Tough to call it just yet but you have to wonder about the wisdom of having a CEO whose going over his GM's head to hire a HC AND won't hire coaches his HC badly wants to have or keep.  And I don't buy Murphy's bit that it was all up to LaFleur anymore than I believe John Fox was ever Ryan Pace's first choice for HC after he was hired.

Not only does this remind me of how we ended up with Emery/Trestman over maybe hiring Toub or Arians and keeping Marinelli as DC and Emery also insisting on replacing him with Mel Tucker but it also harkens back to when Mikey was in charge and he announced hiring Dave McGinnis before they had agreed on a contract and the level of McGinnis' authority over hiring his staff.  That McCaskey was notoriously cheap about coaching hires.

Thank God we no longer have that problem and it's showing up in the W/L column.  Not only do we have one of the better rosters in the NFL but we also have one of the best coaching staffs.

I glossed over the part where Murphy hired LaFluer.  That is big.  

They claim it was unanimous.

How unanimous was lowballing La Fleur's pick for ST Coordinator?  9_9

They claim they offered him everything he wanted before he left.  I guess they still pissed him off enough to walk.

Whole lotta people now claiming things that aren't true.  Seems the operative thinking is some won't bother to fact check and with others is you repeat a lie often enough the chumps may finally believe it. 

Call me a skeptic simply because he signed with NOLA and reportedly got exactly what he asked for.  So something doesn't mesh here.

I'm told you can now actually run a country that way. Odd. o.O

I've been in this league since it's inception 5 or 6 years ago and gotta say it's pretty fun. This is a pretty decent team too. Is anyone interested?

The Cubs really need to get something setup with Trubisky, KB, and Javy.  Chicago's young superstars

There's a ton in Chicago. Moncada, Anderson and Jimenez for the Sox. Castillo, Baez and Bryant for the Cubs. The obvious guys for the Hawks.This could be a fun next 5-7 years
