Have to figure that Pep, Urlacher, Briggs and Tillman have at most 2 (most likely 1) year left playing at an elite level. Let them play out their prime and then determine if Lovie is the coach of the future. The new GM can focus on plugging holes on D and starting the rebuild of the offense now. Angelo deserved to lose his job, and the timing is pretty good as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gar Forman has proven to be pretty good, but you're right about both. KW has a championship and they don't. Granted, right now both are doing better, but neither have the all-important ring.

Jenksismyhero Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jan 3, 2012 -> 09:50 AM) Hub is reporting on The Score that Irsay went to Bill Polian and told him to fire his son (there were people revolting inside the organization against Chris), and Bill refused, so they both got fired. Hub said the Bears should call Bill Polian right away. Because the Colts showed this season that they have a stockpile of talent after Manning... I'll pass on Polian.

Interesting choice. I personally would like a proven commodity, but beyond Cowher/Fisher who probably want to coach, McKenzie might be the best first-time GM candidate. If we hire from another organization, I would hope it would be from Green Bay, New England, San Francisco, Baltimore or Pittsburgh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord chas Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Wouldnt the bears want lovie gone as well? Why would a GM want to draft guys for his type of defense if he might not be around for more than a year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll pass on Polian. The point Hub was making is that many in the Colts org feel that the team went down hill after Bill turned the team over to his son. The drafts and player management was bad after Chris took over. Bill built it, and Chris ruined it.

I'd love it if they hired McKenzie. Hard to single them out right now, they(as in George) did what we have been asking them to do for the past 3 years. Besides, Hegone33 is just trying to get a rise out of bears fans right now, since his perennial contender 49ers has shown everyone how to win their division with regularity over the past 5 years like the Bears have.
