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronMike84 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Also, casual fans are all about Dave Toub. I've seen his name come up on Twitter a bunch, and I had The Score on for only ten minutes this evening and all of the callers and both of the hosts were talking about how he's the top candidate. After Pace's presser today, I don't know how accurate that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he said without saying it is that they are pinning EVERYTHING to Mitch being great, which implies a relative certainty that the next coach will be an offensive guy. Could end up being the same guy, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronMike84 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Peter King (Twitter) notes that two NFL teams had interest in Jim Harbaugh, but he won’t be leaving Michigan. This aligns with a Hub Arkush radio spot back in November, where he said something along the lines of Michigan being Harbaugh’s dream job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pdogg Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I’m sure I’ll be in the minority but I want nothing to do with Taub we aren’t in a position to take that sort of risk and unless you have experience coaching the qb position no need to apply.

I'm in the same boat. I want Toub to get his chances, but I want a system to develop Truin here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmike90 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Interesting point made on NFL.com where they were looking at the perfect fits for each franchise...listed both Wilkes and DeFilippo for us with Wilkes as HC then DeFilippo as OC stating that he is a FA as soon as the Eagles are eliminated...what if they are getting the jump on making a run at him to be OC?...personally I don't like it as he could be one and some like Gase but it would be an interesting win now strategy from Pace.

He was one of the best position coaches in the NFL for a long term and they slapped on the assistant HC tag to stop guys coming in for him as a coordinator...very energetic and aggressive...real leader of men and comes with a proven defensive scheme...if we didn't have a 23 year old QB he would be high on my list but it has to be all about the QB spot and finding someone to develop Trubisky long term.

I don't care for it. That just means Tru learns another system this year, then likely a new one in 2019. Flip, Nagy, Shurmur, McDaniels, etc, I just want whoever can bring intelligence, adaptability, and consistency to the offense while developing Trubisky. If we had a pretty finished vet QB though, I would love Wilks. I hope he stays out of the NFC North. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronMike84 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Great stuff from Michael Lombardi in the 11am hour on Spiegel and Parkins. Some noteworthy items: Michael noted that Ted Phillips is the Team President, so of course he will be involved in some fashion because of his title. He thinks the Bears job is an easier job than the Giants because of the culture and the Lions because they finished 9-7. He said McDaniels probably would like a situation similar to Shanahan in SF. He said Shanahan runs the show and Lynch works for him. There was a lot of talk about message, how the message should be consistent from both the GM and head coach, and how the head coach should be the spokesperson with the GM in the background. Check out this segment once it’s posted. It was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmike90 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Rap is reporting that James Bettcher is getting an interview for the HC gig in AZ...well deserved but as some have pointed out it may not be the most attractive gig right now with Palmer & Fitz looking like they will retire...Johnson coming back from an injury and an agining win now roster might work well for us if we really do what DeFilippo who is apparently highly rated by AZ GM Steve Kirm.
