    Obviously DeCosta is the premium hire. Not sure why Biggs included Wolf. Not that he wouldn't eventually go for a GM role but to the Bears? I'd want to hear more on why he would consider that.

    McClay would be nice. Now I need to start doing some research on candidates. Initial research on McClay complete. He has extensive experience in the Arena Football league as a coach. Does this sound at all familiar, Cali?

    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.

    To me it's obvious.

    Offense great in '13, bad in '14 with the same players. That's got nothing to do with Emery. I think Emery did good enough things to get him some extra time. Hirung a weird ass coach was not one of those things. Apparently Silver is saying Emery's biggest mistake was firing Lovie (I didn't see it though -- just a retweet). While I agree he wound up a terrible coach in Trestman, to me that's where the bad decision lies. I wouldn't expect a GM to just stay with a coach that he never hired and didn't feel like was the best guy moving forward.

    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. Why wouldn't the new GM hire who he wants?

    Yes please.

    Lol Carolina looks so out of place on the NFC playoff board
  11. Soul
    Wow, really don't see how that is conclusive
  12. Soul
    What a bs call

    Detroit is improved but this kind of choke job is not surprising

    Among the dumbest challenges ever

    I had turned the channel to get an update on the second missing plane. What happened?
  17. Soul
    If I feel like the bulls are a contender, I will start to watch.

    "That idiot" isn't nearly specific enough :)

    He doesn't really impress me at all. Whatever. Words like "great" and "stellar" were possibly not used seriously. He is not good. He was extremely mediocre against an atrocious Bears' defense today. At least 60 of his 200 passing yards were directly a result of the Bears being clueless in coverage...that includes the touchdown. Not sure what people really see in Bridgewater, but he will wash out in a few years. Jesus he's a rookie Exactly. And a rookie with a horrible o-line who had the highest completion % of any QB in the NFL in December. Jesus we are on the precipice of being the only NFCN team with no QB.

    *sigh* another 4 months of my life wasted
  22. Soul
    I believe Jay did that for Forte.
  23. Soul
    Fairly high on the crap-o-meter
  24. Soul
    Hopefully it just means there aren't any hard feelings The Cubs let their fired GM lead their next draft. All Emery is doing is just sitting next to George. Ok... Did I say different ?
