When I look at IND, I don't see great drafting or roster construction while Dodds has been there. I see a few great hits but overall not a great deal of consistency.

Also seems like a guy who has either put off several franchises or is really looking for the perfect spot to be in.

Ed Dodds is on that Ryan Pace success plan I see!

Told you he’s a smart dude.

Not a good sign. He probably thought the questions he was being asked as moronic.

Can we just consider that Ed Dodds said "fuck this" the same day the DC in his organization was said to be getting a second interview?

They must really not like each other.

Bears are hiring the head guy, he won’t have a boss. He might just not want that responsibility, maybe he just wants to be a roster guy.

Someone is playing the Office Space "Jump to Conclusions" game.

Maybe he wanted to be able to pick his HC and then got wind of this and said I’m out. It’s a possibility as well.

Except the GM will hire the coach, so....

Sounding like Dodds just flat bombed.

Curious to know how his interview actually went. Based on everything I've read about him, he sounds a lot like Chris Ballard as far as personality goes, so it's no surprise George and Ted didn't like what they heard from him. He was probably too blunt with them and quickly realized minutes into his interview that these guys have no clue what they're doing.

Dude sounded like a roided up bullshit artist to me, good riddance.

I get that story plays in Chicago, but supposedly last year Dodds fucked up his interview in Carolina and then withdrew his name before being told "no thank you" at that time as well.

So the mock presser didn't go well

I have no interest in someone who now withdrew his name for a promotion three times. It just shows he can't handle the pressure.

 

[BigBill]

He's a tough dude. He told Teddy where he can stick his zoom!

Goddamnit Ted!
