dasox24 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 29, 2014 -> 05:00 PM) So Ernie Accorsi is helping with the hiring. I like this. Accorsi was very good with the Giants. Hope he helps find us a solid GM. I read a book a few years ago called The GM. It focuses on Accorsi's last season (2006) as the Giants GM. Pretty good read. I know he isn't our GM and it's only a short-term hire, but it made me think of the book. Anyone who likes football and reading about front-office decision making would like it.

StrangeSox Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 They have excellent communication! They talk to each other! Whew, I was really worried there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 "Is this a sign that you don't have an idea of what you want? Or do you consider this normal?" in reference to Accorsi, haha. They just said it was a tool, blah blah. I'd really like much more info on what Accorsi is doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipps Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I haven't heard any of this press conference but by your reactions it sounds like its the same ol Bear circus. That is disappointing. I was hopeful they would have handled this right. They really had to get this right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly, I was hoping Cowher would come out of retirement and be a president of operations even though I know a lot would hate. So, yay for accorsi, nay for it meaning we are getting a very traditional chairman - phillips - GM - Coach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if they've got a strong GM candidate who wants full control, he'd turn it over. Here's hoping, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxfest Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 This is sad knowing Ted and George are making the final decision, I wish these guys would sell. Bear fans deserve so much better than the McCaskey clan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitetrain8601 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 No one asking the real tough questions that fans care about. Same ole at Halas. How are you going to hire a coach before the GM? And how do you allow Mel Tucker to stay another day? He's the first guy you should've fired for job performance. It'll be no different than a few years ago when they hired Emery and Trestman. SMDH. Good luck Bears fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipps Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Wait...so Tucker is still employed with the Bears? I thought his firing would just be a given since he was brought in by Emery who is now fired. This organization cant help but be fun bad with everything they do.

They basically said the reason they fired Kromer was because of his actions with the locker room thing. Every other position player will be decided on by the new coach, as is custom.
