As per chicagobears.com, Shane Day is at Halas Hall interviewing for the vacant QB coaching position. He has a history with Mike Martz and newly hired tight ends coach Mike DeBord. Does that make him a Lovie guy by association?
He's never been a position coach at the NFL level, but has been at Michigan, from his 49ers bio:
With the Wolverines, Day was the assistant quarterbacks and quality control coach in charge of developing the team's young quarterbacks.
And while coaching High School, also from his 49ers bio:
Prior to joining the Michigan staff, Day spent four seasons coaching at Auburn (WA) Riverside High School. He coached the wide receivers (2001) and quarterbacks (2002) during his first two years. Day continued as the quarterbacks mentor in his final two seasons and handled the responsibility of offensive coordinator from 2003-04.

Hire.
It’s ‘hire’. I’m not being mean, I’ve just noticed that you’ve said ‘highered’ quite a few times. It’s not a big deal, but thought you should know. :]

Haha, thank you, thank you. :P
It really wasn’t meant to be rude… I had just seen it alot, so I knew it wasn’t a typo… and I would want to know if it was me!

I AM an English major. And you ALWAYS capitalize English.
but i cood care less bout ur use of the vernacular. I would’ve gone with “higherd” but ur way works. ;) This ain’t a doctoral thesis, its posting. No offense intended HB, just sayin’.
If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.

I know,
that’s why I said it wasn’t a big deal. I just know that I’m one of those people who, if they knew it wasn’t a typo, would want to be told the proper way to do it. I wasn’t yelling nor will I be upset if he keeps using it, I just felt the urge to let him know. I don’t think he has any hard feelings toward it. :] (I hope!)

If they hired Martz 3 weeks ago, instead of putzing around like fools...
He would have been able to get his #1 choices in here to build his staff.

Personally,
I don’t think he’s qualified to be a QB coach. He doesn’t have enough experience.

I don’t see Jay taking this easy seriously. Not because of how he looks but because he has no experience. I can’t believe they are looking at someone who has more high school experience on his résumé than at college or professional level.

This guy looks like
he’d be more equipped to recite the entire numerical value of Pi instead of being able to coach quarterbacks.

wonder how long that would take him...lol

For some reason,
I don’t see Cutler looking up to this guy, unless he’s on a ladder. I don’t know, could be wrong.

I don't see him listening to him
and respecting his opinions. How old is this guy? He looks like a hobbit.

Uh, forever.
Cuz it’s pi. Well, assuming you’re talking about the decimal.

Our sarcasm goes both ways...
…I was playing along. He doesn’t look like a math nerd to me, more of a middle-brother kinda guy—like he might snap at any moment.

I was laughing
cause I didn’t know if that was sarcasm on your part when I was typing my reply. So, for this round, you have won the sarcasm battle. And he does look like he could possibly snap.

SF QBs have improved
I’d never heard of this guy, but I will say the the SF QBs have shown improvement over the last couple of seasons.
With Martz onboard, he’ll essentially be the QB coach. Whoever we hire as QB coach will essentially be QB coach assistant.

To be fair here are his NFL credentials from his 49er bio;
Shane Day enters his third season in the NFL after being named the 49ers quality control coach on May 21, 2007. He works closely with the offensive coaching staff on their weekly game plan and the compilation of the daily practice report, while also assisting with the offensive line.
Every young coach has to start somewhere. Maybe the Bears will keep interviewing prospects…
by Lester A. Wiltfong Jr. on Feb 3, 2010 3:24 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Just a thought...
What about Ramsdell, QB coach at San Diego? He was the QB coach under Martz in St. Louis.

What about Ditka?
Please find Jay Cutler some help...
by Jbasic89 on Feb 3, 2010 4:04 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Well
we definitely need to get our quality under control.

When do we interview Charlie Sheen and Kevin Costner?
Tim Robbins just broke up with Annie Savoy, he may be available too…
Perhaps the Bears just need JoBu and some rum?
by sabbath999 on Feb 4, 2010 9:56 AM CST up reply actions 0 recs
It is very bad..to drink Jobu's run. It is very bad!
all joking aside though, it is only an interview, either he will prove himself to them or he won’t. I don’t think Martz would bring him in though if he didn’t think he could bring something to the table. Still, i would like to see someone with a bit more on the resume than QA chief.

Wut wld Shane Days hiring mean for the bears?
No primetime games for Chicago, because it’s way past coach days bedtime.
by Papabear777 on Feb 3, 2010 5:20 PM CST via mobile reply actions 1 recs
Hire now!
no primetime games would mean 10 less picks for jay easy.. and he wouldnt even have to do anything..

WTF ?
Wouldn’t it be better just bringing back the Honey Bears and giving them to Cutler ? Shane Day. I just threw up a little.
