Ian heavily connects Ben Johnson to Vegas, doesnt he mention him for the Bears

I'm starting to believe the earlier reports that Marcus Freeman was one if not the top choices at head coach before he signed his extension at Notre dame the bears still want to talk to him as a Notre dame fan I want him to stay but I understand why the bears want him the top 2 teams I love the most want the same coach man WTF Just get Ben Johnson and leave Coach freeman alone

Yes he is a top 3 college coach I personally believe he is the best since Notre Dame has academic restrictions and can't get most of the five star recruits because of that.

Seems like the players love him. Their coach left to LSU and the team got excited when he was announced as HC. Plus he's in the national championship game. Other then that I don't know anything about him.

Honestly, I'm work as head-hunter, and to me this is a fukking dumb way to conduct a search. It actually suggests to me that they don't really know what they want and are hoping that either one candidate elevates themself in the first round whatever their background, or that the team is hoping that the interviews with a vast range of coaches will help them define the type / profile of coach that they want.

In some instances the above way of looking for a hire is fine, but it does not strike me as a great idea for a NFL team. Just seems unfocused & unstructured, and a shot in the dark.

Why can't we do this sensibly?!

Chargers interviewed like 20 people before Harbaugh, teams do this all the time. You can't even hire anyone still in the playoffs.

It's not the number of people that gives me the shyts about it. There seems to be no consistent profile of candidate - it's literally a mix bag of all sorts. It's fine to have an outlier who you want to have as part of your process, but we have O / D / young / old / NFL HC experience / no NFL HC experience / someone in a front office job i(n Shaw) who hasn't been coaching for a couple of years or so. I could add more to this, but you'd hopefully get what I'm saying and I'm not butchering what I'm trying to write.

It appears to be literally all over the shop. Maybe Poles et al have a much better idea of the profile of candidate that they see as the right fit, and maybe there are reasons for the really diverse range of profiles that they're looking at, but it doesn't seem that way.

Being from the UK I don't probably see as much of what every team does, so if this is 'normal' then that's my lack of knowledge and my bad for the comment, but damn, I wouldn't ever suggest to my clients that I run a search for them like this.

Yeah - I know about the playoff stuff, but you can still meet with coordinator who are still in the offs, can't you? Presuming the candidate is amenable, that is. You don't need to officially hire the person, as per rules, but you can come to some sort of agreement just short of inking a contract if you met the right one, I'd think.

Again, apologies if I'm missing that this is pretty standard and that I'm talking out of my ass!!

And packer fans on the Coli wanna call Caleb a bust this niqqa got a great oline,great run game and a great play caller and
He is borderline without playaction or RPO
