Hackett went from OC who didn't call plays to HC and Getsy went from QB Coach and Passing Game Coordinator to OC.

Luke Getsy is the OC

Nice hire

I know there was some consideration for Quinn or Caldwell because they were veteran coaches compared to Nagy, but looking at Eberflus, he has been coaching since Nagy was 16. Here is just their NFL coaching experience: Nagy (5 yrs as Coach or Coordinator) KC QB Coach 13-15 KC OC 16-17 Eberflus (13 yrs as Coach or Coordinator) CLE LB Coach 09-10 DAL LB Coach 11-15 DAL LB Coach 16-17 IND DC 18-21 Eberflus has over double the amount of overall time and double the amount of years as a Coordinator. Even though he is a first time HC, Eberflus is way more experienced at coaching than Nagy even is today.

He ignored Mitch and didn't do exit interviews, which is a league wide standard. ARob didn't talk with Nagy from the Saints playoff loss until JULY! How is that possible?

Apparently, Pace avoided conflict at all costs. So he would never intervene with things like this. Nagy seems to be an idiot who was overwhelmed as a HC. That is now abundantly clear. How did he not have end-of-season interviews with his players, especially someone like ARob, in his situation, coming off the year he had? ARob had 1250 rec yds and 102 receptions when the leading QB only had 2055 passing yards who was coming up on free agency. Unbelievable. You are right, the Mitch story now seems true, and I bet more stories will come out over time. It really is unbelievable. Eberflus and Poles are the polar opposites of Nagy and Pace. I have way more faith in them to get it right than I did for Pace and Nagy. To me it was evident after the 2019 season. They road Fangio's defense and once he left they got exposed as frauds. They may get another job in the NFL with one of their buddies but I don't see them ever getting a job at the same level again.

Hearing Sanjay Lal, the Jags WR Coach is interviewing for the OC position. There are a lot of reports that he did not get along with Urban Meyer and was one of the coaches that got a lot of flak from Meyer. Don't know what to make of it but the Jags were a mess. Trying to get some history on him, Jags WR Coach in 2021, Seattle Senior Off Asst in 2020, Cowboys WR Coach from 2018-2019, Colts WR Coach in 2017, Bills WR Coach from 15-16, Jets WR Coach from 12-14, and Raiders WR Coach from 09-11 and Off Quality from 07-08. So 7 different teams in 12 years. Doesn't look like a promising resume. Trying to find the connection to Eberflus or Poles, but I don't see any. Jags leading WR this year was Marvin Jones, and 2nd was Laviska Shenault. In 2019, he had Cooper and Gallup (both over 1100 yds). In 2018, no WR had more than 725 yds. TY Hilton in 2017 with 966 yds. In 2016, the leading WR was Robert Woods with 613 yds. In 2015 Watkins had 1047 yds. In 2014, Decker had 904 yds. In 2013, Kerley led the team with 523 yds. In 2012, Kerley had 827 yds. In 2011, Heyward-Bey had 975 yds. In 2010, Louis Murphy had 609 yds. In 2009, Murphy had 521 yds. That is his resume. So in 12 yrs as a WRs coach, he has produced 3 1K yard seasons and has coached in 7 seasons where no WR had more than 850 yds. Robert Woods didn't do much in BUF, then went to LAR and became a top receiver. This hire scares me, this guy doesn't even have the resume to be a good WR coach. For some reason most of the teams he was on were terrible.

Hearing that Dave Borgonzi is a great LBs Coach. Can you imagine Roquan getting better? Holy crap. If the Bears do go more traditional 4-3, they are going to need some Will and Sam LBs.

Also, Poles is coming from KC who is now in their 7th straight playoff appearance, 4th straight AFC Championship game and with a win would be in their 3rd straight Super Bowl. I want personnel from that front office, they are clearly doing something right. I hope Poles brings in others from that staff.

Goldman and Jackson, lol, with the number of "loafs" they would get, they would call them bakers.

Possiby Bill Callahan as O-Line Coach: After OC, O-Line Coach may be the next most important hire.

Whoa, if this is even partially true: Talk about a shitshow.

Once Schoen went to NY, it was pretty obvious where Daboll would land. With the Giants situation, we will now see who got it right (Schoen/Daboll in NYG) or (Poles/Eberflus in CHI).

I wanted Daboll, but there may be a separation for how much a HC can do for a QB when he is managing the entire team compared to him as an OC only worrying about the offense. With Eberflus, the OC and the QB Coach are going to be the important hires for sure.

Added the confirmed in bold, some interviews/candidates non-bold

Hamilton per Kap.

For Getsy

CBs coach James Rowe and LBs coach Dave Borgonzi are on board.

That would be a stacked coaching staff, wow. I would be highly impressed. On a side note, please get rid of Furrey.

Also Pep Hamilton.

Also potentially Rich Bisaccia as ST Coordinator/Coach.

I am hearing Luke Getsy from GB is a possible OC option.

Looks like he started quite a few games. Here is the snap count % of the O-Line UFAs from KC and IND: Orlando Brown, LT - 94.4% of snaps Andrew Wylie, LG - 44.1% of snaps Eric Fisher, LT - 78.5% of snaps Mark Glowinksi, RG - 75.9% of snaps Chris Reed, LG - 46.9% of snaps

It is going to be interesting. Poles and Eberflus are better off than Pace and Fox was. The team is better postured for the future, even with a few of the older guys. My thought is they use Mack and Quinn one more year in the 4-3, then look to move them next year, unless an offer comes up that you can't refuse. It would depend on what Poles would use the cap space on or how much dead money they would incur with a trade.

A little bit of both. I have a feeling we are going to have a pretty solid staff. Not guys like Helfrich or Lazor. I really hope Furrey is gone. WR's outside of Mooney have been a disappointment and extremely undisciplined (Miller, Wims, etc).
