I still believe Shurmur has the ability to get a team somewhere. At least a playoff team if he can actually go somewhere is a little bit of talent where he can call the plays and actually run the offense. He had nothing in St. Louis, nothing in Cleveland, didn't do any of the playcalling in Philly until Chip left, and that was the best the offense looked all year and still wasn't his scheme or playbook. His first year he took the Vikings offense from nothing, to a top 10 offense with a 3rd string QB and back-up level runningbacks. What he really will always need tho is a solid defense behind his gameplan and scheme, without it, teams won't ever win. I agree with you on that. This is WAR!!!

10Gawd Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Watching Sportscenter last night, they had Louis Riddick and a couple others on to rank the job openings. They had the bears 6/6 in list of most attractive destinations. Which led me to think. Are we just delusional or does the vast majority of the national media just not know anything about the bears? Well... they went on to say that the bears "had a couple of guys to build around on defense" and then proceeded to name Prince Amukamara and DT59 and that was it. No mention of Floyd..Goldman..Hicks, Fuller. It was an absolutely pathetic segment. Like I said. It made me wonder whether we are somewhat delusional and overrate the job or the fact that national media just doesn't know much regarding the team. I think it's the latter.

Mainstream media has long been lazy with their Bears narratives. That said, it’s up to the team to change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindyCity Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 This interview schedule is looking weird Thu-Edwards Fri-Shurmur Fri-McDaniels Sat-DeFilippo They haven’t actually formallung requested an interview with Wilkes. Snowstorm on the East Coast will make it interesting. Not sure how you do an interview in Min and Boston on the same day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should know better than to list Amukamara and Trevethan as the only two standouts on the Bears defense. Lazy is right. Bears never get any respect.

Plus with other teams interested in the services of these coaches sometimes you gotta just take what you can get as far as scheduling goes.

Riddick didn’t get to speak about the bears in time. I was hoping he did. It was actually Josina Anderson that said that. I was hoping Riddick got to speak about the job because he’s actually been a big fan of Trubisky throughout everything, but the segment ended before he got to speak on it.

I would expect to see Nagy and Wilkes on Monday...I also expect this to be the 6 guys we interview...probably 3 for a 2nd interview and an announcement by the end of next week.

I highly doubt we would wait on someone that long...if it got to the stage of wanting a 2nd interview with a guy I would expect that franchise to honour that.

WindyCity Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 David Kaplan Here is a great piece of intel: Source close to Matt Nagy tells @ESPN1000 that Nagy loved Trubisky in 2017 NFL Draft and the Chiefs loved him. Nagy has stayed close to him during this season. Nagy believes you can win big with Trubisky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WindyCity Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 The Andy Ried coaching tree gives me the tingles. This is his 2001 staff Inspired by @olin_kreutz, the 2001 #Eagles Coaching Staff: Andy Reid (HC) Brad Childress (QB) Pat Shurmur (TE) Jim Johnson (DC) Ron Rivera (LB) Steve Spagnuolo (DB) Leslie Frazier (DB) Sean McDermott (ASST.) John Harbaugh (ST) Dave Toub (ST) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigsooie5 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Something that's a little concerning, McDaniels was seen as the leading candidate for the 49ers job when he abruptly withdrew his name from consideration the week of the AFC Championship game. If we were to wait on him and all the other candidates sign elsewhere, then McD withdraws himself, it would leave us up a creek. It was reported on Jan 18, more than 2 weeks before the SB, that Dan Quinn had agreed in principle with ATL to be their HC. So it's certainly possible something like that can happen whether it's McDaniels or Shurmur. This process should be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
