Gregg Williams to NYJ
Vance Joseph to ARI
Steve Wilks talking to CLE

Hopefully that leaves us with Pagano.

I have nothing but respect for Fangio and Donatell. They developed something on defense here. But I'm intrigued by what another experienced DC can bring to the table with all the talent we have locked in.

As good as our defense has been, I feel like we can be better than the conservative playcalls we saw at the end of halves / games this year. Pagano interests me. But so does Rex Ryan. Hopefully they find a sharp mind to pair with Nagy for the long haul.

Nagy must have someone in mind because the big names are dropping like flys.

Big no to Triple G Williams. Would rather have Pagano or Jay Rodgers.

If they are serious about Pagano than they should scoop him up quick because I just read both the Browns and Panthers are really interested as well.

If these are our final candidates and we land one of them then the bears have done their due diligence and I would be ecstatic.

I don't get the hate for Ryan. He is undeniably the most successful candidate available. It's not even close.

Apparently, choir boy is the most important qualification for being DC of the Chicago Bears, too many f-bombs would offend our delicate players. Nevermind that a lot of players texted Glazer after that Hard Knocks episode, saying that they would love to play for him.

Not a fan of Pagano. Seems like a hire similar to Fox if it happens.

It is finished. Pagano is Defensive Coordinator for your Chicago Bears.

Naw, cause he is DC only. If it was a hc role I'd agree. He will stay in his lane.

He's only been a DC for one season in the NFL. I don't like the hire. At all.

I like the hire. We will find out how he does.

Hopefully better than you think he will.

He has great talent to work with, but I don't think he will improve it. I'd almost prefer his brother.

Whew. That did not take long, and a quality hire, not a wtf hire.
