WindyCity Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 If Fox gets let go, Ryan Pace gets a pass on the hire. That was a Ernie Accorsi, George McCaskey hireBoth jobs. Heavily involved in the interview process. Basically Pace was told that was the coachBoth jobs. Heavily involved in the interview process.

Sugashane Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Hopefully Pace gets to walk in and ask if they're happy, then gets to pick his own coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinz D. Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Eek. Hopefully the McCaskey's are willing to eat the remainder of Fox's contract, as he doesn't even want to be there any more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blkwdw13 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 If they don't hit this next coaching hire out of the park then the franchise is going to be a dumpster fire for the foreseeable future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DABEARSLCF04 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I thought this was already common knowledge. I don't think anything will change till the Bears are out of the McCaskey's control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronMike84 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I really don’t care who picked Fox. First off, it’s water under the bridge now, and it made sense at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a family business and they’re making money hand over fist. This is what they do, even if they do it poorly. What’s their incentive to sell?

The fit has always been weird seeing as how Pace’s background was with a team run on the field completely the opposite of the way Fox wants to do things, specifically in terms of offensive philosophy. Fox is more than happy to try to win 17-14 every week. That could not be more anti-Saints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's right, they try to win 37-34 every week. lol Really the more I see what Pace has done and is from, the more sense Lafleur and Reich make. Both tend to get pass happy, but attack defenses and spread the ball around. Lafleuer does more dink and dunk work though, and Goff does not hit all levels of the field nearly as much as Wentz, probably being one of the less aggressive but more efficient passers this year. Reich's offense is FAR more vertical and Wentz is probably the most aggressive passer in the NFL (or close to it). Lafleur is younger but has more coaching experience than Reich, so it will be interesting to see if that plays a role in who Pace would try to pursue (assuming Fox is fired).

topwop1 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 If this is true then Pace absolutely deserves to stay and hire his own hand picked guy Fox is trash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current passing game pieces we have that are likely to stay behind 2017 (Shaheen, Meredith & Inman) are all big receivers making me think the vertical passing game of Reich may be a better fit. And FWIW the top FA options at WR (Adams, Watkins, Robinson) are also all good deep threats. To my recollection Mitch was the best deep ball passer coming out too.

But I agree the hire wasn't a bad one when it was made. Fox wasn't really tainted goods. Although he sure as hell is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
