Around SBN: Trent Richardson Interviews Fellow Brown Brandon Weeden

The Bears Den: January 6, 2012

Bear_s-den2_medium_medium_medium

"...where we're odd...and fidgety."

Bears seek permission to interview Ravens executive Pompei: All the teams with general manager vacancies are interested in Eric DeCosta, but he has turned down overtures in the past.

Raiders to hire Packers executive Reggie McKenzie as GM Davis: The Raiders will hire Packers Director of Football Operations and former Raider Reggie McKenzie in a General Manager capacity. Video: Chuck on Angelo, more...

Bears inspire little confidence McNeil: Firing Jerry Angelo was a good move but it's doubtful management can select a solid replacement. Esiason: Coach Shouldn’t Hire GM

WCG is on Twitter: Come drive the bus.

Star-divide

"Due diligence" could cost Bears dearly Moon: As Ted Phillips and the Bears sit back and weigh their options for the next general manager, other teams are making moves and grabbing candidates the Bears were likely interested in. New GM means new draft strategies.

Eric DeCosta atop Bears' GM list? Seifert: For those curious, a list of names has begun to emerge. Four GM candidates to keep an eye on.

Bears coach sets timeline Lovie Smith says he talked to Mike Martz before he informed Jay Cutler of offensive coordinator's departure.

Podlesh, punt team excelled this season Mayer: With help from the coverage unit, punter Adam Podlesh recorded a 40.4-yard net average this season, the best by a Bears player since at least 1966.

Baffoe: You Got Your Wish, Bears Fans, But Do You Know What You Got? All hail your supreme football leader, Bears fans. It is apparent that Smith rules Halas Hall with a velvet hammer, fronting to the media and public with his folksy blandness and the stoicism of a Winslow Homer painting, all the while swinging a big stick behind closed doors.

2011 NFL season by the numbers The 2011 season will go down as the Year of the Passing Game, as records were shattered like Bourbon Street revelers after a Saints Super Bowl victory. Kerry Byrne highlights 41 eye-popping passing numbers from the season.

Hmmmm

From the pompei article:

Another name believed to be in the mix is Packers director of college scouting John Dorsey. It is noteworthy the Bears are interested in two of the Packers’ front-office men.

That would be interesting if the packers lost their top 2 front office guys especially their director of college scouting…..

Yeah but I'm not overly excited about them wanting to interview anyone from the Vikings, Redskins, Bills and/or Cardinals.

Those teams don’t exactly scream competent seeing how bad the rosters of those teams are. But then again I shouldn’t complain about the Bears casting a wide net. Either way I hope the next guy knows what he’s doing lol

This was a refreshing break from the normal... "No one wants to work here because of Lovie."

The Bears’ vacant GM seat is possibly the most attractive position in football. I mentioned a few reasons why I thought so earlier yesterday, but Jensen expounds on even more.

Why do people keep assuming Lovie has so much power?

It’s pretty damn obvious that if Lovie doesn’t take us to the Super Bowl next year and 2013 he’s done. And even if he does he might still be done because then he’ll be too expensive or something. George McCaskey wants Lovie gone, it’s pretty obvious IMO.

by themacattack on Jan 6, 2012 8:49 AM CST reply actions  

I'm not seeing where George 'wants' Lovie gone.

I can see it as a weeding out process. Accountability falls solely on Lovie now. I guess it’s possible that he is being set up to fail, but the reverse is also true.

Steve Keim

Just listening to Waddle & Silvy, they’re talking with Jeff Dickerson. JD was talking about Keim with the Cardinals. He was the East Coast scout and was responsible for the Cards drafting Thomas Jones, Fitzgerald, Boldin, Antrel Rolle, Carlos Dansby. So he’s got a eye for talent.

I didn’t know about him before but after listening to JD, he sounds like a really good candidate.

However, being associated with an organization where it got rid of its best players, topped off with an absolute mess of a QB situation, it doesn’t bode too well in the grand scheme of things. I’m not completely opposed, just would much rather have DeCosta, Sundquist, or Ross before coming anywhere near members of the Cards.

On May 15, 2004, Grigson was hired by the Philadelphia Eagles as a western regional scout. He was a part of the Eagles’ NFC Championship/Super Bowl XXXIX team in 2004. On June 8, 2006, he was promoted to director of college scouting,1 and on February 3, 2010, he was promoted to director of player personnel.

I would love to see any of those guys.

I believe Grigson will either stay with the Eagles or go back to the Rams, who gave him his start to his post-playing career.

Who is Dawson with now?

Tennessee Titans Vice President/Football Operations Lake Dawson: Dawson played wide receiver collegiately at Notre Dame and was selected in the third-round of the NFL draft by Kansas City in 1994. Following his playing career, Dawson spent time in the Seahawks front office before he landed with the Titans as the Director of Pro Scouting in 2007. In his current role, Dawson is responsible for all day-to-day operations in Tennessee’s pro personnel department.

So Dawson worked under Ruskell in Seattle and would be Ruskell's boss in Chicago.

Awkward

That is kind of disappointing. Actually really disappointing.

Why is this so disappointing ?? McKenzie took one interview ....

…. and took that job ( and was also lured there by Ron Wolf ) & DeCosta wasn’t gonna leave Baltimore anyway because of numerous reasons . So really where is all the disappointment coming from ?

Just that maybe the general consensus was that they were our top 2 candidates.

Other than that, you’re right. Still a few viable options.

Brightside: It won’t be Angelo.

Are these Tim Ruskell signings?

If so, someone needs to control that man.

Camp bodies

can never have too many, Ruskell or not. They’ll either end up cut for other campers or maybe, just maybe, they’ll have something to show us.
