@JayGlazer: John Fox's new 4 year deal with the Chicago Bears is done. He is now the new head coach of Chicago! Done deal

[Banedon]

Beat me twice!

SEVENTY FIVE ‏@Ky1eLong 8m8 minutes ago

Met Coach Fox night before I participated in the combine in passing at dinner. Now he's my coach. Was a very likable dude!! Let's roll

[jersey cubs fan]

My prediction

 

 

Caller: Do you think Fox wants to keep Cutler as his quarterback?

 

Bernstein: Forget about Cutler. Forget about this year. This isn't about the next year or Cutler or anybody about any Bears player. That isn't important. These guys are going to focus on the process going forward.

@JayGlazer

 

Fox said Ryan Pace made all the difference to him in going to that spot. Again, done deal 4 years new Bears head coach

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I generally prefer trying to find the next big thing than going with an experienced guy, but this is pretty good. No complaints.

4 years is kind of interesting. 5 seems like the standard.

More money over fewer years? No salary has come out yet.

@DanBernstein

 

Lots of happy #Bears people right now. I'm told Pace ran the whole process "like a star", completely in control. Ownership very pleased.

 

@DanBernstein

 

Pace initiated the meeting in Denver with Fox. Wanted more face-time while contract details were being finalized. #Bears

It is a little interesting, and I think the storyline of Fox being a transitional coach has some legs. But he's turning 60 soon and a 4-year contract seems perfectly reasonable. Trestman signed a 4-year deal.

 

Fox is very similar to Lovie and his deal was for 4 years.

[Guest]

I thought Trestman was 5 years too for some reason. I'm hopeful it means something into regards to him being transitional.

John Fox and the Bears expected to try to interview Mike Mularkey as OC, source says. Titans denied TB's request. Let's see what happens.

Trestman was here for 2 years and had 2 years remaining when fired.

They denied a TE coach? That's a dick move.

 

 

Well, then again the guy is a 2-time failed head coach, so he isn't a struggling position coach looking for his first big payday, and may still be getting paid by Jacksonville.

Looks like he was pretty darn good as OC in ATL. Obviously he was a terrible HC.

This line from his Wikipedia made me lol

 

His second season in Buffalo was far less successful. Dogged by a quarterback controversy between J.P. Losman and Kelly Holcomb
