Oh geez, John Clayton just speculated that the Bears would go after Brian Kelly

 

Jack Dowling unexpectedly resigns.

Clayton said a lot of weird things.

 

Yeah I'm a few minutes behind. Right now he's talking about how the Bears should agressively go after Andy Reid and pay him what he wants.

 

Yeah, wtf. PASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

#Bears holding a team meeting at 11am CT. Players will be available after. No other members of the organization will speak today.

 

That's bizarre

Why, isn't that just a last chance for Lovie & coaches to talk with the team?

It's weird that a GM would fire a head coach and then not have some member of the FO talk to the media about that decision.

If you want to pass a lot, Reid is your guy.

Weird that the players are going to talk about the coach being fired but not even a comment from the FO? I'm not saying they need a full fledged press conference on New Years eve to discuss, but I figured there would be some sort of comment to verify the decision.

Lovie met with the players this morning and thanked them. It hit the players hard.

[Banedon]

Emery press conference tomorrow at 10am.

feel free Devin

@ZachZaidman

An emotional Devin Hester says he's not sure he wants to play for the Bears anymore. He is furious at Lovie Smith's firing.

[Butterscup1679666578]

That works out for us Devin because you're completely useless right now.

Devin: "You all got what you all wanted"

[Soul]

Gee Devin, maybe you shouldn't have sucked a crap ton then.

[Wilson A2000]

If he retires his cap hit is erased right?

Two birds with one stone!

Color me surprised. The players reaction is going to be the sucky part of this whole thing. I hate that most of the team is upset and I wish there was a way to make it work with Lovie. But his fatal flaw was the people he surrounded himself with. I think he's a fine head coach...some may adamantly disagree....but the main issuews that he had no clue about 1/2 the game. And he failed to align himself with people who did at the current NFL level. The players are professional they'll get over it. And ultimately it s their fault. The giants hated Coughlin but got 2 rings with him. Who cares if the next guy I'd a players coach...winning will cure all. Lovie didn't win enough.

[Banedon]

I'm sure it's a knee jerk reaction and cooler heads will prevail. Players are gonna say silly things in the aftermath of an emotional day like today.

[UMFan83]

Haha, Devin is pissed that he will never be called a number 1 WR anymore. I'm surprised he didn't just go all the way and throw out the race card or something.

[davell]

Going after McCoy sounds like the right idea, but I'll play devils advocate on that one somewhat. How much did he really have to do with everything this year? Peyton kind of brings his own show to town anyway......
