Thread: You be the GM: interview Tom Clemens

Clemens is not high on my list. 1) He's only been an OC for one year. 2) He doesn't even call the plays, because McCarthy is the real leader for the offense. Give him some more time as OC. I understand he could be successful as HC, but just believe there are better candidates out there. We are in a position, for once, to compete for the top talent. Just don't see Clemens as a top tier HC candidate.

"So, thanks for taking the job. You're a Bear now. Heard you have another game next week?"

"Yessir."

"Great. Use our 2012 playbook for it.

(Next week... on 3rd and 11, screen pass... gain of 1. Punt)

Better yet, hand him the TOP SECRET Hester Package Playbook. Cross out Hester, write in Cobb, and watch him gain over 200 combined yards from scrimmage with three scores.

Positives are that he is likely a good QB developer, and there is something to be said for poaching a coach away from a rival to weaken them.

But I find there are too many questions for this guy to be a (sure fire great) Head Coach. I think there is someone better..

nobody is going to be a sure fire great head coach. clements has developed possibly the best qb of all time, and he is the game planner for the packers. they love him so much that they denied the bears a chance to interview him last time they had an opening. we get better and the packers get worse, i like it.

yeah, but that doesn't take into account the fact that teams play and rush the pass more (and not necessarily blitzes) against the packers, because they don't expect them to run as they don't have an effective running game.
