BobIwabuchiFan Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 I guess Tim is available now....would have been nice to know? Quote
gfhockey Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 maybe could have got him to be a DC but I think schdmit will doo well we do need a special teams coach? Quote
homer Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Schmidty will do fine as D Cord. It would be awesome if somehow we could put some money together to get Tibs back here for even one year in some capacity. He would boost the staff even further and help player development so much with his knowledge and experience. Very unlikely I know, but I can wish. Quote
Hayduke Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Can't afford him. He'll end up in the NFL somewhere. Or at a BCS school. Quote
Westside Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 It would've been a long shot to get Tibesar to UND as HC. He's not coming back as a position coach. Worst case scenario for Tibesar is he ends up as a LB coach at an FBS school. Like Hayduke said we can't afford him. Quote
geaux_sioux Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 What sucks for him is that his coaching didn't make all his lbs get injured this year. Somebody had to be the fall guy I guess. Quote
Siouxperfan7 Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 Tibesar is awesome....but the Bears suck!! Quote
Hayduke Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 What sucks for him is that his coaching didn't make all his lbs get injured this year. Somebody had to be the fall guy I guess. He appeared to be the fall guy for their defensive problems. Other teams aren't stupid enough to believe that was his fault. He'll land on his feet. Quote
ksixpack Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 For those of you that said he would never consider UND because he is making 350K in the NFL, as he and the rest of you just found out, the NFL is not forever and 200-400K per year at UND for a long time, possibly the rest of his career if everything went as planned is more then 350K for one year. Yes 400+K would easily be his earnings in future years at UND if he had any mild success at all and that success would be totally dependent on his performance as head coach... his success is not as controlled as an assistant coach, especially in the NFL. Job security and safe earnings potential was much greater as the head coach of UND. I am sure he would have applied if he knew he would have been out of a job at the end of the year. It will most likely be awhile before he makes it back to the NFL again...rookie coaches that get fired generally do not get rehired right away in the NFL. As Jerry Glanville once said the NFL stands for Not For Long. It's not always about the money, especially when the money is here today and gone tomorrow...job security and safe earning potential should always be considered when making career decisions. 1 Quote

Are you making the case he should have applied? Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Are you making the case he should have applied? Yes he is and I agree with him. College coaches that win have much more job security than NFL coaches (head or otherwise). Quote
UNDBIZ Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Yes he is and I agree with him. College coaches that win have much more job security than NFL coaches (head or otherwise). To be fair, NFL coaches who win and are not named Marty Schottenheimer also keep their jobs. 2 Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 To be fair, NFL coaches who win and are not named Marty Schottenheimer also keep their jobs. The NFL is more fickle than college. You have the salary cap, free agency, neurotic owners and general managers looking for a scapegoat when things go wrong. It is tougher to sustain long-term success in the NFL than it is in college.

They love recycling coaches though. Once you're in, you usually get a handful of chances. Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 They love recycling coaches though. Once you're in, you usually get a handful of chances. Yeah, you are right. I think Tibesar will get hired by someone before the 2014 campaign starts. Quote
jdub27 Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Yeah, you are right. I think Tibesar will get hired by someone before the 2014 campaign starts. Not sure of his current NFL connections other than with Trestman, but I wouldn't be surprised. Quote
ksixpack Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Are you making the case he should have applied? No, because I do not know what his true ambitions are, but I am making a case for the many that thought it was ridiculous for him to apply because of the money...so many cannot see the forest through the trees. 1 Quote
BobIwabuchiFan Posted February 14, 2014 Author Posted February 14, 2014 Does anyone know where Tim Tibesar landed after losing his job with the Bears? Quote
Woden Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Does anyone know where Tim Tibesar landed after losing his job with the Bears? You got me looking and I couldn't find anything. However, I did see that he was involved in a lawsuit with K-State. Anyone know anything about this? Quote
82SiouxGuy Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Does anyone know where Tim Tibesar landed after losing his job with the Bears? He's taking a long, paid vacation. He had at least another year left on his contract, so he's still getting paid for the year. Quote
zonadub Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 So, does anyone know what Tibesar is doing now? Could he make the switch from defense to offense? Or maybe Bollinger has decided he wants to return to coaching... Quote
zonadub Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Just saying after watching the Packers destroy the Bears that Tibesar was probably picked to be the scapegoat with the Bears defense. Not very impressed with Rudolph so far this season. Quote
