Seacrest desperately trying to bait a Tebow argument out of the board. For shame! This isn't 2011.

Shame is all you really do here.

Try selling something else here this year.

How good can he be? This seems like an odd question. He’s an unknown as a HC. He can be one of the best coaches in the league for all we know.

Saying he will suck is just the default position for a fan base that has had their dick kicked in for the last decade. We don't know how to be positive anymore. I'm on board. He cant be worse than Trestman or Fox.

None of those picks were used on Tebow.

Let’s assume that one of them was.

We could have hired RFDC and this would be true.

Why are you mad at Bears fans that are skeptical?

Well, the greatest football coach in history was bad at his first job so let's never talk about anything in the future about coaches.

I'm just wondering why Caller Bob was upset that Bears fans like me are skeptical of hiring a guy with little to no resume from an organization that has been the worst good team in the league.

They’re the “worst good team in the league”(I guess, not even sure of that) because their QB is limited and their defense is never dominant enough to overcome those limitations like those Ravens teams did. And Andy Reid is a horrendous game day coach. I wouldn’t necessarily attribute that flaw to someone working under him. We’ll see this year.

Ok, now we're getting crazy in this thread. I would rather the Bears have kept John Fox or promote Dowell Loggains than hire RFDC as coach.

He has worked his whole career for Andy Reid. I think it's fair to think that Reid will be a major influence on him.

Of course.

Reid’s specific problems are clock and game management. I think it’s easier to copy the Mon-Sat stuff from Reid and develop your own style of clock and game management.

If he’s a carbon copy of Andy Reid then I guess we all know it’s a good but not great hire.

That's the big concern with a guy who has literally never worked for another coach. I think it's more of a concern with him over others who have been working under many different coaches and can rely on that knowledge.

I don’t think it’s a concern, let alone a big concern. Very few coaches are good game day coaches. I don’t think a case can really be made that it’s more of a concern for Nagy than Defillipo or McDaniels.

FF makes a good point. What coaches are good on gameday? Belichick. I'm struggling to come up with another name.

"He's bad at challenges and clock management" is sort of the Universal Coach Lament of the NFL fan. The NHL version is "he shuffles linemates and doesn't play the kids." It's just something to say instead of silence.

_________________

Part if that is just because we all grew up playing Madden. Its insane to me that professional coaches will let 8 seconds tick off the clock before they call time out.

_________________

Seems like we are on the path of "coaching doesn't matter" expect of course John Fox was bad.

Coaching matters more in the NFL than any other sport by a mile. That’s a bad takeaway from what I said.

Gameday coaching doesn't matter much I guess.

What have we seen from Harbaugh that makes him good on gsme day?

Did I hallucinate it or did someone on the board today say that anyone who played Madden as a kid would be better at clock management than coaches who didn't?

Maybe. I stole that from Simmons though

He’s specifically very competitive against the Patriots, especially relative to the rest of the league. Flacco is one of the worst QBs in the league and has been for awhile but he still gets very good results. I don’t often see them make mistakes or egregious fuck ups in close games, and they play a lot of them.

I don’t watch them all the time though. He could be awful and I don’t realize it. Just the first name that came to mind outside of Belichick.

The Bears won a total of 29 games the last 3 years Lovie was here. They haven't won that many games in 5 years. Everyone has a right to question the Bears decisions.

Doesn't Madden run the clocks down to :20 on the play clock after you choose a play? If it's in the game, it's in the game!

Most kids sucked at Madden iirc.
