*OFFICIAL* Offseason Rumors, Signings, and Shenanigans

Depends if they run more of a cover 3 blend, but if any form of his D is Tampa 2, we are screwed

Yes, if the new staff asks the players to run a defense they aren’t capable of running effectively, we would be screwed.

That’s why the hope is we’ve hired a GM and HC that won’t do that…

What if he's lying to us?



I don't trust CCS bitches - too many trolls.

I don't think Eberflus had Bobby Okereke playing much centerfield in Indy.

That is a relief

Who’s Eberflus? Does he work for the building?

More and more stuff like this is coming out on Eberflus which, combined with the staff he is putting together and the front office Poles is putting together, has me damn excited.

I see a plan coming together, one that will transform the Bears going forward.

It's part of the reason why I think this will end up a better hire than if the Vikes hire Harbaugh.

He's a familiar name with a reputation for wearing out his welcome.

We have a leader who knows how to adjust, and has concrete and solid plans to fix this team.

I'm just feeling really damn good the further along we go with all of this...

 

[TL1961]

Correct and correct.

Remember that the Bears only fairly recently started using a GM. If you go back even just a few decades, you have an owner-selected kingmaker making all the decisions.

Bears need to get into the late 20th century, not to even mention the 21st century.

The Bears have had a GM since 1974.

Mark Hayley*, the guy that drafted Urlacher, had some less than GM title.




*Hatley.

Yep. Vice President of Pro Personnel. Weird. Essntially GM, but for some reason not the GM title. Weird.

 

[stelz]

Mark Hatley was the de facto GM because Wannstedt had final roster say, and was higher in the organization. Might have had the final say on draft choices. It was ridiculous, Wannie was so far over his head.

Bears Hired Ian Cunningham as Assistant General Manager

It’s widely believed he will become the team’s first Assistant GM in franchise history.

I'm not hating it.

Agree 100%. Keep him with Mooney, one less hole to fill, and then target OL/WR depth later in the draft. Develop TE, as Kmet COULD be solid.

He quit on the field multiple times. Rewarding him by bringing him back would undermine any culture changes the new regime tries to instill.

Plus he’s not elite and wants likely 18+ mil. Hard pass

Depends on how much the asking price is. There are some nice FA Wrs who will probably be cheaper and could pair well with Mooney.

Dude was sick of the BS play-calling and not being used right and the same for Fields. It was a shitshow. I'm not surprised he gave less than 100%. So, you've never worked at a job where the bullshit, red tape, and lies killed your spirit? I'm willing to give him a chance.

Since he’s a FA, we are paying to fill a hole though. Paying a lot for a guy who quit.
