Trust me Chicago, you don’t want this man to be the HC of your team. Not a head coach….doesn’t have a clue.

I for one hopes he’s stays in MN. The guy knows how to get the best out of the players as a linebacker coach.

This is NOT a Rooney Rule interview. The Bears satisfied the Rooney Rule when they interviewed Keith Armstrong from the Falcons…

If Emery actually hires Singletary, then any credibility he has is instantly gone. Singletary would be an epic disaster. He’s not a HC

Its not really an interview. Phil Emery just wants to hang out for a while. Rooney Rule fulfilment and a nice lunch? Two birds with one stone!

Let them hire that joke of HC. The Bears won’t be winning
anytime soon. Just ask the 49ers! What a mistake he was
for us!

The coach that Emery is really after
is a mystery. but I belive Greg Roman is his man. thats the first name he went after and the only one he hasnt interviewed yet. I wouldnt be mad if he hire Carmichael Jr. or Mike McCoy. Emery is not that dumb to bring in Singletary.

Emery is hurting his trust level with
the fans. the players are already walking sideways away from him. he needs to hire a Good offensive
coordinator with a good system and fast

Great motivator not a good head coach

Note the report says that Singletary’s name is being added to the hat at the suggestion of the McCaskey’s. Emery’s gonna do this to please his bosses and then get back to interviewing the people he actually wants to consider.

It’s a shame that someone like Mike Singletary hasn’t worked out as a head coach. He’s phenomenal as a linebackers coach (he taught Ray Lewis everything he knows), but somehow his methods don’t translate to head coach. It’s worth mentioning that he did set Vernon Davis straight, but I guess he isn’t the master motivator that we had all expected he would be.

Add another to the list. I don’t think #50 is the answer here. I loved him as a player but I don’t think he has the touch to be a HC. He didn’t do well in SF and that’s because he’s a coordinator at best!

No way! Hire Trestman, NOW!

Mike Singletary the defense minded pants dropping ass clown gets an interview but Mike Holmgren the offense minded guru who went to 3 Super Bowls isn’t on the list ? Great. I’m sure Bears fans will get all fired up if CFL refugee Marc Trestman gets the nod.

Man, he was awful in SF. Bring him in as defensive coordinator.

Clearly Mike is at best an average coach, just look what Jim Harbaugh did with the same talent.

One would imagine the Bears are interviewing Singletary to remember what NOT to look for in a coach…..

Singletary is great at coaching the linebacker position, but a horrible head coach. Just because he was a great player, doesn’t mean he will be a great head coach.

rooney rule and a favor from bears ownership. this guy was an atrocious head coach with the niners. look at the turnaround when harbaugh took over. of course it is possible singletary has matured a la belechick. but i doubt it.

I love how active Emery is in his search for a new coach. I never understand why teams don’t broaden their search more instead of just limiting it to a select few candidates. With that being said, I love Singletary the player, not the coach. Harbaugh took basically the same roster Singletary had and went to the NFC Championship game. Clear example of a good coach vs a mediocre/bad coach.

I think it is good they are interviewing Samurai Mike. Lovie’s teams played hard and with exception on the offensive side of the ball he was a good coach for the Bears but he never brought back and helped any of the retired Bear players that were trying to get into coaching.. You can’t tell me Lovie’s BFF Babich is a better LB coach than Singletary. But we should still get a HC with an offensive background.
