Another Name For The OC Job

According to this article, the Bears are looking to interview the Ravens' Hue Jackson for their OC position.
Jackson has a strong reputation as a coach, and his experience includes coaching both receivers and running backs in the NFL.
We know he has experience and has lots of credit for working with Joe Flacco - I personally think it could be a good match.
What are your thoughts on this potential candidate?

Not Bad
I looked into him a bit when the Raiders were poking around him… 2 seperate stints calling plays so he has some experience

I have no idea
It’s not like the Ravens offense has been stellar lately, or ever for that matter.
Jackson has been widely credited for the quick development of quarterback Joe Flacco, the 18th overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft.
I’m a bit dubious on his so-called development cause Flacco took a step back this season.
Personally, I think he’ll be another name that ends up snubbing the Bears.

The Ravens offense has been
better than at anytime I can remember. They’ve never been a really good team offensively. The last couple seasons I thought they stepped it up a notch, maybe more so last season.

Watching some of their games this season
and it seemed at some points that they tried to rely on flacco too much at certain points pretty much abandoning the run……

They have been more of a running team in the past.
I can understand why the comparisons between Bears/Ravens.

He had the Bengals WR performing
Houshmandzadeh – sp? (6th or 7th round pick?) not exactly everyones oh he is going to be good but turned out to be under Jackson
The WR formerly know as Johnson (Poko-loco, OchoCinco, whatever he wants to call himself) – had franchise and league leading records.
Chris Henry was another who worked under Jackson and did well for himself (on-fieled at least)
Plus he has done a wide range of O coaching
WR, RB, QB, and OC
All that said, will he be good for the Bears????
I am not real familiar what systems he has worked with, preferences, etc.
Someone else will have to look into or know that one
Sounds like
he’s still under qualified for the Bears.

Yep, I looked him up and read the same.
I think he would be a great fit.

This just in the Bears are looking for ANY-ONE who has ever coached football,....
played football in college, high-school or even anyone that has watched a bear game this season! lol I say they dont sign a coach tell AFTER the Super Bowl.
I'm not getting my hopes up this one.
I really wanted Chud and was devastated when I heard the news.
I think the organization really screwed itself by firing Turner and not Lovie. They should have cleaned house. At this point I would say Martz doesn’t even want to come here.
by boondock_saint812 on Jan 25, 2010 3:58 PM CST reply actions
I'm resigned to the fact
that he’ll be named our new OC, just as soon as the Bears get denied by a few more qualified candidates.

Martz
is gonna shock the world when he turn the play calling up a notch for this offense. Bears NFC Central Division Champs 2010. You heard it here first. Superbowl 45 or bust. I’m not fluent in roman numerals.
I agree that Martz will be the OC and he will
succeed. I’m not sure about the SB but I think def the playoffs. Only if Martz reduces his salary will he end up as the OC, but he is willing to sign a 2 year contract with Lovie.
Little Update..
Via http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2010/01/bears-talking-to-ravens-hue-jackson-for-offensive-coordinator-post.html …Jackson is already on his way to Halas Hall
That article states:
He is believed to also have an offer to join the Raiders staff, a source said.
All I know is this….If he turns down a spot on the Bears and joins the raiders……well….ya….

Shocking to say the least
Oakland has more stability and security than the Bears? I never thought I’d see the day!

Yeah
so I guess it depends on if The Bears are “blown away” by his interview.

50/50 on this one .....
….. the Ravens offense looked great at times and looked really bad at others . Sound familiar ? Though Jackson does seem to be a more well rounded coach I’m just not a 100% on this one . Personally I think Zampeze from Cincy is a better option but Jackson’s style of football is what we want to do . So whomever we hire I’ll be good with it …… minus a Mike Martz hiring .
by MidWayMonster54 on Jan 25, 2010 4:27 PM CST reply actions
I agree with this
I mean there were times the ravens offense really clicked but towards the end they seem to stall….
Though I would prefer jackson over zampese….

I like his resume a little better that Zampese's.
Whoever they get will be better than RT. I could really see them getting this guy. My favorite candidate is Clyde Christensen, I dont see us being able to get him though.

Jackson
was not the Ravens OC, he is the QB coach. He doesn’t create their style, he doesn’t call the plays, he doesn’t make their offense balanced vs pass-happy vs. run-happy.
Cam Cameron is the Ravens OC (incidentally, he’s regarded as one of the 2 or 3 best OCs in the game).
If you have a problem with the Ravens offense, complain about Cameron. If you have a problem with the 07 Falcons offense, or the 03 Redskins play-calling, or Joe Flacco’s pro career, then complain about Jackson.
DEJESUS!!!
I was thinking the same thing reading all these.

don’t be afraid to read the part about plank. now i know this is an o.c. thread but i figure i would get the ball rolling on the defensive side again…peace.
Oh, hell yeah!!!
You fella’s are on top of your game today. I hope they bring in Plank for the DC position. I will have to do some reading about some of the others. Great news man.

Yeah right
The Bears don’t like former Bears…won’t happen.

