I wonder if Caldwell would be interested in taking the OC job there. I know he interviewed for HC jobs, but working with Fields might interest him.

Regardless, Chicago seems to have done well for themselves. Damn it.

With the #Bears having finalized their deal with Matt Eberflus, what’s next for Justin Fields is a big question. #Eagles passing game coordinator Kevin Patullo is a name to watch for new OC. twitter.com/RapSheet/statu…

It would seem difficult to keep hiring an endless string of dumb head coaches. One can only hope!

Caldwell has said he has no desire to be a coordinator in any capacity.

Just read that Pep Hamilton might be under consideration. If so, there's a former connection to the Colts.

So, just another nail in the Bieniemy coffin?

Poles was in KC, and didn't think it was worth waiting for him.

Definitely an eyebrow raiser.

Maybe being able to count to 11 is a HC requirement? ;)

Bears coach Matt Eberflus will interview coaches this weekend. Chicago will be open-minded. But a name to watch—Packers pass-game coordinator Luke Getsy. There's a relationship there, and Eberflus could offer Getsy play-calling, which he won't get in GB.

Getsy's been in demand.

Getsy getting traction.

Getsy has been talked of as a future head coach. If the bears get him, its probably for a year or two tops. OC carousel.

Yea, I like what the Bears have done so far.  I really wanted Poles over Kwesi, based on football exp in general.  Eberflus has some experience on both Off and Def although mostly Off.  I read that he was passing game coordinator for the Cowboys from 2015-2017.  Now the Bears need to try and mimic what Buffalo did with Josh Allen and hire a good QB coach and also an good OC for Fields development.  

I am really hoping the Kwesi goes with someone with mostly Off mindset (Pederson) or someone with a good amount of both (Eberflus has 2 years of Off and Morris has 4 years plus HC exp.) Lastly, I would be fine with taking a chance on O'Connell - all OC, only about 4 yr OC, former QB.  He has more experience then Moore whom we haven't even talked with.  I also thought we should have talked with Daboll? 

Who I would be very lukewarm on:  1-year wonders like McDaniel/Ryans from 49'ers.  Moore is also too unproven as of yet for my liking.  I like Leftwich a lot if he continues to show his chops the next 2 years. 

It doesn't seem like Pederson or Daboll are even in our interview plans so right now: 

Morris and O'Connell are my favorite candidates remaining.  No Idea why we be looking at the Giants DC????
