This is pretty cool. He says Passing Coordinator, Thomas Brown is a rising coaching star in the NFL. He coached under McVay, and has interviewed for multiple OC jobs... Swifty says "he is the opposite of a Matt Nagy" and has play calling experience. Swift believes Ryan Poles already has a succession plan for when Shane Waldron gets his head coaching gig.

Sounds like the Bears finally got the coaching staff right after a rocky beginning. On a side note, Swifty says this is the best Bears coaching staff he has seen in his lifetime. I can't wait to see what this coaching staff can do this year.

I’m intrigued about Flus stepping up more than the others. He alone cost us a couple games last season with his lack of aggressiveness and playing not to lose.

I'm hoping he learns from his mistakes, like Ryan Poles has (Claypool was just one) and that Eberflus develops & matures into being a solid HC for us. When a team hires a rookie GM, or rookie HC, they inevitably make their share of mistakes. Some never learn and are busts. Others become better... Bill Belichick was a good example, after being fired by the lowly Cleveland Browns. He became a better coach after that. Maybe even the greatest coach in the history of the NFL.

My eyes are on 'Flus this year so see if he can improve. I hope so. I remind myself that some of the greatest coaches in the NFL were defense-minded guys... and some of the best HCs right now are defense-minded guys (Houston's HC, DeMeco Ryans is just one example). I don't buy that crap that you "have" to have an offense guy as your head coach. That has never been true. Some D guys can win. My hope is that Eberflus is one.
