As I said to Mulley and Hanley this morning on air, to which Mulley reacted surprised, former GB Head Coach Sherman should definitely warrant consideration by the Bears for head coach. In his 6 seasons with GB between 2000 and 2005, he won the North 3 times and made it to the NFC Championship Game twice. Five out of his 6 seasons with the Packers were winning ones and he went 12-4 twice. Besides having coached Favre, he most recently was OC in Miami a year ago, where he was personally responsible for bringing Ryan Tannehill to Miami, who's turned out to be a pretty good quarterback. So he has an eye for QB talent and maybe has some good ideas on what to do with Cutler, if the organization decides to keep him.

If the Bears goal is to win the North, Sherman is the most logical choice. End of story.

He just got fired from his babysitting Ryan Tannehill gig

I'd be OK with that.

No thanks.

Game may have passed him by

Why did Thompson fire Sherman?

Did he just want his own guy as coach and used Sherman's one losing season as the excuse to let him go?

Maybe Rube is onto something after all....

Tannehill had his best season when he finally rid himself of Sherman

he's been out of football too long and his most recent foray didnt go well at all

The real question is why did you call Mully and Hanley?

upon further review, I'd pass. I do want a guy with experience though. The Bears locker room is a complete mess. Need somebody with the ability to quickly ascertain WTF is going on, eliminate the malcontents, and instill some discipline in there.

If I were the new Bears GM, I'd do everything in my power to get rid of Cutler, Marshall, Allen, Bennett, Ratliff, and Williams ASAP.

I understand the Bears had to schedule interviews for head coach with guys on playoff teams.

That is now finished...I do not want to hear anything else about Head Coach until a GM is hired. Then...the only head coaching conversations I want to hear, is that coming from the new GM.

It's simple math. You haven't been to the playoffs in seven of the last eight years, a complete bust. Sherman's record of making the playoffs is 4 out of 6. It's 66% versus 12.5%. You're not going to find any guy out there with a higher playoff making percentage than Sherman of the guys available. On top of that, his percentage of winning the NFC North is 50%. By contrast, Lovie won it 3 out of 9 (33%).

I like the idea of two grudge matches a year between Sherman and McCarthy. It intensifies the rivalry a notch. And I like his quarterback credibility and experience as an OC.

He's got a lot going for him if you give him a fair shot.

I don't think the math is as simple as you suggest given that Sherman inherited a pretty strong roster. That won't be happening for the next Bears coach.

sorry should have been more specific... he was away from the league for 4 seasons while at A&M... he then came back to miami and he couldn't get it done with the QB he groomed in college... hasn't been a NFL head coach since 2005.... just not interested in that

Not too many clips of Sherman as a pro coach on youtube, but here's one where he's talking about the Miami offense and QB Tannehill as OC. Seems like a no-bullshit, intelligent and articulate guy. Shows here he can easily handle the press, unlike Trestman or Lovie.

Yes, Sherman was the GM and head coach and when Thompson came in he took over the GM role. He let him coach for a year and then wanted his guy in.

I remember he fell asleep during a draft or something.

This only strengthens the case for him. He's wore the two big hats, head coach and gm, which the Bears both need. It's a kicker he's got personnel experience.

This is a no brainer pick. Get it done now.

You got this part correct.

No thanks. Of the experienced head coaches, I would prefer Kubiak, Del Rio, or even Shanny over Sherman.

Sherman was an awful gm. He had the cap completely fucked up so bad that they had to bring TT in to fix it. He was also a pushover player coach that wasted some of Brett's prime because he let him run his own program. Brett had a great year when mm came in and actually coached him up. There is a reason Sherman was let go. He did defend chad Clifton When sapp cheapshotted the fuck out of him. That was kind of cool to see him go after sapp on the field.

Records of your choices for head coach.

Del Rio - 68W - 71L (48%)
Kubiak 61W - 64L (49%)
Shanahan 170W - 138L (55%)

Sherman has them all beat, 57W - 39L (59%). And he did it in the Black and Blue league, yes.

DR is stuck in some kind of time trap. he might suggest they hire barry switzer at some point.

He never made the NFC Championship game as the HC and the North was pretty bad back then. Of the recycled guys id rather have Shanny or Rex. He has done nothing outstanding. He inherited a perennial contender, maintained, then had an awful season.

Mike Sherman's resume remains unimpressive and there is not logic to hiring any head coach until the GM is figured out. Otherwise, we'll be back to the stupid Emery / Lovie scenario. GM and Head Coach need to be tied together with the GM being hired first. Period.
