    It'll be interesting to see who they hire as a head coach. I heard on sports center this morning that the bears have never hired a coach with head coaching experience in the NFL. That sound very random and weird. But if sports center says it, it must be true. Bonjor.

    Definitely not true since Halas had 4 separate stints as head coach. But I guess he wasn't exactly hired by the team.

    Singletary is said to be interested... #-o

    I doubt they were counting him....time to look it up.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Chicago_Bears_head_coaches

    The bears have had 17 coaches in their history. If you don't count halas, I could believe that none of those guys had head coaching experience before they went to the bears. Just think of the last 5: Trestman, Lovie, Wandstead, Jauron, and ditka.

    Btw, fuck singletary as the coach. I loved him as a player, but he was horrible in SF.

    The only way I'd want Singletary is if he was a linebacker coach. That's it.
    Glad they axed Trestman, Emery and Kromer.
    Why wasn't Tucker and DiCamillas part of that? Hmmm...
    Harbaugh to Michigan...ugh!
    Now what?
    I really hope they don't hire Shannahan. Yeah, he's got experience but seeing him as a Redskin was a fiasco!

    Well, that's pretty accurate. Pro bowler in Denver under Shannahan. Comes to the Bears under Lovie Smiths "I don't give a shit about offense" offense, then decent results under Trestman's first year until he got injured....then the league and everyone on their couch watching the Bears figured out their crappy and predictable offense.
    Ugh...the Bears are a mess!
    Still, Trestman and that coaching staff was problem #1. Just hope they can bring in an actual NFL coach.

    Oh, it's true. The Bears have been very cheap when it comes to coaches over the years, but it's still a crazy thing to hear.

    Happy that they did the right thing in getting rid of Emery and Trestman, but it still bothers me that Ted Phillips will be involved in hiring a GM. Let Phillips run the business side and bring in a football guy to hire a GM and run the football operations. I know they have Ernie Accorsi coming in as a consultant to help out with the search, but Phillips and George McCaskey will make the ultimate decision and I have zero faith that they will hire the right guy. They held Emery and Tresman accountable, so why isn't Phillips held accountable for hiring Emery and Jerry Angelo?

    SO what is gonna happen to Cutler? Is he still under contract?

    He is. They would owe him like 15 mil to keep him or cut him and no team will pay that. He'll likely be back.

    He needs to start earning his pay.

    If they don't show some life today, they must fire somebody. My guess Mel Tucker cause in upper upper management will admit the tresman hire was a massive mistake

    Do you guys realize Da Bear's have never hired a head coach that has had prior NFL Head coach experience…EVER!!!! I think it's time to go with a proven Winner in the NFL and Shannahan is a Proven winner in NFL…..He even won with Jay…. Da Bears will be keeping for at least another a Year you can count on that...

    Shanahan is not the answer. He's a qb killer. Nobody gets along with him. He all but destroyed RG3's career. Elway didn't need shanahan to be a hall of famer. He was a hall of famer with Reeves. Cutler was better under shanahan simply because trestman was a horrible coach. Cutler thrives when the team he plays on has a defense that can give him a short field. Cutler is not the type of qb that can carry a team on his own.

    LOL. That was definitely the highlight of that press conference.

    Apparently the Bears are interviewing Seattle DC Dan Quinn on Friday. They're also interested in Gary Kubiak.

    I saw the list of jackasses the bears were interested in. Tom Cable? What a joke. Kubiak would be a poor choice, IMO. Dan Quinn would be an excellent option. They need to get back to their defensive roots.

    The way the news media made such a BIG issue of Ole Virginia being "pissed off", was such NONSENSE! Pretty pathetic.
    Anyway....
    I don't even want to begin to think of what this organization needs to do in order to become a Super Bowl contender. Hahahahaha

    Ill be happy if on the 1st day of his new job....
    Whoever the coach is......
    Is 1st move is....

    Kicking Shea Mcclellin right in the gonads, and showing him the exit sign.
