For real? First of all, the HC in GB calls plays, meaning the OC is just eye candy. And we all know Rodgers runs thing anyways, we all saw how Love sucks when he started.

So any right-thinking person is going to stay the hell away from GB when looking for OCs. There's nothing there. So not only do the Bears go to GB, they go looking two levels below the irrelevant, non-play calling OC. Is this serious?

And Harbaugh interviewed with a division rival last night

Do you think Harbaugh is pressuring Michigan for a raise? Would you pay him $100 million over 10 seasons and give full control?

In a heartbeat

You must be kidding.

I'm going to withhold judgment on this until it becomes clear whether or not Harbaugh is using the Vikings as a negotiating ploy with Michigan.

Of course you would.

It's not your money.

And if he signs in MN, that isn't the McCaskey's money Bob.

Try harder.

I tend to agree, but they're going to point to the Gruden debacle and say "Why would we do that?"

Yeah it's not about McCaskey money. Harbaugh isn't a guy you give total control for a decade to. He's a raging lunatic who wears out his welcome in 3-4 years.

Well so is Caller Bob, so they make a good pairing.

The Bears have tried the GM-Coach collaboration for 16 years and it hasn't worked. Why not try a power coach like Harbaugh (he would pick his GM) and see if that works? It could blow up or the Bears could be in a SuperBowl in three years. Actually both could happen..oh i forget being a fan isn't about cheering on win and losses, its cheering for the fiscal health of our ownership team.

And the Gruden debacle wasn't a debacle until his email came out, so that is a bad comp

The Vikings haven't won a Super Bowl in over 60 years as a franchise. Why wouldn't you roll the dice on Harbaugh if you thought it gave you any chance? It's like the Cubs with Maddon. How things ended with Maddon wasn't as predictable as a Harbaugh exit would be, but the Cubs did get a World Series out of it.

That said, the Vikings aren't hiring Harbaugh. I could see him end up with Miami or staying in MI.

They underachieved every year, Gruden never developed a quarterback that he liked and they sucked drafting. Other than that, everything was okay.

Jim Harbaugh has been a head coach in an NFL playoff game more recently than Jon Gruden has. Hang up on yourself.

Better yet, you hang yourself

This isn’t entirely true. He didn’t wear out his welcome at Stanford and hasn’t worn out his welcome at Michigan either -it’s getting tiresome pointing out to people that what happened in San Fran wasn’t his fault completely. The owner and GM were fucking things up and it became a problem for Harbaugh and he left, it’s not the other way around. All of this has come out and been available to go back and read about.. not to mention everything blowing completely the fuck up between ownership and the GM after Jim was gone sending that franchise into a tailspin.


Is Harbaugh a personality? Yes, he is. Does that rub some people the wrong way? I’m sure it does to some extent. But his players love him, his coaching staff loves him too. I think he’s fine as a coach but he does have a vision for what he wants to do and he does have a bold personality that isn’t for everyone, but I doubt he’s a problem and he certainly isn’t a fraud -he’s literally had success every single place he’s been.

This guy gets it

I’m 1 foot in 1 foot out with this one too. Being the coach of Aaron Rodgers has to be the easiest job in the NFL. I personally think the Packers team basically is Rodgers and they’re in trouble without him.


But, I don’t know much about the GM or Eberflus either so I’m kind of at the ‘wait and see’ stage tbh. I’m hoping for the best, but there’s troubling things here with all this too if we’re looking at it in the immediate sense.. changing from a 3-4 back to a 4-3 for example.


Anyway, there’s no sense in panicking just yet. We have to let them get in games and see how it all looks.


Btw, had Getsy been confirmed yet..? Sources I’m seeing don’t seem to have confirmation yet, just that he’s been offered the gig

I’ll be honest tho.. a 10 year guaranteed contract would give me pause.. not the money, the team blows 10million a year on bullshit players as is, but 10 years is a long time to lock into. 5-6 years I’d do, 10 I’d have to think about.

Yeah, there isn't a coach in the NFL that I would give a 10 year guaranteed contract to today. A decade ago I would have given one to Belicheck, but that's it. It would be absolutely insane to guarantee that many years to anyone. Especially someone who has NEVER won anything in his life.

Sounds like the Bears are getting most if not all of the Colts defensive staff as the Colts want to do a complete re-boot on that side of the ball.

The Bears are getting everyone they want so far. They're winning the offseason so far.

Now this is very interesting. I kind of wonder if Ballard and Reich gave sterling recommendations to Eberflus because he really is great, because they wanted to get rid of him, or some combination thereof.

Eberflus was told he had to adjust his defensive scheme last season because opposing offenses were completing 71% of their passes against the Colts. To his credit, Eberflus made the change, but he apparently only did so due to Ballard's intervention. This sounds like the kind of defensive coach who is a candidate to be fired--that is, unless another team swoops in to "steal" him first.

Time will tell. There are both positive and deeply troubling aspects of the GM/HC searches.
