@MikeKlis

 

John Fox interviewed with Bears today. Flying back to Denver.

[RynoRules]

Great, we're hiring Marrone.

[JonJayCutler]

Ugh. Just no to Marrone.

 

Hopefully they hold out for Quinn.

[Banedon]

Eaaaasy. Pace flew back to NO after his interview. Flew back to Chicago as GM next day.

[Guest]

the players already don't respect Marrone, it would be a disaster.

"so Ryan, about that job, should I just stay in town and buy a new suit for the press conference or what?"

[Guest]

Eaaaasy. Pace flew back to NO after his interview. Flew back to Chicago as GM next day.

 

He did?

[Guest]

Boers and Bernstein were positively giddy about Fox today. They pretty much ridiculed and talked over anyone who called and wasn't totally fired up about him.

[Banedon]

Eaaaasy. Pace flew back to NO after his interview. Flew back to Chicago as GM next day.

 

He did?

@ESPNChiBears

 

Just a point of reference - Ryan Pace interviewed for GM job & flew straight home afterwards. He flew back to Chi next day as the new GM.

Is Fangio a realistic target for DC?

 

I'd be all for Fox, Gase, and Fangio.

holy god if we ended up with Marrone that would be unbelievably tragic

That'd be okay, I think. I'm not convinced about Gase, but I don't really know who else is out there.

[Guest]

Surprised there hasn't been more chatter about the Fox interview.

 

What's there to say? At this point it feels like we're more or less waiting for an announcement.

 

Plus the site was down for several hours

Sully's fault.

I'd absolutely love Fangio as the DC.

Rumors indicate the Chicago Bears verbally offered John Fox the head coaching position. No word if he accepted.

He had to fly home to finish off a junebug his mother had cornered in the basement.

Had to ask Elway what he thinks

I don't think it would be that bad. He just lead the Bills to their best season in 15 years with Kyle Orton as the QB. I know they have a great defense, but he can't be THAT bad, can he?

It would be a little underwhelming based on the other names we've been rumored to be in on. And I'm not even that big on Fox but it would seem like a better hire. Marrone did a good job last year and he seems to be confident enough in his own abilities to opt out of his contract and look for a better job. I just remember how lightly regarded he seemed to be coming out of Syracuse to Buffalo. Syracuse was in terrible shape when he took over but it's not like he brought them to great heights...unless you consider the Pinstripe Bowl to be great heights.

 

I don't know...wouldn't be my first or second choice but wouldn't be a hire that seems so bad that I would pan it without giving him a solid chance to prove himself.

With the exception of Kubiak every name they have been in on has been underwhelming to me.

[minnesotacubsfan]

Austin is mildly interesting. Fox might be fine with the right coordinators. Bowles is already gone. Hey, I gotta idea, Marc Trestman!!!!

 

 

Man we fucked this up by missing Arians

Those Baltimore guys really left us hanging this offseason.

 

I think Fox has the highest floor out of all the guys. I guess that's worth something. If your goal is to compete this year, he has to have the least downside of the guys remaining right?

Landon CollinsChicago Bears (5-11)COLLEGE: AlabamaClass: JrHT: 6-0WT: 212POS: S

Analysis: Safety play has been, without exaggerating, a borderline disaster for the Bears, extending beyond this season. Collins does a lot of his best work near the line of scrimmage, but he can certainly be effective playing off the line as a guy who anticipates well, makes good reads and takes proper angles. He comes in with a lot of experience, and for a defense that was such a mess, I like taking a player who offers a lot of versatility and won't need to come off the field much. I know cornerback is a need even after they used a first-round pick there last year, but I'm not sold on the value this high, and, given Chicago's litany of needs on D, they should go for the best player who can help them soon. Collins fits.
