I want something to be excited about with this team going forward besides the prospects for development of the QB which is basically in a holding pattern for the time being. I want to see guys in place who give me optimism for the future of the franchise. I’m not even picky - just give me anyone with visible upside to help max out our QB. Give me a competent, logical hire. I don’t think that’s asking a lot. This is the Bears organization we are talking about. If there is to be ongoing meddling from ownership and Sweaty Teddy Phillips then we can expect more of the same. I really hope Pace gets a chance to hire 'HIS' guy with no influence from any of these two dotards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's exciting knowing that we're going in another direction, but it's terrifying because it's the Bears and Lord only knows how many different ways we can F this up. I'm a bit intrigued by: HC: Pat Shurmur OC: John Defilippo DC: Chuck Pagano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogerthat Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Pace's short list 1 Pete Carmichael Jr fire fox 1/1/2018 hire Carmichael 1/2/2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogerthat Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 what if you hire a Frank Reich and he wants to bring over the eagles scheme including defense and switches the team to a 4-3. I personally feel the bears could go to a 4-3 team on defense easily. plus if you do go 4-3 you have a blue chip FA in Ziggy Ansah and you'll have a top 6 pick to add a DE.

Could be good... could be bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topwop1 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 My wish is that the next head coach to be a former QB (college or NFL level) and who has experience in calling plays on offense. Guys who fit that criteria are: Jim Harbaugh Matt Lafleur Frank Reich John DeFilippo Matt Nagy Josh McDaniels Mike Shula Darrell Bevell Jim Bob Cooter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where does Leonard Floyd fit in a 4-3 defense? He's already on the edge of too small to play OLB in a 3-4, I can't see him putting his hand in the dirt every down as a 4-3 end, so that would put him out of position. I don't see Pace agreeing to bring in a scheme that is going to turn one of his biggest success stories into a failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TankWilliams Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 That being said, I would be ok with Frank Reich as a HC candidate if he's willing to adopt a defensive scheme best suited to our most talented players. Also, would Akiem Hicks become a 3 technique? Our front 7 isn't ideal for a 4-3 currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely they could switch RE - RRH DT - Hicks NT - Goldman LE- Bullard LOLB - Kwiatkowski MLB - Trevathan ROLB - Floyd CB - Fuller CB - Amukamara FS - Jackson SS - Amos Not perfect by any means but it is a pretty good starting point. Need pass rusher as a top priority. Floyd puts his hand in the dirt in nickel, we need depth. IDC the system, I just want production. Floyd was picked after playing a ton of MLB and is being dropped with regularity, so he wasn't put in just as a pass rusher (though I feel that is his best trait and is underutilized).

The Bears align in 4-3 Under when they’re in nickel most of the time anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, I wasnt' envisioning him moving to end, just trying to figure out the roles, though I suppose you are right considering we are in the nickel fairly frequently.

WindyCity Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Personally, I would move heaven and earth to get David Shaw. I think he is the prefect candidate for any job and that he also brings Tomlin level swagger and confidence to the position. He is the only coach I would entertain losing Pace to land.

Shaw is definitely the best candidate out there, IMO. I still am very skeptical he wants to leave stanford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I would fire Ryan Pace to land David Shaw, that is how much I believe in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
