No clue about BR hoops. The IHSA needs to fix the way teams are moved up. MC moves to 8A next year after they win one year they should move up after one not after winning three in a row. Same with Nazareth. There is also the multiplier and in the case of Depaul and St Laurence enrollment growth that is not counted yet but will next year. Brother Rice could be in 5A next year although they elect to move up in baseball so who knows. Marist may be 6A but if that gets them ESL they may elect to move to 7A. 7A in some regards is easier than 6A.

What has he done in his 20 months time on the job. The OC hiring and retaining Eberflus shows me he is either bad at the job or was very hands off. Stadium thing seems to be no further along and is predicated on who they can shake down the most at the government level. They should have brought in someone with IL government ties then for that role like a Lisa Madigan. The fact that Waldron won the job over Kingsbury or Arthur Smith is a bad look and retaining Eberflus is another bad look. Poles can hang on to the Massive Carolina trade for another year maybe two before his seat gets hot and Warren another 5+

How does his firing show they are serious? Yesterday's ending was beyond embarassing. Thomas Brown will be given remainder of this year and next as HC. They are not a serious organization.

This plan worked well with Vaughn who was move somewhat kind of a little bit more proven...I guess #green

He is to the White Sox like Centers are for the Bears nw OC's. A guy the new guy likes.

Football is as much about coaching as it is players. The Bears have failed miserably in evaluating Eberflus and their stupid defense first mantra. Idiots, the whole lot of them.

They would love the GRATE then Jerry can move to the Neverland place that will not support his failing endeavor. He can take the White Sox name with him if he'd like. Start anew and I will back them.

I still believe Kevin Warren's time in the BIG 10 is as much to do with Harbaugh as the McCAskey's idiocy running a football team.

The likelihood of them going 9-8 is on par with Chris Getz saving a year of learning by a new GM. If everything went right they were not finishing the year 4-4 based on the quality of opponents. They needed to be 6-3 at this point to maybe make the playoffs.

While not fully his fault his first free agent signing failed his physical I believe.

I view the Bears never aiming big for anyone or anything as going on the cheap. Yes their facilities have been upgraded to NFL standards but what gives the appearance of them being more fiscally aggressive than Reinsdorf? Kevin Warren hasn't really done anything as President of football operations to lead me to believe that he is a force for this organization. My guess with him is that his time with the BIG had a role in Harbaugh not coming to the Bears. That was a move that I am not certain was ever even investigated by the Bears. The fact Eberflus was hired, retained and remains while the OC role he has hired twice (now third one in less than three full years) was just handed to a less qualified candidate then the prior two Bozos. Getsy's tenure in LV was less than Waldron's shows me how bad a hire he was. Little has changed under Warren/Poles compared to the prior clown cars. If not for Carolina maybe being a worse organization, I am not certain Poles and Warren are any better than the other failures that arrive daily to 1920 Football Drive. Eberflus should have never been hired and certainly never been retained. They will end up 4-13 this year and will be starting over again. They will hire a new staff of cheap inexperienced field staff and hope it goes well. Hiring Waldron over Kingsbury was to protect their ego and pocketbook.

The parallels with the Bears, White Sox and Bulls when it comes to simply hiring the cheapest candidates available is really something to behold.

That is kind of missed in this comparative. Pennix, Daniels and Nix seemed to be in college for ever.

The team has been run by the accountant (Phillips) and ticket manager (George) for the last 15 years. You wonder why they seem to be behind in the times.

Bloom is quickly fading off of the Poles rose. If not for the Carolina trade the Bears are no better off today then they when he took the job. The Alpha coach was a conversation yesterday and will continue to pop up that Warren and Poles are not hiring the correct person due to their insecurities and/or fiscal restraint. Ben Johnson is going to want $12M. Virginia and George are not going for that. The next coaching regime will be the same cast of cheap dolting yes men.
