Bears want to interview McCarthy

[ICP]

Put a bow on his head and send him to Chicago

All this talk about Chicago, and Big Mike, is giving me flashbacks of 1980's SNL Bears skits with Chris Farley (RIP).

Well we will really get to see what direction everyone is headed in after this. If Jerry allows the interview it could be to let him go and ride off into the sunset, or go see how high the demand is, or what he would be offered before he renegotiates, if he even does that. It could pressure Jerry to resign him during the exclusive window as well.

Honestly, I think Mike has a real shot from I'm hearing/reading. The Bears job has a couple of layers of management between GM Poles and Pres Kevin Warren. They both need to get this right coz it could be their last shot at hiring a HC.

 

[jterrell]

Bears are being thorough as they should. As we should as well.

No major issues with that but assuming you interview 1 guy per day they really don't have any need to rush on Mike was all I was pointing to.
I am also not sure I wanna look like a freshman kid out shooting your shot at everyone. If you like everyone that interest sure doesn't feel very special.

long time nfc central guy so makes sense tbh.
back near home and his stomping grounds.
mike would have low expectations as opposed to here where it was win a title or get out.
but again they are interviewing or trying to interview half the league so odds can't be too high just yet.

While some folks are debating the current unnecessary melodrama...

But they can only interview Johnson, Aaron and guys still in playoffs after the divisional round via zoom, so why wouldnt you want to do your homework on someone you can have access to now? The fact he is even being mentioned and considered is what it is , when you have a team that has struggled with coaching and they are trying to find the right coach and jump on it while others like us wait, makes sense. They seem to understand the the urgency at hand and what to make sure they get it right. Who cares about how many shots you take, they need to get it right.

Jerry had the NERVE to get mad because it was even suggested he go talk to the Bears. Man...if I were not a Dallas Cowboy fan I'd be rocking in laughter at this soap opera.

If I am big Mike and the money is good enough I would be saying yes. Ton of cap space, young QB to mold. Lots of good wide outs and a good tight end. Need a good running back and some additional corner backs. He would also get at least a few years to turn it around. Seems like a no trainer to leave.

MM is a fool if does not get the hell outta Dallas.

Mike McCarthy's first priority would be shoring up the offensive line. Caleb Williams was sacked almost 70 times in his rookie season. No Bears head coach will have him to mold if he is David Carr-ed into seeing ghosts after two or three seasons of that kind of punishment.

Agree, but he holds the ball way too long. Half the sacks are on him. That can be coached.

 

[aikemirv]

Yes please

I agree but what is going to change really. Could a one year wonder coach overcome the baffoon that Jerry and Stephen are. I don't
have much hope for that!

I mostly agree but would estimate a fourth of the sacks were Williams' fault from what I observed. Just my personal opinion, though.

you scared me. Every time I see the word fourth, I think Jerry may have traded a future fourth rounder for someone's #6 receiver

I ask for your forgiveness then.

Mike take it. They are a mess too but they have talent.

Jeez, Caleb Williams vs. Dak Prescott - such a tough choice.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Jeez, Caleb Williams vs. Dak Prescott - such a tough choice.

That’s not even the choice….Caleb is bad right now but they have instead of Cooks and Tolbert they have Odunze and Keenan Allen. Instead of Rico they have Swift. No brainer.
