Toub

[dlockz]

He was under contract with the Bears who could deny any interview unless for the HC position and they also put a 2 week exception on him being hired by anyone else, so yes despite your lack of not knowing who he is the man is respected.

Did I ever say I did not know who the man is , Im probably as familiar with who is on nfl coaching staffs as anybody on this board. The league is full of respected coaches. We are the only team that interviewed him for head coach so yes he is very respected as a special teams coach but obviously no staff outside of miami views him as as a head coach. Also his contract has been up before and nobody offered him a higher level assisstant job. I would love to have Toub as a member of our staff I just dont feel like he has proven himself to be a head coach. The NFl overall has shown how they view the position of special teams coach/coordinator in relation to other jobs on the staff, they dont look at these guys until they prove to be a head coach in college or another league or until they move up. Lovie Smith could have made him assisstant head coach but he chose Rod Marinelli. his own team has not promoted him above special teams and he has been there since 2004 so why should we make him our head coach. Seems like a great knowledgeable guy that in his specialty is very good. Also yes I get it John Harbaugh was a special teams coach but to even get an interview Reid had make him dbacks coach. Im not going to be all in on a special teams coach because once in the history that I know of the NFL one has became a head coach and he seems to be a good one.If Toub is so good how come the Ravens chose Harbaugh over him for the interview(means nothing really but if you are the so called best special teams coach why did they interview a lesser guy).

NUB:

i have to agree. wasnt real thrilled at first, but the more i read about him and see some video, i really like him. i like his demeanor, he is a hi energy guy.

not an arm waving rah-rah ranter, but a productive coach who can teach. and thats the big part, enthusiasm and ability to teach.

i dont get the zimmer buzz at all. one game doesnt make a coach but he failed miserably in the bengals playoff game and the bengals big success came from the offense upswing with there new qb. what exactly is the "mike zimmer" defense? i like guys who hang there hat on something. a calling card, a philosophy. TOUB has his stamp on special teams.

and those kind of coaches bring in guys like them who can teach and love the game and are productive!!

TOUB is my choice right now if were going coordinator. he is in the middle with s-teams and wont favor offense or defense in the draft. he will get what we NEED for the team with no bias.

plus, toub is not a kid like todd bowles. he isnt a geezer either and that means he will command respect as a mature man.

dave toub looks real good right now. bill cowher was an s-team coach and he turned out ok.

when i read that ross now favors YOUNG hungry coaches my mind imediately went TODD BOWLES. here it comes. and i am sick that this is going to happen. i am holding out with hope, but i smell it. and i dont like it!!! the young part aced it for me and he is priming the masses, chumming the water with his "well, as i said, i like young hungry coaches" while introducing todd bolwes as the dolphins head coach.

DAVE TOUB! i'm with ya NUB.

Toub is one year older than Bowles so that makes him a kid and Toub not lol. Also as someone else said Cowher proved himself as a dc before he became head coach.,

say what you want about Toub, but Chicago does NOT want to lose him

They also dont want to promote him

Bears fan here....its pretty clear why he isnt the assistant head coach. If anything happened to Lovie they wanted someone with experience to step into his place. Why would you throw Toub into the fire like that? If you guys dont hire him this year he will definately be in the running if Lovie gets fired next year.

Btw I saw someone mention you want to hire him as a ST coach. He wont leave Chicago for a lateral move.

But he is a really head coach and has alot of respect around the league. I saw some people concerned with his staff. Im sure he already has an idea of who that would be. He would of had to present that in his 1st or 2nd interview. He knows both sides of the ball. I think better than some of the guys your looking at right now.

If you have any questions feel free to ask :)
