Uh, idk. Idk bout this.

I’m sold on Campbell as a passable FBS head coach.

I’d likely get fired if I hired Campbell as an NFL head coach.

I saw they were also interested in Mike McCarthy lol

Literally everyone is getting a look!

 

[HerbRedman]

I was gonna say 'don't these young looking first time NFL HCs usually get run over?'

But then I remembered Sean McVay. And Mike McDaniel. But they were not coming from college gigs IIRC.

Career suicide IMO

Bears are at 16 requests for interviews I believe. All are zoom at this point. NFL has rules of no in person interviews until after division round for coaches on other NFL staffs. This obviously wouldn’t apply to Campbell but I’ve read they did the same for Vrabel. If I had to guess Campbell has a good agent here getting his name out after a solid Cockeye St year

 

[Kaladin]

lol Campbell and Mike Mccarthy

What a stupid organization

I have no confidence that Ryan Poles will hire a good coach. If wanting to get McCarthy and now Campbell are targets, then there's no chance the Bears actually get a coach that will get the most out of Caleb Williams. My hope is that this is just due diligence prior to hiring Ben Johnson.

Smoke screens. No one would hire Campbell.

 

[RedSavage]

Smoke screens. No one would hire Campbell.

If anyone would, I believe it would be the Bears

 

[BingoDingo]

Step 1: Think about good coaches that could be hired

Step 2: Watch the FO trip over their dicks and eventually hire Coach Bro

Step 3: Say something like "He will probably have an ok offense" with no conviction.

 

[realbp]

I read an article where Poles stated they were going to cast a wide net and talk to people no one would think of in both pro and college. I'm hoping this is just checking that box.

Career suicide IMO

I dunno about that.

We have a pretty good example of a guy that that had success in college, bombed in the NFL and made it back to a blue blood Big 10 program.
