What? This makes no sense. Chip Kelly would be the most exciting head coach hire in the history of the Bears franchise.

McCaskeys can't pony up that NIKE money the way Oregon can.

Emery should be done interviewing all his candidates by 2015. Seems he wants to interview all offensive coordinators or QB coaches who interacting with Jay Cutler within the past 10 years.

It's not the McCaskey way. Just look who they've hired in past - all assistants who were not flavor of the month hot commodities. And don't forget the McGinnis incident for perspective. That's why I expect a Carmicheel or Trestman or some other little-wanted reject along those lines.

Mike McCoy cancelled his interview with the Bills earlier today. I hope that means that his interview with the Bears went well.

The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.

I dunno, isn't the big thing for college coaches now having a HC get his assistants top $? Isn't that why Bielama left? Maybe the Bears will pay for the HC but would cheap out on assistants and that's an issue. I'm not saying that's the case, but it may be a thing.

Add 2 more names to #Bears interview list for Phil Emery: #Vikings assistants Mike Singletary and special teams coach Mike Priefer.

Nick Saban anyone???

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

No thanks.

Why not?

Because he's 60.

And a penus.

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.

Chicago Bears general manager Phil Emery is looking in many places to find the next head coach of the Bears, including in his own back yard.

Among the candidates who have interviewed for the position is Bears special teams coach Dave Toub, a source said.

Toub has been a head-coaching candidate in the past. He interviewed with the Dolphins for their vacancy last year.

He is the fourth special teams coach who is a known candidate. The others are Keith Armstrong of the Falcons, Joe DeCamillis of the Cowboys and Mike Priefer of the Vikings.

Coaches with an offensive background who have interviewed or are scheduled to interview include Bruce Arians of the Colts, Darrell Bevell of the Seahawks, Pete Carmichael of the Saints, Tom Clements of the Packers, Rick Dennison of the Texans, Mike McCoy of the Broncos, Mike Sullivan of the Bucs and Marc Trestman of the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League.

Additionally, former Bears great and Vikings assistant head coach Mike Singletary is scheduled to interview.

The Bears interview roster is now up to 13, according to the Tribune's Dan Pompei:



Still no word on whether Emery has met with or plans to meet with college coaches such as Saban and Muschamp, both of whom have been mentioned as potential candidates for the Bears' vacancy.

Clements? Arians?

Saban had his shot at the NFL and failed. He seems like the perfect guy to remain a college coach.

FOR THE RECORD: Scorehead wanted the Bears to hire Singletary when he was with the 49ers.

Scorehead is an excellent judge of character and ability.

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

Pete Carroll still seems like a perfect college coach, but he's done well with a 2nd NFL chance.

Guys, I think it's safe to say Pete Carroll bolted USC at just the right time. He's 3 wins away from a Super Bowl title for Seattle, believe it or not.

I have been only able to listen a bit but is it confirmed they talked to Singletary about the HC position? Is it possible they are lining him up to be DC for another HC? Not that it is any better. Just wondering.
