Meh. I'm sure he'll be good. Just not believing he would be "wow" good. High winning percentage and high amount of 10+ win seasons. Everything I'm hearing from the talking heads indicates he's a perfect fit based on the following: 

  • Demands accountability in the locker room while still being an easy guy to get a long with
  • Players love him
  • Works well with QB's and helping them understand the right reads pre-snap (i.e. get ball out quick)
  • Plays nice with ownership

It seems like he is the safe pick for Poles. Personally, I prefer to go the unknown route with someone like Ben Johnson and hope you have the next McVeigh. That's if Johnson wanted the job.

He has a better deal in South Bend; even signing an extension through the 2030 season....I would doubt that he even interviews.

I heard a brief clip of him talking about the NFL on someone's podcast (possibly RG3). He didn't sound like someone interested in the NFL. Mentioned he only spent 1 year in that world and what he knows is College ball. I'm assuming money will never be an issue at Notre Dame, but you never know when a coach will grow tired of NIL + Portal + Recruiting and decide to embrace the challenge of the NFL.

McCarthy I get, would welcome him

I caution all the noise out there with media folks who are trying to get clicks and views and all that.   

Like its breaking news that the bears are going to dinner with a HC candidate.......WOWSERS.  smh.    if that is "RED CARPET" then double wowsers.....

 

I thought this was a good listen:   below:   fast forward to the end if you want to hear CW thoughts on what he wants in a HC.

After yesterday's debacle I just don't care anymore.   You would think that most of the players wouldn't just lie down like that against the 49'ers, especially when most of them got their way with Eberflus's firing.  

No, they will end up with a 4-13 record. The only solace I can take is that the Colt's in Manning's first season were 3-13, and then they started to take off from there.  Let's hope for the same for young Mr. Williams.

Too funny. The more that is coming out in stories from when the Bears were evaluating him and now that he's in Chicago it just solidifed he was not the cancer people thought he was. He's just a goofy guy who loves football and connects well with people. 

BINGO

Everyone just needs to relax. It's 3 games. The clear broken part of the team is the OL and they're holding back the offense. Poles should deservedly take heat for not fixing the line if they season progresses as it's currently going. But, like @Coach Nowlin pointed out, maybe the focus all along was to get the high end offensive talent in while it was available and fix the OL for next year with picks / FA pickups.

If they can get over this problem of playing down to their competition, which IMHO they did against the Raiders,  Ravens (without Jackson), and the Giants.
