Well, he does get credit for thinking his own thoughts, however wrong they may be.

I would have to agree with mully. Emery should have vision of what he wants and a clear plan to execute that vision. Interviewing 20 candidates is ridiculous. Giving Singeltary a courtesy interview is a fucking joke as well. It appears as if he is window shopping for a HC. Know what you want and go get it.

Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

I figured basic probability would have ensured compliance with that rule given the number of candidates already.

Why wouldn't a Bears fan want Emery to exhaust all options in searching for a coach?

_________________

I wonder if the Bears are allowing anyone interested to take a phone interview. IE, anyone who wants to "apply" gets some time.

The American Idol audition approach to hiring a new HC brought to you by Simon Emery.

Well to be fair, this is how it works in the non-sports real world.

Are you suggesting that singletary is an option?

Agreed

Doesn't matter if he gets who he wants. Waste of breathe until he makes a decision.

No.

But the idea that Emery should have had his mind made up going in is silly.

_________________

Agree that getting who you want is most important, just don't understand why singletary is getting a look.

@danpompei: Add Dave Toub to the list of candidates who have interviewed for Bears HC.

Because that worked out so well for the Browns/Eagles. But they will still end up with "the guy they wanted all along!"

Who knows.

But I guess that shoots Bernsie's "Phil Emery has complete control" theory to shit.

Don't you think this approach couch put them in the danger zone of being swayed by a guy who interviews better than he coaches. When you have a smaller list of candidates that all have the basic things you are looking for they are much easier to compare. As you widen the field you have a ton more philosophies and differences making them much harder to compare and then you can fall victim to whomever is the best salesman.

I know what you mean, but I would rather they interview a lot of people instead of going after one guy and maybe missing out on the next big thing.

Doesn't mean he doesn't. It's smart to do things your bosses want. Could be as simple as a favor. Saying no could establish his power, but it could also create an unnecessary rift.

No no no, I was 100% agreeing with you. Going in with your mind made up is a silly notion, IMO. I would rather the Bears do what they are doing, than publicly swing and miss like the Eagles/Browns.

for entry level positions, not for executive positions

Yeah, I just would rather be comprehensive.

Not that I have faith that Emery will know who to pick.

Maybe he is just jerking everyone around and picking their brains while he waits for Seattle to be finished with their season so he can hire Bevell. He seems to run a well balanced offense, has spent a great deal of time working in the division and also worked very well with a QB who had some of the same shortcomings as Jay. Don't get Jay another guy who is going to hold his hand or who held his hand in the past....get someone that has experience working with an mvp caliber gunslinger with questionable mechanics.

Hub says a lot of dumb shit but I liked his point on the Bears coaching search. While they are interviewing a lot of candidates they aren't interviewing all the best candidates. Mike Zimmer, Ray Horton, Vic Fangio and any other defensive assistants have all been ignored. The job is for head coach not offensive coordinator.

Maybe they aren't interested. Or maybe they have been interviewed and we don't know.
