I do find it rather annoying that guys like Matt Nagy are on teams that succeed despite not having anything to do with it. Now, we shall see what Eberf-LOSE does with the Cowboys as their defensive coordinator.
With the Bears filling out their coaching staff as our loyal friend Dave posted in the previous thread, what are the thoughts so far? For me, I still have every right to be pessimistic until proven otherwise. And apparently, the reincarnation of Ted Phillips had to sit George McCaskey down to convince him to spend a fortune on Ben Johnson. As I’ve said before, I don’t think Geroge is a cheap ass. I think he looks at it from a financial standpoint since he seems to be okay with giving out three-five year deals on coaches. So when they’re fired after two seasons, they are still on the hook for the remaining contract.
The businessman in myself sees this as stupidity. If I buy a new product for my business, I only buy little at the start. Why? Because there is a chance that product could suck and I wouldn’t be stuck with overstock. If it doesn’t sell, I didn’t lose as much.
Maybe give a coach one or two years at the most. That’s more than enough time to figure shit out. That way, when you fire the next incompetent head coach, you may only pay for one year after they are fired rather than two or three.
But what do I know? I’m just a fan.
