The more I read about Waldron the more I like about the hire.

Ahem, we said the same thing about Flus/Getsy. and Nagy. And Trestman. After 50+ years of watching Da Bears, I've had enough wool pulled over my eyes to clothe the entire Chinese Army. I'm on the wait and see train this time.

But as of right now, I like the hire too! Is it official yet?

The only difference is Waldron actually has a resume of play calling in the NFL and a track record. Getsy didn't, Nagy didn't, and Trestman did but it was 2 decades ago.

He seems to have a real track record in being able to coach up a QB into the scheme and simultaneously adapt the scheme to fit his QB's strong points. You can't do that unless you have a fundamentally sound knowledge of what you are doing. As well as having top notch people skills.

I really hope he has a central role in the decision on what to do with Fields and if we go after the best QB in the draft (and determining who that best QB is).

Sorry, but I uncorked the vintage Bear Kool-Aid as I started reading about this earlier this morning.

Wonder if he is versed in all of the Bears trick plays like the "throw them off the game 3rd down field goal attempt". I believe the Bears are the NFL pioneers there. No other team has had the coaching chops to attempt that vaunted play.

Most important thing for Waldron to master:

The false start-timeout-delay of game trifecta. Only HOF Nagy can do that shit.

We won't even bring in anyone for a tryout unless his agent first sends video (notarized) showing they can do that stuff. Non negotiable.

Hopefully we get a solid QB coach to go with Waldron. Wonder if Kubiack might be in play. He is a passing game coordinator or something now, coordinator sounds like a higher level position but I am not even sure all nfl teams have one of these so.....just hoping QB coach is capable of replacing Waldron if he gets a HC position in future.

Yup. In my mind, peak elevation jumping out of a pool is second in importance only to arm length. Speed of tying a double bowknot is third.

Kubiak is the 9ers "offensive passing game specialist"...which is apparently different than the offensive passing game coordinator, because it had him listed as that for the Broncos in his bio on the 9ers website. Its interesting that the 9ers have a "offensive run game coordinator" but not an "offensive pass game coordinator". I don't know what the rules are when it comes to that and if "pass game coordinator" would be a promotion or not. It also doesn't seem as if Kubiak has any position coaching responsibilities...so maybe that would be a "promotion" as well?

Another interesting this I saw perusing the 9ers coaching site, Klay Kubiak is the assistant QB coach there, and he is Klints younger brother. He played QB at Colorado State from 2005 to 2009.

Edit: I just checked the Rams coaching roster. They have a "pass game coordinator" AND a "pass game specialist". Zac Robinson is listed as the QB Coach/Pass Game Coordinator, and Jake Peetz is the "Pass Game Specialist"...so I guess they are two different positions and one would be a higher ranking job than the other.
