AZ54 Posted January 17, 2024 Report Share Posted January 17, 2024 Should be this weekend for the announcement or very early next week. HC interviews are ongoing and some will be settled by next week. It’s obvious the Bears want their pick of the OC litter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they beat GB, he is hired. If they lose to GB, the Bears go in a different direction, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinger226 Posted January 18, 2024 Report Share Posted January 18, 2024 Have they fulfilled the Rooney rules yet? That will clue you in if they are done yet with the job hunt? If someone impressed them, they can stop at anytime, if they wait for a specific coach, then it will take some more time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand right - whoever they hire as OC, they didnt hire the others, even if they liked them too. This time of year you never know what anything means. Not until theyre signed anyway.

adam Posted January 18, 2024 Report Share Posted January 18, 2024 My updated preference list: 1. Shane Waldron 2. Klint Kubiak — Tier Break — 3. Zac Robinson (McVay experience, former QB) 4. Kliff Kingsbury (move him to top tier if drafting Caleb) 5. Thomas Brown (OC experience, former RB) — Tier Break — 6. Marcus Brady (OC experience, former QB) 7. Liam Coen (former QB) 8. Greg Roman (move him to 2nd tier if keeping Fields) 9. Greg Olson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DABEARSDABOMB Posted January 19, 2024 Report Share Posted January 19, 2024 I am kind of excited by the OC process so far. Really Olsen and Roman (if you draft a new qb) are the only two candidates I don’t want as OC. But I am good with Olsen / Roman as qb coach and run game coordinator. I ripped Kingsbury as HC forever but the concept and idea of him as an OC is really growing on me. And if nothing else / they should get some good intel on Caleb, but more importantly he has done a lot of innovative things on offense, has tons of experience calling plays, has had at least some success creating successful nfl offenses (yes he also was HC for some epic Eagle like end of season collapses). He also just spent a year with an offensive guru in Lincoln Riley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DABEARSDABOMB Posted January 19, 2024 Report Share Posted January 19, 2024 Also just hit me - Kliff coached Mahomes in college and I recall Patrick was very high on Kingsbury helping him become the qb he is. I think Kliff is moving way up my list. At least I think Kliff/Patrick worked together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
