Hitman52 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 I'm not sure what y'all's opinion on Sports mockery is but this article just came out referring to Vic disinterested in the Bears in the future. So all of us that were hoping maybe John Fox gets fired and him becoming interm coach or for him to possibly sticking around as defensive coordinator is not looking too good. http://sportsmockery.com/2017/11/the-fate-of-vic-fangio-in-chicago-just-became-crystal-clear/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G08 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Which is fine, honestly... I want a young, up-and-coming head coach to take over. I'm still pimping Josh McDaniels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though the only way I see Fangio sticking around as DC is if Jim Harbaugh is hired as HC, which is a longshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G08 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Someone would have to tell him that he can run the defense carte blanche and that the head coach won't bother or interfere at all. I think Fangio has gotten annoyed with Fox's meddling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogerthat Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Who cares if Vic stays. He is a good coach but he not wade Phillips or DickLebeau The bears can find a 3-4 defensive coach no problem and probably one that blitzes more. In addition I am not limiting my head coaching options by forcing a defensive coordinator on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main reason I think it would be good for him to stay is that the guys on D respect him already. It's not always a sure thing. Also who knows what his blitz percentage would be if he had sole control over play calling. But you are right is that juice of keeping him worth the squeeze, probably not.

G08 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 However, according to several sources close to the situation, Fangio being named an interim head coach won’t happen. The reason that won't happen, we’re hearing, is that the Bears front office already has a list of names to interview as potential head coach candidates going forward and Fangio's name isn’t on it.

He is an old school defensive coach in a new school offensive league. Defenses don't win championships anymore QBs do and vic doesn't coach QBs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yomyyo Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 The Bears are such a mess. Everyone wants off of the sinking ship. Fangio leaving is actually a good think, I think, as now the team can start with a clean slate for HC options; a coordinator will not be forced on candidates. Would Donatell be a good replacement? Presumably his retainment would provide some continuity, and his units have exceeded expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's coordinated some good defenses in his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
