This has been the weirdest hiring process ever. Interviewing GM's and head coach candidates sided by side. Supposedly Davis is looking at package deals with Ziegler/McDaniels or Dodds/Harbaugh. The speculation changes daily as there were rumors that Dodds blew them away a few days ago and Ziegler/McDaniels went cold but interviewing McDaniels clearly means that's not the case and Dodds isn't 100% for the GM. I personally don't like McDaniels at all as I think he's a weasel. That said he learned to cheat and win from the best and most of the really good head coaches are not very likeable men (Harbaugh, Reid, Belichick, Payton, Carroll, etc). I'm at the stage where I will take an unleakable coach that wins over a nice guy that doesn't.
Sounds like Bisaccia has been told he is out as rumours are he may join the Bears as their special teams coordinator. If that happens it's a good move for the Bears as I have never heard a coach more loved by players and if things ever go south with Eberflus they have a great interim coach.

Really from who? There were rumours that the job had been offered to him weeks ago but it's really hard to say at this point the way Davis is all over the map. For what it's worth he still hasn't signed a deal with Michigan and Dodds withdrew his name from the Bears but interviewed with the Raiders so it's still very possible although it was rumoured that Harbaugh wanted a Gruden type deal and Davis is hesitant to do that again (for good reasons). Like I said this is a unique approach of looking at GM/coach packages. Time will tell if it's the right way to do things.
