Fox could be viewed by them as a sort of transitional object. The team is a mess and the last administration was apparently very unprofessional. Fox could be brought in to clean all that up, perhaps. Yeah, the Ricky Renteria of the Bears?
Well, they did 2 years ago, when he was already on staff and he didn't cut it then. Might be that they feel they already know what they need to know. But then, that was Emery...
Well even so, other than Chicago fan/media speculation, I don't think there's been one credible source where any of the teams with HC openings have even given Toub a sniff.
