  1. You are the boy who cried wolf of meatballin. It's all about the next big boss and the next big boss probably isn't accepting an unstable sociopath whose abilities are on the decline. As I said before I am more and more of the belief that the new guys will be happy to take a 2015 dive and finish the house cleaning job that started today down to the older players.
  2. If you want to close your eyes and cover your ears and pretend everything else Marshall was involved with this past year wasn't a total disaster then yes, yelling at a radio guy is a dumb reason to cut him. But that's a dumb way to summarize the marshall situation.
  3. Long hasn't head any other coach though...so it's understandable from him. He has no other point of reference. I was listening to Francesa Sunday morning and it was pretty funny to hear him talking about the inevitable Rex Ryan firing and how he doesn't want to hear any players talk about how much they love him after he's gone, considering how horribly they played.
  4. So, the more I think about this the more I think the Bears are going into tank mode for next season. I think Cutler is a solid placeholder QB and they can try and win a good amount of games next year, but it may be more worth it to the new BOSS to just cut bait there, take the cap hit and get yourself another top draft pick in 2016 then start going for the real turnaround in 2016. Hell, they may even trade Forte for some middling pick and really just accelerate the 2015 meltdown.
  5. I really can't stand Bernstein's "If you asked me who was running the Bears my answer was I do not know. Now I know." BS.

  7. Suh was suspended
  8. Right...but the point is to try to mimic the whole organization setup, possibly. But Dan said the only thing he can says is that Ted Phillips is safe...essentially they don't wanna fire him and want to keep him on somehow. then they aren't mimicking them and it's pointless to hire another non-NFL exec. oh god why am I listening to wscr callers right now?
  9. why in the holy hell would they keep philips and hire some other non-nfl executive? He's saying that both these guys have run sports organizations, so it would be the non-football business stuff that Ted Phillips would do. This would mimic what the Packers have done by bringing in Mark Murphy, who was the AD in Northwestern before moving to the Packers. It would only mimic them if they have a Ted Thompson below him.

  12. What's that have to do with what he said in that quote? He said what wrigley said he said. He's down with whatever coach of whatever style as long as it's a good coach who has a winning style. I guess he's trying to sound open to save his job, but I have a feeling he's speak his mind if he had an opinion. He wouldn't go unsigned if he was cut. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk He's a damn good player that shows that elusive emotion on the field. He will punch people in the face to get a first down. and drop the ball
  13. There is going to be a lengthy interview process, almost certainly. You have to handle Rooney rule situation plus honor playoff interview protocol.
  14. Lovie was entrenched at that point. Yeah, that GM was told he had to let Lovie coach for a year.
  15. Could have been GM jobs where he is essentially working for the head coach, or for crazy overbearing owners.
  16. Just don't see it happening. He's got a great ready made gig and family ties in Balt. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The Bears job is better. Even with the success of the Ravens. Yeah, I dont' get the notion that he would pass on the Bears GM job because he essentially has a guarantee to get the Baltimore job whenever Newsome leaves.

  18. why were you trying to talk to a stranger at a bar?
  19. Well duh, they were terrible as opposed to winning 10 in Lovie's last year. Plus, Trestman is weird. His last day with the Bears was the same as all the previous days. And it was only two years.
  20. Michael Silver scoffing at Trestman being fired, places all the blame on Emery's poor GM track record, which starts with the stupid hiring of Trestman.
  21. when he was traded for cutler
  22. I said before I am not convinced they go back to the current hierarchy situation, but maybe they hire a GM with ties to the Lovie era (Ruskell?).
  23. Who is he close to that would be his coordinators? No idea. He has ties to Philly, Chicago and KC, so obviously a lot of coaches that also have ties to Lovie and Andy Reid, as well as John Harbaugh (the ST coordinator in Philly when Toub was his asst). Brad Childress was on those Philly staffs and is currently with KC. Leslie Frazier was also on that Philly staff and could theoretically be given a promotion to assistant head coach if taken from Lovie's staff. Steve Spagnuolo would be another potential candidate. None of those guys excite me Not me either, which is why I mentioned Toub. They have a tendency to look at guys with prior attachment to the Bears, and he's the closest former coordinator who has interviewed with multiple teams. I am guessing they were never embarrassed like this during Lovie era and have some hopes of returning to that style. Toub is probably more fiery but could theoretically return to "how things should be run", especially if he has multiple former head coaches on his staff under him.
