    I mean, that is the question. That is the problem. The Bears haven't had a good OC in our lifetimes. Their best guy was Norv Turner's little brother who was more suited to college and the weird Canadian. Are there Dan Henning disciples out there that Fox can pull from, and would we want them? Otherwise there is not much. Keep in mind that Elway told Fox's staff to take a walk as well. He told them they were free to interview but they maintain contractual control.

    So much for getting to know the current staff and working with them this first season. Turks was one of the guys effectively running the day to day operations when Emery was bounced. Not that much needed to be done. Although with a new GM that had primarily "pro personnel" duties on his resume, Turks was the most vulnerable.

    At 8-8 and only thanks to the Bears literally giving it away.

    Has he always done that? Who was on his Carolina staff? It looks to me like a bunch of no names. Mike McCoy was there, and Dan Henning on his last legs. But he doesn't have much of a tree for a guy with two decades of head coaching. One mildly interesting name is Mike Trgovac who was his DC for a few years and is now the GB DL coach.

    I thought reports were that Fox initiated the "mutual agreement".
  7. jersey cubs fan
    No feedback since they don't interview him until tomorrow.

    Was it Bowles that didn't interview well with the Bears in his first interview? I was thinking there was a tweet or something about it. There was a report it went well. He was the guy that was moved up the schedule and met with pace.

    Turning 60 and assuming he's not being paid by Denver that would be a huge gamble by him.

    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? Not really. I get the idea and theoretical value of a total pro coach with all sorts of ties to other pro coaches and the theoretical ability to assemble a high quality staff. I'm just not sure Fox actually is that type of guy.

    I'm guessing Schottenheimer outperformed the hell out of Fox on a W/L basis for the first ~2/3 of their respective careers. Did Marty have more than 1 or 2 losing seasons, ever?

    Fox basically greased his skids on the way out of both Carolina and Denver. Sort of the same stuff the Doug Marrone hit pieces referenced.

    go back to dennison

    I'm not quite ready to hate it either. But a conservative defensive minded coach with very limited offensive abilities/connections who turns 60 in a month is probably not getting the most out of this roster for a few years.

    you make it sound like a 15 minute play. Catch ball get feet in (depending on whether sideline/endzone/midfield) and maintain possession while going to the ground. It's really freaking simple. If you fall, you have to hold the ball.
  16. jersey cubs fan
    I'd rather have Shanahan. A quick glance at Fox's past staffs isn't all that impressive.

    What's the cliff's notes version of why John Fox is bad?
  18. jersey cubs fan
    That is not necessarily true at all. Lots of people stretch for yardage at any point on the field. It's not just a goal line situation. You're probably right that I can't assume he wouldn't have stretched. I still feel like that qualified as a 'football move', though, if that's still a thing. You can't just make the move, you have to maintain control through the move.

    And Greg Gabriel is calling for Ernie Accorsi to push Pace toward hiring Fox, calling it ideal.

    Back in the day, contact with a blade of grass could "cause" an incomplete pass. But they changed it so that if the guy had control it did not matter if it made contact with the ground. What matters is maintaining control and Bryant did not maintain control. The ball was in his hands, hit the ground and popped out of his hands. Reestablishing control after the bounce does not matter because contact with the ground and that contact leading to the loss of control, makes it incomplete that instant.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    Well, if the catch yesterday happened as Bryant was heading out of bounds, he wouldn't have reached the ball forward for the end zone. My scenario could be in the middle of the field. So, if the player gets greedy with his ball control it's catch? I'm confused what your point is. Just looking for clarification. the point is you can tap two tows on the sideline fall out of bounds and have the ball hit the ground as you go down and its a catch. But if you do it in the middle of the field its not. That seems contradictory I don't think your point is accurate at all. Getting 2 feet down is not the end of the story. Maintaining control is the key. If you go to the ground out of bounds and the ball pops lose, it's no catch.
  23. jersey cubs fan
    the rules are so skewed in the favor of the offenses I fail to see how people can pretend it is somehow unfair to force a receiver to maintain a catch as he falls to the ground.

    Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter 3m3 minutes ago Lions DC Teryl Austin has second HC interview with Falcons on Thursday, per source.

    You'd think any bad blood would only be between Emery, but even that wouldn't be so much bad blood as just awkwardness. The Bears let him walk for a lateral move when they really didn't have to. They really had to. You can't interview the guy for HC, eliminate him early in the process and then force him to stay on as an assistant under the guy that beat him out.
