malak1 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 The prospect of Jim Harbaugh moves the needle for me, but is he even considering leaving Ann Arbor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugashane Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I'd love it if he would be available, and with Pace being young he might be able to keep up with Harbaugh's slightly overbearing (closest I can think of to the correct word) personality. But he is being paid a king's income and has complete control of the program at Michigan. Pace will still want the final say, so what would we provide that Michigan couldn't? Rumor says Chicago is his dream job, and losing in the Super Bowl HAS to eat at him being such a competitor. Maybe the pipe dream has a chance, but I wouldn't bet any money on it.

Madmike90 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I honestly think now is the time to take a risk when it comes to a HC...let's pair a young innovative offensive mind with Trubisky and get some expereinced coaches around him much like LA have done with McVay and Wade Phillips...right now I would love to see us going after KC OC Matt Nagy...that offence would fit perfectly with the guys we have right now...no doubt he is a risk but it's a strong risk...bring Gary Gibbs with him as associate HC given he was an HC at Oklahoma for 6 years...DC in the SEC & NFL and has 40 years expereince in coaching...plus has done an amazing job with the OLBs in KC he could help Leonard Floyd...bring in Dallas OL coach Frank Pollack as OC to develop out OL even further and allow Nagy to focus on install and play calling...then steal from the Andy Reid tree again and get Todd Bowles after he is let go in NY...Bowles & Nagy served on the same coaching staff in Reid's last year in Philly and this would be a great landing spot to try and rebuild for another shot at a top job.

G08 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 John Fox sucks as a head coach. He just ******* sucks. Fire his ***, I honestly don't even care who we bring in because no matter who the GM/Head Coach is in this organization, the end result is ALWAYS the same. This team will forever suck until ownership is run out of town -- look at the Cubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindyCity Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 John Fox should be fired today. 10-26 11 loses coming by 14 points or more. This team doesn't have the stones to do it right now, but let Loggains audition with Trubisky for the next 12 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topwop1 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I tried giving Fox the benefit of the doubt his first couple of seasons on the job due to a poor and young roster but now my patience with him is wearing pretty thin. If he's smart and has any hopes of saving his job then he will bench Glennon immediately, because right now he is the #1 problem that is killing this team with all those turnovers. Also, as much as the defense is playing well, you would think that a Fangio and Donatell led unit wouldn't be having the amount of breakdowns that they are having with the secondary. Lots of confusion on who is supposed to be covering who/where and it led to a couple of easy TD's for the Packers last night, and also in the 1st game against Atlanta. For an experienced coach like Fox in his 3rd year on the job this team is way too inconsistent and should be playing more consistent and disciplined football.

Hard to make a good case for him to stay but when has this franchise ever fired a coach mid season? It's never happened before and it never will. That's not how they operate.

Superman(DH23) Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Astonishing stat. In 16 seasons as a hc, john fox has had 6 winning seasons. Of those 6, 3 were with arguably the greatest qb of all time. This team fired Lovie Smith after a 10 win season, never finishing below 7-9 outside of his very first year as an hc. And 4 playoff appearances in 8 years including 1 superbowl loss and an nfccg loss. He also had 2 winning seasons that they didnt make the playoffs in. If Trubisky doesnt start week 5, this team is going to go the trestman route Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G08 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I felt bad for Fox because this team's roster was old and bad when he took over -- years and years of terrible drafting will do that to a franchise. Now that we are acquiring some talent, I am realizing he simply is a terrible head coach. Undisciplined players, horrible QB play, defensive busts, special teams gaffes, and unless Pace forbid him from playing Trubisky, why on Earth hasn't the kid gotten some snaps in garbage time? (for the record, I find it very hard to believe Pace put the kibosh on him because the kid is one injured Mike Glennon away from playing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id like to see Fox canned and Fangio promoted to interim. Im a huge fan of this defense. Pack hung 35 on us but that was mostly on Glennon. Defense played fine considering what Rodgers has done to us in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOGRIESE Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Supe why bring up Lovie Smith? He's coaching at Illinois and they have zero passing game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
