    Devin Hester is Champ Kind.

    Devin Hester: "I don't even know if I want to play again. Man, it's been on my mind for two years now." Is Devin as emotionally unbalanced as Tommie Harris was? His play the past two years sure indicates he wanted out before. I'm not surprised but it was kind of telling that Lovie kept going back to the Hester well even when he was killing the team with his worse and worse returns. That loyalty is appreciated by the guy's who are lucky enough to get it.

    I am going to assume that all assistants positions will be determined by the next head coach, with the exception of Tice and/or anybody who decides to leave on his own. I'm not sure there's much point in the team making a decision on anybody else, unless they Emery decides to insist on Marinelli staying and being the de facto head coach of the defense.

    If it wasn't already out there, you can rest assured that Cutler haters will lean heavily on the "coach killer label". Bradshaw is probably livid at Jay right now.

    On the other hand:

    The last part is why it is hard to be too adamant about how "fine" of a head coach he was. I get what you're saying, the Bears could have enjoyed great success under Lovie. He does what he does well, very well. The problem is the parts he struggles with are fatal flaws in today's game. The biggest parts of being a head coach are hiring the right staff and making correct calls on personnel. Lovie was a terrible personnel decision maker and just as bad at hiring offensive staff. If there was some offensively strong organization with a QB, system and OC already in place, he'd be a great hire. But organizations that have those things already generally aren't looking for outside hires at HC.

    Brad Biggs ‏@BradBiggs Emotional Devin Hester says he is considering retiring from NFL. feel free Devin

    Clayton said a lot of weird things. Yeah I'm a few minutes behind. Right now he's talking about how the Bears should agressively go after Andy Reid and pay him what he wants. Yeah, wtf. PASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS If you want to pass a lot, Reid is your guy.

    I'd have to say yes, it's happened at 10-6. Lots of teams go through playoffs or bust years, and some coaches get fired even after making the playoffs, like Dungy.

    I want the right coach and let him determine who the right assistants will be. If Bates is one, great. Otherwise I don't care about keeping people happy right now.
  11. jersey cubs fan
    Whoa, great insight there Larry. You had to dig deep for that one?
  12. jersey cubs fan
    You're trying to handwave away the things that have gone wrong by grouping them into this vague "everybody has bad stuff happen" misfortunes, but it's not working. Because you're stupidly trying to list them individually to make them sound crazy when every GD team in the game can do the same thing.
  13. jersey cubs fan
    yes. I'm pleasantly surprised, similar to after the Marshall trade. But then the rest of the offseason happened and the draft, which negated much of that optimism. Hope this works out better. I'll give Emery benefit of the doubt on the O-Line for one year. Obviously, its got to be addressed in a big way now. I guess I could see that being yhe point of emphasis, with the D getting a few stopgaps. I don't know why you'd give him the benefit of the doubt. It was a blatantly obvious need that didn't just get pushed to the backburner, it was completely ignored. Angelo ended up spending 3 first round picks on OL in his tenure but even with that his overall stance was to ignore it.

    Every time I hear about guys with a countable list of concussions I try and remember how many I've had. Definitely had one knock out concussion in football, another in wresting and while snowboarding. I'm going to assume I've had another at some point and go with 4.
  15. jersey cubs fan
    It's easy to ignore because it's not true. The Cubs didn't have some crazy calamity befall the team. They put an awful product on the field and got awful results. The things that went wrong was the whole trying to be bad thing that made them worse than they would have been if they tried to be good. It's completely normal for guys like Marlon Byrd and Geovany Soto to simultaneously put up seriously sub-replacement seasons. Please, every team has also rans who fail. Marlon Byrd had a brief decent prime, and he was well past it. Soto was a fat catcher who caught fire for a couple years and has been trending down for years. And those are hardly the things that defined the season. It is at least as normal for guys like that to fail as it is for guys like LaHair to thrive and Samardzija to take such huge steps forward, out of nowhere. The Cubs did not suffer from an outlandish amount of misfortune with the exception of having the misfortune of being led by a front office that saw absolutely zero pressure to field a good team.

    YES. Sean Jensen confirming this. YESYES. @seankjensen #Bears are trying to capitalize on a window to interview Mike McCoy, since the Broncos have a first-round bye. he's not related to the Texas raping McCoy is he? We have to assume Tebow would come with him right?
  18. jersey cubs fan
    This should be some fun speculation. Sad as it is to say, I'm going to guess Marshall was one of the participants. I think Cutler and Marshall are watched too much for it to be either of them and it not be caught on camera. I'm gonna say it was O-line guys. Marshall was looking extremely frustrated that entire game. I would assume he was involved.
  19. jersey cubs fan
    And that's a good thing? vs. Phillips and ownership having their way? Yes, it'd be hard for it to be a bad thing. We knew he was running the show already. The tired talk of the McCaskeys handcuffing people has been meaningless fan babbling.

    Tony Sparano is available.
  21. jersey cubs fan
    Lovie worried about offense. He changed things up and emphasized the need for a passing game in recent years. He was just incapable of leading an actual offensive turnaround.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    It was the right move, if not timely. But color me scared to death about Emery's first hire.
  23. jersey cubs fan
    It would have been cool to see the Bears drive 30 yards on the first drive, call a timeout, have a false start and then punt from the opponents 42. Plus, Hester was bound to get tackled for a safety on a kickoff return eventually.
  24. jersey cubs fan
    I am shocked if true

    can we start listing Gretzky's sister on this list soon?
