DABEARSDABOMB Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Reports are he, along with Dawson are interviewing today. Adam Jahns indicating that one source suggests that Ernie Accorsi's top recommendation is Gaine. I think a lot of what is being reported is pure crap. This is someone saying oh hey, Ernie worked with Bill Parcells, he clearly would want a Parcells guy. Adam Jahns @adamjahns 15m15 minutes ago League source suggests that Brian Gaine could be Ernie Accorsi's top recommendation for #Bears, especially with Parcells connections.

Alaskan Grizzly Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 What? Who is this guy? I'm finally settling on a guy like Ballard and they introduce another person? My hope and guess is to murky the water a bit for potential suitors to Ballard or to Ballard himself. To make him a little more open to negotiations when he comes in for his interview.

Pixote Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 I think they will, and should IMO, go with Ballard. Maybe they want to interview a few before Ballard to better position themselves. So I agree with your assessment. I hope that is the case. From what I have read of Brian Gaine I am not overly impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DABEARSDABOMB Posted January 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 His (Gaine) background isn't all that impressive to me. I don't really like much about the Dolphins organization and that is where he spent the past 6 years. I also tend to think most everyone out of the Belliceck tree has failed on their own, which is another negative to me. Clearly the Bears are going to do their diligence and I like the fact that we are meeting with roughly 4-5 guys (and keeping the list small). I presume after Wednesday with Ballard, they will regroup and finalize (if they don't just flat out decide on Wednesday to give it to Ballard). Even though they might be set on a guy, still helpful to bring others in. Not to mention, during the interviews, you get some free insight into other intelligent peoples view of the organization and its players and ideas, which can only be helpful. I'm so glad that the Bears appear to be moving very swiftly and with a clear vision, which really is the opposite of how we have handled many searches in the past (whether HC / GM / Assistant searches). Pix, I'm with you, I'm 100% on board with Ballard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DABEARSDABOMB Posted January 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 On a sidenote, one of the reasons he was believed to be fired by Miami was due to the # of poor character guys the Dolphins brought in during that tenure (not necessarily 100% on him). I really am not a fan. I think if I were to look at anyone outside of Ballard, it would be Ross of the Giants (and Gamble who is now available from the Eagles). But for me my 1/2 is Ballard / Ross and there really isn't anyone very close to either of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
