Jesus Christ. We are going to do it again, aren’t we?
This sounds like it was written by an agent
Why should we have even 1 shred of faith that this crew can get this right? They’ve hired and fired a billion coaches in 2 years.
Few months of this shit guys
Why can’t you just be normal?!
Bears: SCREAMS
Leader of men is a nickelback song. Based of that criteria Chad Kroeger is our leading candidate.
General Patton named new HC
While I’m not sure freeman is the guy this would be the first time in a long time aside from John Fox who was obviously over the hill and recommended by one of these outside consultants that they went for the CEO type coach vs one based off scheme.
Wonder what John Fox is up to these days, think he’d be interested?
Ok, we were happy one day…. Back to suffering
LOL

Obama?
I don’t believe these “sources” know shit
I don’t think it’ll happen but please let Marcus Freeman stay in South Bend. Idk how he’d be on the pro level but I’ve been happy with him as the coach of the Irish thus far.

Oh great. The man who lost to NIU at home…
My criteria is winning football head coach
Can we have a plan to hire an excellent football coach instead for once?
Can I please order a leader of developing quarterbacks and play calling instead?
OK, I just read the article. It says absolutely nothing.
Just fucking throw 10m a year at Ben Johnson. This isn’t that difficult.
We’re looking for Harbaugh huh?
What a bunch of dipshits
You know who was a leader of men….Jim Harbaugh.
Spare me the leader of men nonsense and just get somebody that can develop a quarterback
This is going to be fucking awful if we hire him.
No surprising names please. Do you know who else was a surprising choice? Marc Trestman.
Absolutely not. That is a disaster in the making.
I sure fucking hope now
We are going to out-think ourselves again and I’m NOT here for it.
Oh god that’s a classic dumbass Chicago “he’s from Notre Dame so we like him” hire.
No. Freeman, while a very good coach, I don’t think he’s NFL coaching material. Not yet.

Yall ready to lowball Mike Vrabel
Can someone bring accountability to this damn franchise?
>”The leader-of-men model has become more popular in recent years. Part of that is due to a dearth of hot-shot offensive coordinator talent. But there has also been the sustained success of Mike Tomlin and more recent success of Dan Campbell.
>Last year, that type of coach was en vogue. Raheem Morris, Dan Quinn, Jerod Mayo and Jim Harbaugh all landed jobs in the cycle.”
Bears one year too late, playing catchup. As usual. Imagine 10 months ago they had a chance to hire Harbaugh didn’t even look into it. Now they are scrambling to find a Harbaugh type and will no doubt pull some nobody from nowhere with a similar personality but none of the talent.
I remember Jerry Angelo drafting this guy for LB depth
North Dakota?!?
I’m of two minds about Johnson but if we hire Glenn over him, I’ll start a statewide petition for the team to be moved to Rockford
Gross
Please no freeman. I feel like 80% of his success is due to recruiting. Won’t have that advantage in nfl
Where’s Lovie these days?
Did anyone actually read this piece or are they just going off the clickbait title lol.
No mention of Freeman being actually linked, all it says is the Bears drafted him in 09 and that NFL teams may be interested in him due to Notre Dames success.
Nothing more.
I am in an abusive relationship with this team fr
This guys a recruiter. This is absolutely his agent trying to get an extension /more money .
I can’t stress enough: all of these options can not be worse than flus.
In short Harbaugh, in which you didn’t even pick up the phone to call him last year.

Can we all just pump the brakes here? From now until the new coach is hired there’s going to be a lot of wild speculation and hearsay. If we start pulling our hair out about each potential hire we’re in for a bad time.
We’re literally like a pack of abused dogs at this point. Don’t try to pet us, we’ll bite you.