I think its more that

i would assume...
that lovie knows his job is on the line and that there isn’t time to f*ck around. he’s got to make the right moves…not just any move but the right ones. bringing in a different mind set for the defense might be beneficial? who knows how the man thinks but im not jumping off the lovie bandwagon just yet…well, unless he f*cks up the coaching situations…peace.
lovie won't do this as propheteer said
The greeks called it hubris.
Here is a definition, and I will leave it to you as to who it fits on the Bears coaching staff: “Hubris often indicates a loss of touch with reality and overestimating one’s own competence or capabilities, especially for people in positions of power.”
"I am not an animal!" - Merrick
I would like to look into some of these coaches
that were let go by the Jets tomorrow. I would have done it tonight, but I’ve been busy. Of course, I loved Plank when he played for us, but I have no idea about him as a coach. All’s I know about the other coaches is that they came from the Jets, a way better defense than we had this past season…sure the hell like that. When it comes to Lovie and ex-Bears players coaching for him, alls I have to go on there is Rivera. I agree with you guys and say he doesn’t even get talked to by them. I do think he will reach out to someone let go of from the Jets though.

From reading
all those coaches were assistant to the actual position coach (except for the st coach)….Not to mention that Plank “coaching resume” is lacking (well outside of the AFL)…..No way they bring him in given Lovies track record….

experience...
i know there might be a lack of experience but why not bring him in and at least see where his mindset is before writting him off. sh*t…why not bring in some of the other jets coaches and see what their deal is. Lord knows they had a top defense this year…why not see what they can and cannot bring to the table.
please lovie…ask yourself…why not?
Oh hell yeah,

"But it doesn't matter what I do, what I choose. I'm what's wrong. This is fate" - Dexter season 4....I mean Lovie season 6.
I called this two days ago.
I figured he would be added with the way players were dropping from it.
The Pro Bowl is a joke now. Half the players aren’t even playing. The three AFC QBs are Schaub, Young and Gerrard. Moving it to before the Super Bowl and out of Hawaii was a terribad decision.

is it a joke now because there are so very few Bears on it?
Would it still be a joke if we had 8 guys on there? As I said elsewhere, it is what it is and still an honor for those selected.
"I am not an animal!" - Merrick
Huh?
What have you read of mine to suggest that I’m a meat head?
The Pro Bowl is turning into a joke, not because a certain number of Bears players weren’t selected to it (as it should have be), but because of the amount of players that are backing out of it. On top of the fact that it’s been taken out of Hawaii, put in Miami and moved to the week before the Super Bowl. Thus eliminating even more of the “best” and chosen players from playing in it.
It is no longer an All Star game, since half the players are pulling out of it and we are stuck, inevitably, watching the second string. That’s if you even watch it.

more huh for smudgers
I made no comment regarding your meat head tendencies and that is not relevant.
The pro bowl has never been about the game itself. It’s been about the honor of being selected, even if the selection process is flawed. The players playing the game have always gone at half speed for as long as I can remember so, quite frankly its never been about the game itself. Playing in the game doesn’t make an all pro more of an all pro. What I have said is that it doesn’t matter that the GAME is watered down because the honor (as much as there ever was) remains.
"I am not an animal!" - Merrick
You replied
to me, asking me…
is it a joke now because there are so very few Bears on it? Would it still be a joke if we had 8 guys on there?
That implies that I believe it’s a joke b/c I’m a meat head. Therefore making it relevant, to me.
Besides that, I don’t care what speed the game is played. When you are on your 5th, 6th and 7th best QB’s (out of 16), it’s gotten ridiculous. I’m happy for Knox, but he was the third choice. Peanut would have been an alternate to an alternate… yet he can’t play and they have to go even deeper. Favre just dropped out, so the NFC QB’s have only one guy representing them that was voted in.
The honor starts to not mean so much with each person that’s added because someone else drops out. But let’s keep rewarding mediocrity. Hell, let’s give everyone a trophy!

This could end up better than I thought.
We don’t have anyone for OC and DC, but they have more options right now than at any time since the end of the season. Please dont screw it up, Lovie.

Don't know how I feel about Jackson but
i am getting a little anxious as to who will be our next OC. The Ravens have a so/so offense very similar to ours. I just wonder if he can get the most out of our players.
I might be on board with this guy now
after reading this little excerpt from Dickerson.
“He’s the kind of guy who would call plays based on what suits his personnel best,” Hasselbeck said.

doesn’t exactly bring me any comfort on his opinions. After all this is Tim Hasselbeck we’re talking about.

but I like a guy who caters to the talent currently on the team. That’s not something I’m familiar with this current coaching staff.

jackson's resume doesn't seem all that impressive
but who knows what he can do?
I think Lovie has realized that he doesn't want to have a job after next season
Start Sean Marshall!!
why?
There’s a good chance that 2011 is going to be uncapped. He could get paid to sit home either way?

Other news
Zampese is no longer in the running for the Bears job. The Bengals decided the Bears were taking too long and withdrew permission for him to be considered.
What a bunch of idiots running this search. We are only slightly less ridiculous looking than the Raiders.
