    Ideally, I'd like Wilbon's combination too [I'm actually cool with a handful of the names I've heard]. However, I thought the Head Coach is the one who appoints a Defensive Coordinator because their visions have to match... If Ron Rivera and Ben Johnson know each other, that would be a great combination.

  • @346rt

    Absolutely my idea with Rivera. Remember.. McVay at age 30!! started as HC with Wade Phillips DC, a seasoned vet coach and it worked as a training wheels thing. Rivera is smart, super charged Lovies Cover2 defense that went to the Super Bowl and then took his own team to the Super Bowl.

    I lived in Oxnard Ca and worked at River ridge golf course where cowboys did their preseason workouts. I got every day to watch workouts for 3 years . Lucky enough to play golf with Prescott . Every year with Mc Carthy, Prescott got better.
    Prescott get hurts and McCarthy available. No brainer . Get McCarthy.At least Caleb will be coached by a WINNER….. that’s been proven.
    I’d love to see 46 d one more time …..or try the DC from Vikings who plays aggressive aka Bear defense.
    Give that combo a run . Ignore Bears GM, Warren and McCaskey.
    At least we’ll play Bears football.
    But McCarthy worked with Farve, jolly Rodger and Prescott . …. I personally saw him work with Prescott….. Prescott got better every year . Been Bear blood since 1960….. had pleasure of going to school with Pat McCaskey. Everyone take an aspirin. The McCaskey’s bleed blood. These youngsters need some guidance . Bears will be fine .
    Forget new stadium until Bears play in 4 playoffs again and win a few playoff games .
    Ol Pat McCaskey will take challenge. He’s a winner .

    bring in mccarthy as head coach, ron rivera (85 bears legend) as defensive coordinator and you'll have NFL experience in spades. maybe josh mccown (former bears player) as offensive coordinator (interviewing for HC jobs now). was mccown the reason behind the amazing rise of sam darnold? the bears need to hire an experienced all-star staff instead of taking chances on head coaches with no experience. mccarthy won a super bowl, rivera took the panthers to one. mccown coached darnold this season and apparently coached drake maye in high school (and just see where maye is at right now). not only that, who knows? but maybe mccown could be the heir apparent to mccarthy.

    The argument for Ben Carson over “someone with HC experience” can be made in one word: Ditka. He worked out alright and proves it can be done--it matters more that the candidate has a good plan and sticks to it versus the experience aspect, IMO.

    If these inexperienced coordinators who have aspirations of being head coaches went to colleges and became head coaches there first, they could have a body of work as HCs instead of all this speculation about whether or not they can fill the role well. But no one wants to do that. They want instant gratification without a proven track record and end up setting franchises back by years and years because they weren't ready for the job.
