Another thing that is surprising to me is that several other teams, at least up to this point, have interviewed quite a few more candidates than the Bears. After being told the search would be exhaustive and lengthy, yet Pace hasn’t interviewed any college coaches or former NFL HC yet?

Well, it will be lengthy and he will be exhausted so he wasn't lying

He doesn't have to. Ted and GMcC are in charge of that too.

I don't put it past Pace to have already made a choice much like he did with Trubisky and now he's simply checking out other options to compare. His guy could be someone he's interviewed or will soon or he could be off screen for the moment just as Mitch was.

The Teddy Bears and GMcC would applaud his secrecy.

But the longer it goes on the more likely it becomes the guy is in the playoffs and can't be signed now anyway.

I am worried we wait on a team in the playoffs and lose Fangio. What do you think about a Capers - Fangio swap.

The problem we will have is that Fangio is better than most DCs. When you replace someone that is pretty good, the chances you end up downgrading is greater than the chances you upgrade because of the pyramid thing. There are fewer people better so it is harder to get them.

Assuming Teddy's excellent NFL connections can identify them. So he can tell Pace who would be a great Bears pick and then Pace can make the final decision to hire him.

If the new HC wants Fangio as his DC Pace can sign Fangio to a new deal tomorrow if Fangio will agree to it.

There's no rule that says the HC has to come first. Most teams hire a HC and he picks his staff but if whoever Pace wants has already agreed to keep Fangio it's already a done deal so sign him.
