Harry Chappas Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 QUOTE (Soxfest @ Dec 30, 2014 -> 03:18 PM) Yep no surprise they will hire Ballard who is from the Angelo/Emery tree and ex 12 year Bear employee, who will not rock the boat and Phillips survives again. Sucks to expect real change with the McCaskey's Nothing has changed with this organization. Emery and Trestman were complete failures, there really was no other choice there. I am glad the 91 year old woman was even able to realize that. She has seen two championships since Sid Luckman retired. She should have been pissed decades ago not now. Somehow the media portrayed George McCasky as being the decision guy now. Wasn't he overseeing things when Emery was hired as well as Trestman. Nothing will change here, an under-qualified head coach and general manager will be hired and in five years they too will be fired. Virginia and the Queen of England can then begin another search for greatness after they are no longer pissed off. What a family of losers at least Wrigley left but he got to keep his name on the stadium and the other delusional cheap family dinosaur died. Virginia McCaskey could give two s***s about how successful the Bears are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasox24 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Dec 30, 2014 -> 04:13 PM) Can I nominate Tom Clements for HC? I wish the Packers hadn't denied us when Lovie wanted to interview him as OC several years ago. I like Clements a lot. Think he would have been good for us.

What concerns me about this is that we don't have a GM in place. I don't know if they are just trying to be proactive so that when we do hire a GM, we already have permission to interview these guys. Or if we're going to try to hire a GM and Head Coach separately. That usually isn't smart. Let the GM pick his coach. On that note, I love some Todd Bowles. I hear good things about Gase, but I'm also not sure how much of that offense is him vs Peyton. I already know the answer: a big portion of it is Peyton. Of course, that doesn't mean Gase is a bad coach either. People had the same concerns about McCoy and he's done well with San Diego. Completely turned around Rivers' career.

Possible someone could interview him and have a hire lined up during that period if the Bears don't at least show interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly we may have to wait 5 weeks for some of those guys. Would you really prefer we not interview them at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middle Buffalo Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 http://www.nfl.com/stats/categorystats?tab...;seasonType=REG So, statistically, Cutler's season was virtually identical to Phil Rivers. Rivers threw for 17yds/game more, but the rest is pretty similar (including tying for most INTs). Rivers choked away a playoff birth against a Chiefs team that was completely beat up. Yet, Rivers is a media darling. He's a great leader, teammate, husband, father,.... So much of the analysis of these players is based on media perception of their personalities. I'm not making excuses for Cutler. I don't have much confidence in him, but I wouldn't have much confidence in anyone not named Brady or Rodgers.

Dick Allen Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 QUOTE (Jake @ Dec 30, 2014 -> 11:39 AM) Maybe it would be better to say he might WANT Tucker. The last full season Del Rio was HC was the first that he allowed Tucker to call the plays on defense. They were ranked 5th by DVOA, and 6th in yardage, 7th by PFF. It was arguably the best defense he ever had as a head coach Even if the new coach wanted Tucker, there is no way he comes back as DC. Too huge of risk. Whether it is fair or not, Tucker is the one being blamed for the defensive problems. If he came back and that unit still sucked, the hit the Bears would take would be enormous.
