Pace gets the benefit of hiring at least one more coach. Word is that ownership absolutely loves him.

Plus I think George finally has realized you need stability from the top-on-down. You can't be flipping GMs every few years unless you want to be Cleveland.wab wrote:Pace gets the benefit of hiring at least one more coach. Word is that ownership absolutely loves him.
Pace is building something, we can all see that. Final piece, IMO, will be the next head coach who will be tied to Mitch Trubisky. (Pete Carmichael, Jr.... you heard it here first).

Carmichael huh? Interesting...I could see that. What do you think Fangio does in that scenario?

Carmichael just makes sense... Payton understudy, Brees speaks highly of him, he's called plays for some of the Saints' most explosive offenses (scoring and yards), and he's got that Saints connection that Pace loves.
I think Pace kind of sees it like:
Carmichael Jr = Payton (Payton got the Saints job at age 43, Carmichael Jr is currently 45)
Trubisky = Brees (accurate QB, although Trubisky is a much better athlete)
Shaheen = Graham (Shaheen is slower but he's a huge mismatch in the passing game like Graham was)
Howard = Ingram (Powerful runners, won't take it the distance but will average about 4.4 a pop)
Cohen = Sproles (Small, shifty 'joker' backs that will be mismatches in the passing game)
I don't know what would happen to Fangio... I pray he would stay and get full reign to run this defense as he sees fit, but he might want to leave for 'greener pastures'.

I would like to see Fangio given a chance to be HC if they do fire Fox, however, I do fear he is heading back to San Francisco (or at least California) as soon as his contract runs out.
Isn't his girlfriend from/living there?

so you think that george realizes they need stability, so they're planning on replacing the coaching staff.G08 wrote:Plus I think George finally has realized you need stability from the top-on-down.

Over.
Absolutely Over 5 wins.
It would take a 3rd consecutive record breaking Injury Year for this to realistically be an under IMO.
As far as the upcoming schedule (Difficulty)=
They can be fun to talk about but are Very rarely accurate.
I'll guess the Bears finish 8-8.
* Maybe we need an "Over /Under IR" post

Yep. I'd have to agree with this. I think Fox was forced on Pace as a stabilizing presence for his first few years.G08 wrote:Plus I think George finally has realized you need stability from the top-on-down.

I hope George has realized that. Seems to be working for the Cubs and Hawks.
I'll take the under. I'm saying they'll double SI's expectations and vault to a lofty four win season.

I agree. My feeling is Fox has the same confidence of fulfilling his contract as Pace does. They seem really high on Loggains as OC and also to groom Trubisky. Fox has 2 years left on his contract I believe and I don't see any coaches leaving unless it's from promotions.Boris13c wrote:RustyTrubisky wrote:so you think that george realizes they need stability, so they're planning on replacing the coaching staff.G08 wrote:Plus I think George finally has realized you need stability from the top-on-down.
