    it's going to be real easy for trestman to address the offensive line with the names out there and the fact that not all of them will be franchised. the draft is also real OL-heavy with our future center for the next 10-12 years being there at #20, i'm sure. it's not really a job for trestman to take on. It's the personnel people that have to make the difference here.

    NICE! That's great. DeCamillis was rumored to really want the Bears ST job. A guess asst head coach is how he got out of his Dallas deal. Was he ever really a candidate for HC? I wonder if the subject of coming here as asst head coach came up in that interview.

    Where or when? It's going to be Thursday, that was announced this morning.

    The difference is you reform a CFL offensive line simply with the dregs of the football world who can't make it in the NFL. The Bears have been dealing with everybody else's dregs, and their own busts, for a while now. We were told Mike Tice was a wunderkind of an NFL offensive line coach. We were told he would come in here immediately and get results simply by being such a great line coach. You're projecting quite a bit here. At least they're bluntly aware of the real offensive issue at this time. What projecting? A Montreal media member telling us what Trestman will do based on what he did with a CFL team is largely meaningless. What the Bears need is a personnel man to select the right offensive lineman (and not go another offseason without even addressing it at all). It's not a matter of "reforming" (whatever that means) what's already there. Trestman isn't going to be the guy to go pick all the right lineman necessary for the job. And he's not going to magically fix what is already there. We've heard all this stuff before when Tice was brought in for offensive line coach.

    I don't understand what this means. The fact that the OL sucked so bad for so long is a huge reason why the offense performed so poorly for as long as it did. They also had an awful receiving group for all but the last year and even then it was one guy and a bunch of nobodies or undeveloped rookies.

    We let him go. Emery had to let him go after interviewing him for HC position and not giving it to him. I'm not so sure it's such a huge loss. Special team success relies as much on the emphasis placed on it by the people in charge as anything else. Toub was fortunate to work in an organization that did more for special teams work than the offense. Almost from the beginning they were drafting guys like Manning and Hester with a huge emphasis on their return ability instead of what they can do the rest of the time on the field.

    I'm liking it less and less. The west coast offense's time has passed. Trestman is going to struggle to get the respect of players and other coaches with his very poor resume. Much like Lovie's first coaching staff with the Bears, that was filled with a bunch of college coaches, I am very concerned about having a GM with very little NFL experience hiring a coach with minimal NFL experience that has gone stale. What he did in the mid-90's is not going to fly in 2012. Trestman is going to have to spend months reteaching himself the league. He hasn't seen an NFL talent in practice in 8 years, and that was with a pathetic Dave Wanndstedt team in Miami. What kind of offense do the Packers run? It sure as [expletive] isn't the mid-90's west coast that Trestman is used to.

I can understand your concern, but you have a bunch of assumptions and mischaracterizations in that post. No, not really.

    Not sure, but there will still be more turnover after the head coach positions are filled.
  12. jersey cubs fan
    I think Lovie's stoic professionalism plays much better in the NFL than in college.

    Epstein really gave that quote for a book?

    This is so dumb, nobody has ever said Holly Rowe was smoking.

    I don't even have a working knowledge of how the NHL waiver process works, but anyways, there's this: Chris Kuc ‏@ChrisKuc Some waivers news: @RenLavoieRDS reports that #Blackhawks goaltending prospect Carter Hutton is on waivers.
  16. jersey cubs fan
    He was once a great player. But I'm talking about the God's linebacker side of the story more than anything else.

    It may be noteworthy to point out that number is 2, that award is just something handed out by the AP, and it's only 40 years old. It's as much reputational as anything else.

    And Monte Kiffin got the DC job in Dallas. He could sit out this year and get paid for it, if nothing works out. Good thing they didn't give him that extension in October.

    I would guess the chances of the defensive staff staying intact under Arians are less than if either of the other two get the gig. He's been in the NFL for a long time and has worked with many coaches. The other two have a more limited NFL resumes and presumably, trusted contacts ready willing and able to fill out their staff.

    At least Brady deserves the praise he's received. The Ray Lewis worship is manufactured nonsense.
  21. jersey cubs fan
    This isn't a high school team with all the best players playing offense and defense.

    @ChrisKuc: UNOFFICIAL schedule making its way around Internet has #Blackhawks' home opener Jan. 22 vs. Blues. Again, unofficial. Once more: Unofficial.
  23. jersey cubs fan
    Yeah, you can't upset the likes of Nate Schierholtz. The Cubs don't have a single guy who is a lockdown 160 game OF starter. Even if Jackson starts in CF there should be plenty of space for Nate.
  24. jersey cubs fan
    guy couldn't even play 80 games a year for most of his career.

    I personally hope that Emery is not influenced by fan, media or even peer reaction and hires the best candidate he thinks is available. I hope there is more than one voice at the table on this one. Which voice? Ted? George?
