Belichick Rumors (alien.top)

According to Jason La Confora (take it for what it’s worth), Belichick is supposedly interested in coaching the Bears. Personally, I’d take a pass, but it’s a very oddly specific rumor. The only way I’d even entertain the possibility is if McDaniels came back as his OC and he didn’t insist on personnel responsibilities.

Personally, I want an offensive minded head coach from the Shanahan tree. I won’t be impressed by a defensive hire, barring something crazy happening like Buffalo cutting McDermott loose. Hiring a defensive guy in his 70s just doesn’t make sense.

I’d bring him in as a consultant if he gets canned mid season which was rumored. Coaching? I’m not sure that’s a good idea. He once was known for having his teams be the most prepared in football. He put tremendous pressure on himself, his coaches and players. I don’t know if he can do that any more to the level he once did.

BTW, there is a coach via both the Belichick (TE coach) and Shanahan tree (through McVay) who might be a better candidate than most. Shane Waldron. I’m mystified why he’s not considered a better candidate than Ben Johnson (though there’s a lot to like). Designed, runs and calls his own offense in Seattle. Similar system to what the Bears run now. Resurrected Geno Smith’s career. Worked for the best offensive mind in football (McVay) and two great defensive HC (Belichick and Carrol).
