Again, I didn't really have a favorite either way.  I just knew I wanted a OC or offensive-oriented coach with a track record of great playcalling/scheme design, and preferably a younger guy, but that's not a deal breaker.

It's sounding more and more like we essentially already have a handshake agreement in place with Payton.  I know officially they shouldn't have even negotiated or anything, but that's like believing tampering doesn't happen every offseason.

Whatever the deal is, I just know we desperately need to get this one right this time.  Probably the most important coaching hire in our history and it's going to determine a lot about Tepper if it hasn't been already.

My guess is he interviewed this week and his experience was brought up or he didn’t interview well and decided to go back. 
 

Need to see more out of him than one season. 
 

On to Steichen and Payton

you’re weirdly emotionally invested in this

This is a very true possibility. It’s all gonna be speculation until something comes out but a number of coaches use interview experience looking to be hired 2-3 years down the road.

Honestly, what got me started on all this was I was researching previous head coaching cycles and came across a lot of similar hype and things being said about Gase at the time. 

I did some more research and there are similarities regardless of what Mr. Scot says. 
 

Everytime I bring them up everyone gets defensive without bringing up anymore subject matter.

    • Yes, he's a tier above them, but you also touched on the money side of it.  With T-Mac locked in as our #1 on a rookie contract for a few more years, I'd much rather use that money that would be needed for DJ on our defense and develop Coker into our #2.   Especially given his contract situation as an UDFA, as his contract is up at the end of this year but we can keep him around for a 3rd team controlled year on the real cheap.  Which means we probably could get him to sign a very reasonable extension this offseason to give him a little more money while giving us a bargain contract for what he provides. DJ's contract is north of $20 million for the next 5 years, why pay that for your #2 WR with the needs we have on defense and you have guys like Coker, XL, and Horn on rookie contracts who very well could combine to be a serviceable 2-4 WRs behind a stud in T-mac? I love DJ and he'd be a great fit on this team as our #2, but the money side of it just makes absolutely zero sense, that's all it comes down to for me on this one. And no, I don't see the Bears wanting XL back in that trade, because they drafted Burden, who is essentially a better version of what XL provides, a player you want to get the ball into their hands and let them go to work.
    • I didnt see that many bad calls in the panthers cowboys game, but the chiefs especially in the playoffs were getting every single call they could get then the refs when it didnt matter would throw a call towards the other teams.  That I believe was the taylor swift effect.   But its crazy just thinking about how easy it is to change a game.  You dont need but a single ref to make a few close calls go towards one team over the other and in the nfl that is the game.  
    • I don't think it's unrealistically blaming Bryce Young......to say has been a reason, sometimes a big one, in why our pass offense overall has been extremely week over the past 3 collective seasons.  I think that bothering anyone, is just being overly invested in some Bryce Young argument.  It's just a reality.
