Thread: Who do you want Emery to talk to about being the Bears HC?

ya bruce Ariens would be a great pick up.

Somehow I don't think Cutler would be a fit for that offense

Reported that the Chiefs and Chicago are both going to interview Keith Armstrong(ST guy from Atl). Also reported this is likely for the Rooney rule.

It's a lot easier being the coach that everyone wants and thinks is capable of getting them to the promised land than it is to actually prove it. Especially when you are making millions and have his rep. Everyone thinks he will be a winner. All he can do as a best case is prove them right. No upside. He would just meet expectations. But if he fails, he has lots of downside and it may hurt his ESPN gig too. Better to be a legend that everyone wants than to go out and try to prove it and possibly fail.

If he really wanted to be a coach, he would. Since he apparently would rather sit in his cushy chair, I'd say he would probably have been a bad choice. People do best at what they really want to do. He would rather stay an announcer. Coaching at this point would be all downside and no upside.

Probably a good decision on his part.

I know it's fun playing GM and conjuring up scenarios. But for the first time, well ever, I actually have faith in the current GM. I trust he will vet the options fully and make the best choice available. I'm not worried about it and will be excited and support whoever he chooses. It's kind of a nice feeling because, like I said, I never felt that confident before. :)
