That didn't take long

[WmHBonney]

The Bears have requested to interview Shane Waldron

MSN

 

[AROS]

Knock yourselves out.

 

[hugecanoli]

See ya!

 

[Maelstrom787]

What an uninspiring hire for them if it comes to pass

Fields needs a run game

Caleb will too, if that happens

 

[Fade]

Shane is better than most realize. He was the best coach on the staff

He was #9 in EPA, with a bottom 5 O-Line, and mid-Geno at QB.

28th in possessions. (He never had the ball because the defense couldn't get off the field.)

That bottom 5 OL is coached by his package-deal partner, and his running attacks were quite uninspiring after Solari was pushed out.

He's not the worst OC, but a lot of these issues are attributable to his lack of balance, lack of offensive identity, and apparent lack of detail-oriented coaching. Namely the third down and RZ issues.

Best coach on staff (besides Pete for going 9-8 despite holding onto ineffective assistants out of a sense of extreme loyalty) is Larry Izzo by leaps and bounds.

 

[Maelstrom787]

Probably would be fine if we had a better run game coordinator than Morton. But the lack of balance was not particularly defensible in my eyes.

(Merged 2 threads on the same thing) ie Waldron interviewing with Chicago.


Not gunna help them.

Hard to have balance when the defense is constantly failing. And can't get the ball back either.

His bigger sin was forgetting about the TEs for large stretches. And how he deployed JSN. Still a top 10 EPA Offense.

Agree.

I don't get the Waldron hate here. Our offense wasn't even remotely the problem.

 

[seahawks08]

Shane Waldron designs great plays, I don’t think he could bring all of them to life. It maybe he is still growing as a coach but definitely on an upward trajectory. I wouldn’t be surprised if he becomes a HC in another 3 years.

 

[OneLofaTatupu]

Clint has an interview with the Quilcene Rangers.

 

[hinton]

Agree.

Our offense routinely disappeared for entire quarters and even halves at a time.

There were several games this year where we had an opening TD drive which looked surgical, then we'd barely get 3 first-downs until the 4th quarter.

The defense is the biggest problem by far, but there's way too much talent on offense for the garbage 3rd down numbers and sheer number of short-drives. We needed them to keep the D off the field for as long as possible.

Yeah, but don't you want to see his offense without the so-called "meddling" from Pete we keep hearing about?

 

[James in PA]

Bears will be bears.

No
