Depends on the coach candidate. If it's a "holy shit I can't believe we might actually get this guy" coach, you gotta weigh that decision heavily.

@SearTower Dan's report is clearly just recycling old news. At the time, Harbaugh's agent was trying to generate Bears interest against the Chargers for the benefit of his contract. So he told someone Harbaugh was still interested in the Bears hence the offseason reports of Harbaugh wanting to come ...

I would lean more on what Biggs knows than what McNiel is speculating.

He's head coach of the UFL's Memphis Showboats. He had his moment, and apparently it passed in a big way.

Still not buying it. Seems hard to believe if we paid him aggressively that he wouldn't come back to a charter franchise, one of the largest media cities in the world, a franshise he played for, that held the #1 overall pick and was getting Caleb Williams. It just doesn't pass a common sense test, ...

Bears get a honeymoon win for Thomas Brown in what may or may not be an illusion.

Bears 28
49ers 26

Jaylon Johnson on The Score this evening has been about what I expected. He didn't elaborate on the details nor get very verbose on the situation presently. Basically he said losing is unacceptable and he "doesn't give a damn" about anything else when it comes to the next coach - winning i...

Some of my observations from the presser: The audio for this press conference is horrible, very soft and poor quality. Microphones aren't angled correctly. C'mon, guys. Poles is giving off a vibe of being pissed off and embarrassed, which I appreciate I guess. Big endorsement of Poles from Warren, s...

I consolidated the Thomas Brown threads, so apologies if that was a misfire.

I think the Score is generally in a good place. Marshall Harris is level-headed and has a bright future. Spiegel is coming into his own, honestly in spite of Laurence Holmes, who IMO should either be back in evenings or even overnights as a solo host. Spiegs will miss Parkins badly but he’s taken of...

670 the SCORE is just all doom and gloom. Dan Bernstein is in his element with all of this negativity surrounding the Bears right now. They're not giving any credit to Thomas Brown, or what he's doing. Not giving him any credit at all. I don’t think Dan is long for the station. I think he’ll say SO...

The zoom fiasco is overblown externally, but there are concerns that McCaskey and Warren will need to express internally during HC interviews to assure them it was an aberration. Dan Bernstein is acting like it was the worst thing to ever happen within the Bears. I'm not sure if I can listen to him...

Kap's just pissy that they aren't getting an exclusive. He can kiss my ass. And I'm glad Poles and Warren will speak before Brown, because Brown shouldn't be the one answering the questions about the firing process. Poles and Warren close the Eberflus chapter, and Brown gets the latter press confer...

I think Poles merits another 2 seasons of evaluation, personally.

With a new coach next season, is Teven Jenkins the type of player who can play in any scheme? If Teven Jenkins' body wasn't capable of giving you 3 quarters a game, he'd be welcome in any scheme. Jenkins is awesome when healthy, but he seems doomed to battle injury for the duration of his NFL caree...

Would you give me a more detailed set of reasons why you endorse Shanahan so full-throatedly? I'm not trying to antagonize, just curious what your thoughts are since you've backed him quite a bit of late. I think his system is tailor made for Williams. IMO this would be similar to Andy Ried leaving...

So what if Warren and Poles knew Flus was gone prior to the presser? What if they are actually cold blooded and sent Flus out as a final F U to him? Flus is a very likeable guy, but a terrible head coach. His in-game decisions cost the Bears too many Ws over the last two years, he had to go. Nah. G...

Has anyone bothered to think that Eberflus started his weekly Zoom Meeting thinking he was safe from being fired, being it had never happened before in 105 years. It is not like it was a Media Room event and had to be scheduled and setup. I have online meetings that are every Monday and Thursday at...

Thomas "Lightyear" Brown has a nice ring to it! Well there is quite a Buzz around him. (I'll get my coat...) https://media0.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExaG9kOTg4bnFnNnM3MGN5dWg0aGpqbmx5MHBwNXV6dmhjMHZzYmlkciZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/YF0O6HJTPiOVlykpN9/giphy.webp

Thomas Brown's radio hit with Kap & Company at 8:20am today was cancelled in lieu of Kevin Warren and Ryan Poles meeting with the media later today at 11:45am. Curious how the media will spin this, but I look at it as leadership wanting to get in front of the media and speak to/answer questions...

Has Master Ryan Bates been written off? Is he kept around for depth? He's an example of why GM's like to double down on particular areas, like Dexter and Pickens in the previous draft. How many guys on the roster do you need that will only give you 6-8 starts a year? I get the idea of never having ...

I think in this situation you have to pick two, as all three boxes being checked indicates those coaches aren't getting traded.

The fact that people are actively poo-pooing the thought of Kyle Shanahan as the Bears HC tells me that we do not actually know what an NFL HC is supposed to be as a fan base. Would I trade for him? Probably not, because It's a risky proposition. But would I hire him if he was let go? I'd make Thom...

Bill Belichick - No thanks Jon Gruden - Absolutely not Ben Johnson - I'm interested Kliff Kingsbury - Pass Mike Vrabel - I could be convinced Joe Brady - I'm not sold Bobby Slowik - Eh...maybe Liam Coen - I like him If Shanahan or Sefanski come available, they both shoot to the top of my list as 1 ...

Merging similar threads to consolidate general Thomas Brown discussion.

Not sure how accurate this is but one blogger is reporting that the Bears are willing to forego their usual characteristics for a HC and go for a guy who is a proven winner: https://www.sportsmockery.com/chicago-bears/new-info-on-chicago-bears-coaching-search-reveals-an-unexpected-shift/ So maybe t...
