    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.

    Oh wow...I didn't see Tom Cable. I doubt even the Bears would be dumb enough to hire a guy like that.

    Kubiak wouldn't be my top choice, but it would be nice for them to hire a guy who has actually been a head coach in the past.

    I agree, but kubiak didn't do shit with a very talented Houston team. It's time to rebuild that defense. A stout defense will bring that offense around.

    The bears are only 2 years removed from being the second highest scoring offense in the league. They have the offense. But that defense is pathetic.

    News conference the other day cracked me up.

    Virginia McCaskey is "pissed off"?
    Really?
    91 year old is pissed off?

    Hahahahahahahaha

    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.
    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.

    hahahahahahahaha!!!

    They need to hire Bill Polian. He said he doesn't want to be a GM, but they should offer him the President role. They guy has done nothing but put together amazing teams.

    Good article...

    Interesting idea from Wilbon. The only thing that would concern me about Polian is his age. As great as he has been, 72 is pretty old.

    The shitty part about all of this is that they didn't come out and say that they are going to change up the structure and hire a president of football operations and let Phillips stick to the business side where he belongs.

    Doesn't seem to be a whole lot of news with this GM/coaching search. They better hurry up and hire a GM so that GM can pick his own coach to hire. Wouldn't surprise me 1 bit if the Bears fuck this up and hire a coach before the GM.

    I believe they are waiting for all the teams in the playoffs. I really hope they can snag Seattle's DC.

    Are they allowed to talk to GM candidates who still have a team in the playoffs? Not sure if there's a rule against that. I'm just being impatient....and I think the Bears are going to fuck this up.

    Sounds like Chris Ballard is the favorite for GM....apparently he's interviewing at Halas Hall today. Seems to have a good rep around the league.

    He did work for the Bears for 10-12 years. At first, I didn't like that. But maybe he realizes how fucked up the way that this organization is run and he's going to come in and do it his way. I sure hope so.

    i do not think so...unless it is one of the two super bowl teams during the bye week. not sure if it's a rule or an unwritten thing that playoff teams operate on to keep all coaches focused.

    Beware. He is a Sith Lord. Powerful he is.

    Beware of the dark side. Anger, fear, aggression; the dark side of the Force are they. Easily they flow, quick to join you in a fight. If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will, as it did Obi-Wan’s apprentice, Jim Irsay.

    Ryan Pace is the new GM. I like it. A guy who seems to be well respected around the league and has no ties to former regimes like Ballard did with Angelo and Emery. Fresh start. Will be interesting to see what he wants to do with Cutler...

    Cutler is staying put for another year, unfortunately. That said, I hope the Bears have patience with this guy because it could be a 3+ year project.

    I was 2 years old. My brother was born the night the Bears won the Super Bowl....apparently it was quite a scene at the hospital that night.

    All I need is a Bears Super Bowl victory and I will have seen all of my Chicago teams win championships. I do not feel confident that I will see one.

    I know. So sick of hearing about the 85 Bears. Yeah, they were great. But like you said, it was 30 years ago. Time to move on...

    How fucking insane is it that the bears released the Super Bowl Shuffle three months before the actual Super Bowl?

    Hockey players, they are not.
