MacReady Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I liked John Fox in Chicago a lot. Disliked Vic Fangio in Chicago. This firing is bittersweet. Hoping Fangio goes up to Green Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Capers finally get canned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea why the Bears didn't fire Fox like 3 weeks ago and just let Fangio coach the team. Guy deserves a chance to show what he can do as a HC.

Guy deserves a chance to show what he can do as a HC. Like Fangio said at one time in so many words, if he were an offensive minded coach he would have already had an opportunity. Times have changed. Teams with a heavily invested young QB are looking more towards offensive-minded coaches to help develop the most important position on the field. For the most part, the only teams that would lean towards hiring a defensive minded HC is either due to the lack of available options at the time or if they already have a good, veteran starting QB in place.

Never thought he would have been a worse coach than Trestman, but undoubtedly was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bears have been downright boring (in addition to bad) under Fox. Hopefully Bisky ends up top 10 so at the very least you got a QB out of this tenure.

If there is one thing about Fox, he has helped each franchise get their QB (Newton, Peyton, and Trubisky). lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can practically rule out every HC that is set to make over the league average as a candidate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds as if they realize they have no clue what they are doing and letting Pace get him, hence why they had to hire Accorsi to find Pace and hired Fox (who was NOT Pace's choice). Phillips has said Pace will get to pick his own coach. I'm sure they will be involved by sitting in interviews or asking questions, but ultimately it is Pace's choice (allegedly).

George Halas was cheap and not willing to spend (there is a famous Ditka quote: "Halas throws pennies around like manhole covers"), but the McCaskeys and Ted Phillips spend whenever they need to. The problem is they don't often spend it in the right ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is they don't often spend it in the right ways. When it comes to the players, sure. But not the HC position. Any coach that demands over the average gets shot down immediately. They fire Lovie after a 10 win season, who iirc, coincidentally only had 1 year left on his extended contract. Could've had Quinn or Gase but that extra quarter mil(equally the median average in 2015) would've broke the bank so they let them walk and instead hire a guy they knew wasn't looking for a big payout after the money that he had already made by coaching two superbowl teams. And among all of this...they still had the nerve to give Turner of ALL coaches an extension, TWICE (sort of)? I could go back even further such as 'stedt days but I'm sure you get point. The McCaskey's do not give two ****s about the team anymore. They care only about taking advantage of teh location market and filling their own pockets. I still get sick when I think about a game that Virginia had supposedly attended(possibly a PO game) and her spokesperson (or maybe one of her son's-don't remember) said "oh....Virginia is very pissed" or something along those lines. Are you effin kidding me? Who are you trying to fool here lady - you probably didn't even know who the QB was. It was a disgrace and only further showed exactly where their priorities really are. Crap liek this has been going on for decades man and until I see it, I won't believe that it will ever change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
