🏈 NFL Official 2021 Chicago Bears Thread - Once again a Bust

[Flyn]

Ed Dodds has withdrawn his name 3 times in 3 years. Is he a bit flakey or just very picky?

Bears have requested a 2nd interview with Eberflus.

 

[Flyn]

Hmmm.

Maybe he sees the clown show this organization is and doesn't want to be a part of it

 

[Flyn]

That's one explanation. Doesn't explain 3 withdrawals in 3 years, though. Maybe he's just happy where he is and doesn't want to risk moving up unless it's perfect for him?

No, thinking it may be because of the McCaskey and Phillips

 

[Flyn]

Could be. No way to tell unless Dodds opens up in an interview.

I look at Buffalo who has been the Bears but in a smaller market. They have sucked for decades and, suddenly, are a top contender. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut occasionally.

 

[FESTER665]

Hmmm.

Made it 20 seconds in and couldn’t take his voice.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

The Bears have been a clown show for quite some time now.

 

[Flyn]

I agree on the voice. So much Chicago in his accent. When I first saw his videos, I thought he was faking it but that appears to be how he sounds.

 

[Fish]

Hmmm.

Makes you think that the media was in on it as well, and if these clowns sat on these reports for years, are we supposed to take what they report in the future with any merit?

Did Pace and Nagy have THAT much power over the situation?

1985 and 2006 are the two squirrel nuts

IMO, reporters love their Halas Hall access and don't want to rock the boat.

Best thing they could happen for Chicago football is for local media and the fans to the team.

The reporters during the press conference were pretty ballsy and made McCaskey uncomfortable to the point that he should his true awkwardly weird, while Phillips became more forward with his presence

Hoge predicts Bears have a new GM by Monday.

 

[Flyn]

It's being reported that Eberflus sister is married to a McCaskey.

Seahawks have requested permission to interview Sean Desai for DC.

EDIT: Different McCaskey and not related.

44-19-1 NFL record. SB appearance. Took a 6-10 team >< this close to the SB his first year. He's reportedly a jerk.

Name that coach.

Why haven't the Bears interviewed him?

There are reports in the local media saying they have talked to Jim, but those reports haven’t been verified.
Chgo media is saying the Bears better not let the Raiders steal him from us

Even if they did talk with that coach it doesn’t matter.

 

[Flyn]

I am SO tired of all the speculation in the media now. C'mon Bears. Make a decision, already. Don't interview 50 guys and then miss out on the best. Already lost Schoen to N.Y. Giants.

Now you want McCaskey and Phillips to rush a piss poor decision.

Well, rip the bandaid off approach will at least gives folks something to talk about.

 

[Flyn]

I don't want a poor decision. I want a decision before the best GMs are gone. How long do the Bears need to interview? They keep adding guys to the process who are poor choices and will never be selected. Makes me think Bears management is lost in space and has no idea who to choose.

Poor ownership / leadership = poor decisions

 

[Flyn]

Can't argue with that. Hopefully, Bill Polian is the main voice since he's the only guy on the selection committee with real football smarts.

 

[Flyn]

Bill Polian on choosing players.
