"I have never seen anything like this in all my life," Wannstedt told David Haugh and Mike Mulligan during his regular spot on their show.
There are almost as many people doing the interviews as there are people being interviewed. This is what bothers Wannstedt.
"I've been involved in a lot of coaching searches, and maybe I'm in the dark ages because I want to run the ball and nobody thinks you run the ball anymore in the NFL and that's fine,"
Wannstedt told WSCR. "You know, go ahead, maybe I'm in the dark ages because when I interviewed with the general manager, him and I looked each pther in the eye, we wet through everything that I thought I had to have to win, he laid out the plan (of) what they could and couldn't do on their end and then if he liked it he went back and talked to the owner and I went in and met with the owner and they offered me the job."
The Bears continue to come under fire for their lengthy list of candidates interviewing, but they also have been blasted by a former coach for who interviews.

They even brought up a good point how it also makes you look cheap. This is after Dan Quinn had to fly coach last hiring cycle.
I even saw an article where one of the interviewees off the record said he was a little shocked by the process
We got rid of our coach what, five or six weeks ago....why don't we seem more advanced in the process
I hope it's not like the last cycle, where they're also interviewing for potential coordinators and they push someone on to the new coach. That's what they did with Thomas Brown and Waldron. Waldron saw what it was, and didn't even give Thomas Brown much responsibility, because he wasn't his own. And are you going to get quality coaches forcing staff on them?
