    I like Jebadore. The best one I came up with was Theoyer Hoystein, imo. too dairycowish

    If 7-9 was going to do it then I think it was after year 6 when he was 7-9 for the second time in 3 years. The Bears aren't really a change for change's sake organization. Wanny had three straight sub .500 seasons. Jauron went 7-9 but that followed 4-12. Ditka went 5-11. At this point, back to back 7-9 seasons might do it, but one? I doubt it.

    5-11 in year one and two 7-9 seasons. Lovie generally gets the most out of the guys. He's just struggled to make the team great (despite having the defense great for 2 years) and he's a bad personel guy. Remember, he had more power in the post Super Bowl offseason, including the draft.

    wow, really? is that definitely a thing that happened, or are you speculating? that's pretty brutal if that's what happened. Lots of people speculated that cherington wanted sveum but luchino, at the very least, forced him to drag his feet which left him available for the Cubs to pick off. I think the evidence is pretty strong that upper management wanted more of a name, some flash, and a hot head that wouldn't let guys eat fried chicken.

    yeah, it's not his resume that's the issue, it's his ability to piss anyone and everyone off. he's a czar, and if he'd won a super bowl as a head coach, he may have more leeway, like a parcells, but he didn't. czars play well in the academic world

    Hmm...I disagree about Lovie being anywhere near the hot seat. He's had his ups and downs, but he manages to take teams that experts don't think belong near the top of the league and keeps them playing hard, and really, beyond the level that most think they should be playing. I can see an argument for Angelo being on the hot seat, but I think Lovie's pretty safe, actually. Well I kind of think raw is right that he's one bad season away from the ax, but 7-9 isn't going to do it. 4-12 could cost him his job, but simply changing offensive systems shouldn't cause them to take such a step back.

    I'd actually like to see Soriano stay and platoon with Dejesus. Last year Soriano was at: 271 .312 .500 .812 against LHP. Dejesus has a similar career OPS against RHP: .292 .368 .447 .815 It's a lot of money to be playing for the small part of the platoon but if the other option is to move him and eat most of the costs then I'd rather capitalize on what he still does well. I'm not completely against the idea or anything but I don't see it happening. Soriano cried about not batting 5th everyday, I can't imagine him taking to a platoon.

    It was pretty clear a long time ago that they would try and contend the next couple years, and I don't think this signing shows anything else in that regard. The major league OF was Soriano, Byrd, Colvin, all impatient hitters, some of them extremely so. They needed help out there and they filled it without giving up any other assets and spending a small amount of money for a guy who stands a reasonable chance of outperforming that contract.
  11. jersey cubs fan
    A career .072 IsoD, and he maintained that even in his bad year. I certainly like that on a team that once again fell to the bottom of the barrel in walks last year and already got rid of their three of their four most patient bats.
  12. jersey cubs fan
    It could very well just be me getting caught up in the moment, but if I had to put money on it, I'd bet neither Byrd nor Soriano start the season with the Cubs. I'd bet at least one doesn't start the season with the Cubs.
  13. jersey cubs fan
    It fits the go from a players' manager to a disciplinarian type pretty well.
  14. jersey cubs fan
    There's no reason to be super excited about him, and they didn't spend super exciting money on him. There OF is a complete mess and they need adequate players out there somewhere, especially if the talk of trading Soriano is true. I don't think he's a guy you sign and say "let him roll", he's a complementary player at best who fills a spot without standing in the way of something better.
  15. jersey cubs fan
    http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/d/dejesda01.shtml Maybe he's another Marlon Byrd, but he's Marlon Byrd minus 2 years, and a friendly contract. BR has him similar to Randy Winn by age and Marlon Byrd. Certainly just a placeholder and a cost effective one on a team with limited bats.

    Dennis Erickson was a disaster of an NFL coach and yet still was welcomes back to college with open arms. Butch Davis was a joke in the NFL and got a job right away in the college. There are over 100 college positions in addition to 32 NFL head jobs, and there aren't 100 quality head coaches. There alway's going to be room for a guy who won as many games as Martz won as an NFL head coach, not to mention a guy who ran a big time offense that won a Super Bowl. He has a 53-32 record as an NFL head coach and he was involved in multiple championship game teams. I'm not sure why you would think he'd never coach again. His resume is as good as 95% of coaches out there.

    I'm guessing McCown will be #2 by week's end but there won't be an announcement for a couple days. And I'm guessing the hook won't be that quick unless he absolutely chits the bed early.
  19. jersey cubs fan
    It comes with the territory though, this is the point in time when coaches express interest in their next job and organizations start looking at current coaches. It doesn't take much time to send out the proverbial resume. Just let your agent know you have interest and go back and coach your guys.
  20. jersey cubs fan
    They thought Terry Shea could essentially run it before. Not a good idea.

  22. jersey cubs fan
    wait, what?
  23. jersey cubs fan
    What's he doing? Sending everyone copies of his portfolio? Any coach in his position would be talked about for these types of positions. Coaches with NFL experience (and success) have a lot of cache in college, especially at secondary programs like these two. I fully expected him to be here for just a couple years before taking a head gig somewhere and the lack of an extension solidified that feeling.
  24. jersey cubs fan
    It looks like the Bears are down to 7 point favorites after opening at 9 and settling at 8 for a while. Must be a fair amount of money going against Hanie right now.
  25. jersey cubs fan
    Yeah, I've heard that. Don't really know what his qualifications are. Does Martz just say, "here's my playbook". Not sure how this would work. He's been a tight ends coach, offensive line coach, tight ends coach, head coach, assistant head coach and now line coach again. I think he's probably qualified in the general sense, but I fear he'd run a dumbed down version of this scheme and isn't very imaginative, or bright for that matter. Actually, he'd probably be more to Lovie's liking consisidering his history. I'd much rather prefer the guy who could be the next head coach (the next Sean Payton as raw said and as we said last time this position was available).
