Totally emotional thinking I admit.   I just don't know enough about Taylor and Waldren.  But Taylor did nothing in Cincincinnati and was not even the OC in LA.   A lot to like with Bieniemy but his long list of behavior issues is disturbing.

I want to have faith in Tobin and company.  But the brain trust has not been making a lot of good decisions lately.

I have a familiar ache in my stomach.

I like the process I see in Greenbay and Denver.  Did their due diligence, but knew what they wanted and did not dawdle and make an ill advised decision.

I just have so little confidence in this front office.

Denver would be in the same boat we are if the Bears' K hadn't choked.  They would have had to wait or go with their next best option.

I personally wanted them to go with a proven winner, but that's just not the direction they chose.  Unfortunately for us, guys like John Harbaugh and Pete Carroll who were on the hot seat turned things around and saved their jobs.  The only real option for that route turned out to be McCarthy, and some question if he is just a mediocre coach with a HoF QB.  Hue is a proven loser.  Vance Joseph seems like he would be Marvin 2.0 with a decent QB, good enough to make the playoffs but not good enough to be a serious contender unless he had a pair of great assistants.

Most of the fanbase wanted a young, offensive mind, and that appears to be what we're going to get.  Young also means unproven.  Monken appears to have the best resume.  Bienemy would be the big fan favorite pick that would move the most tickets.  Based on what McVay said, Taylor probably did great with his interview.  Any one of those guys, along with Waldron, Simmons, and Lazor is a complete crap shoot.  I can't really judge any of them until I see what they do.
