According to Jason La Confora (take it for what it’s worth), Belichick is supposedly interested in coaching the Bears. Personally, I’d take a pass, but it’s a very oddly specific rumor. The only way I’d even entertain the possibility is if McDaniels came back as his OC and he didn’t insist on personnel responsibilities.
Personally, I want an offensive minded head coach from the Shanahan tree. I won’t be impressed by a defensive hire, barring something crazy happening like Buffalo cutting McDermott loose. Hiring a defensive guy in his 70s just doesn’t make sense.
His too strong a personality for the McCaskey’s, they would never hire someone like that. Rather these meek nice quiet types
Perhaps the greatest to ever do it compared to the hot offensive guru of the moment?
Yeah, I’m hiring Belichick. There’s always another hot OC to hire if it doesn’t work out
Doubt hes actually interested. Love seeing people passing on one of if not the GOAT coach. At the very least hes had the GOAT defenses for many years, id take him in a heartbeat
You’d take a pass on the greatest coach of all time
You lost me at “Jason La Confora”
I dont buy but also dont want anything to do with him. Most (not all) of the current good HCs are young and innovative.
“Belichick is supposedly interested …”
Bill Belichick is the last guy on Earth who would share this sort of interest - especially in the middle of a football season.
Does anyone have a link to La Canfora actually saying this? Doesn’t seem real at all
According to Jason La Confora (take it for what it’s worth)
That’s worth literally nothing
Belichick would never come to this dumpster fire of an organization. Imagine CHOOSING to work for the McCaskeys if you’re Belichick.
No. What has Bill done without Brady, a dominant D, clutch kicker, and stealing signs?
Ben Johnson or riot
Pass.
I’d bring him in as a consultant if he gets canned mid season which was rumored. Coaching? I’m not sure that’s a good idea. He once was known for having his teams be the most prepared in football. He put tremendous pressure on himself, his coaches and players. I don’t know if he can do that any more to the level he once did.
BTW, there is a coach via both the Belichick (TE coach) and Shanahan tree (through McVay) who might be a better candidate than most. Shane Waldron. I’m mystified why he’s not considered a better candidate than Ben Johnson (though there’s a lot to like). Designed, runs and calls his own offense in Seattle. Similar system to what the Bears run now. Resurrected Geno Smith’s career. Worked for the best offensive mind in football (McVay) and two great defensive HC (Belichick and Carrol).
