2023 Carroll led a meh Seahawks roster to a 9-8 record and Geno freakin' Smith made the Pro Bowl.
Geno Smith 2023: 20 TDs 9 INTs 92.1 QB rating 8-7 record
Geno Smith 2024: 21 TDs 15 INTs 93.2 QB rating 10-7 record
So...Geno had a slightly worse year in 2024? Ok.

Where are you getting that? He had a better year in 2024.

This is true. But Smith having a better year in 24 than he did in 23 doesn’t mean that Carroll is washed. His resurgence came under Carroll. But I get it. You’re not a Carroll fan. I just happen to think that he’d bring forth the right thing for this particular team.

His resurgence came under Shane Waldron who Carroll was going to fire and Dave Canales the QB coach in 2022 who is now the Panthers head coach. Carroll is a defensive coach CEO type he lets his coordinators do there thing. What Carroll was known for defense, hasn't been good in 8 years. So his upside based on his last years in Seattle is a .500 coach and since he will be 74 to start the season (which would make him the oldest coach in NFL history beating George Halas at 72 and Romeo Crennel at 73) so you are looking to also hire his successor. Gus Bradley is available, does that work for you?

Glad to see you agree Geno did not perform better after Carroll's departure.

GMs are so hard to predict who will be good. You just done know until they are on the job. So much luck involved in the draft. Everyone says Chris Ballard is the best but he cant seem to figure out the QB position and was almost fired this off season. For my 49ers John Lynch has done a good job and he had no experience doing it before.

The Bears are still the different, weird kid down the block. And they don’t want to change that. If the Bears strike out on the top names, we will know why it happened, and how avoidable it would have been.
Over/under on 24 interview candidates? I think 30 is in play

So, because they are interviewing more candidates than most people think they should, the process is laughable? I mean, besides the number of candidates that they are interviewing, what are they really doing that’s all that different? We came into the office season with 6 openings. One got filled and another one (Dallas) just opened up. It’s not like all the top candidates are flying off the shelves right now.

There’s a perception out there that they appear outwardly like they don’t know what they are doing, or looking for. They interview over a dozen OC candidates, and come up with Shane Waldron. They bring everyone in the NFL for their HC process, and it begins to be a chuckle nationally. They neglect to bring in all the top quarterbacks during the last draft, and come up with the worst one so far. Everything they do is wrong. All of the sudden being different is supposed to serve them well. Ok.

Fleet, half of the things that you just mentioned don’t have anything to do with this particular search. It’s just another airing of personal grievances which you continue to do (Mike Brown alert)…..
Over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over….well, you get the point.
We understand your position. But it’s as if you’re willing it to happen a certain way just to be right. Why not just sit back and let it play out?? If you’re that confident that they are going to screw this up, just chill and let it happen. I promise you. I’ll eat the crow. I crap you not.

The Bears just have to tune out all the negative Nellies and go about their business. Until they find some success on the field, the media and fans are going to continue to mock them and portray them as bumbling idiots.
