Wow. That ain't exactly a small name here. That guy's been a head coach a couple times and an OC a couple times, he should be able to handle getting our Tight Ends up to speed.

If they weren't a detriment to coaching, I'd say lets bring in one of the Ryan brothers to help on defense...maybe we could see some fireworks like Buddy had with Kevin Senior on the Oilers vs the Jets.
I will kill you if you cut me at the knees. You will drink with me when invited and stay til I say so. We only listen to American Music. I make men nervous with just my presence. I expect an apology if you hold. I throw linemen at QB's. Believe the Lore!

I don't want either of the Ryan brothers within 100 miles of Halas Hall.

There is a GM named Poles
Who has a clear set of goals
He’s rebuilt his team
So Bears’ fans can dream
Of winning some more Super Bowls

I know that both of those Ryan boys are total dicks, but they both ran top 5 defenses when they were DCs. So A&R, whatever you’re burnin’ over there, pass it this way.

Hahaha...The Ryans are both a circus show more than anything now. That's why I called them a detriment to coaching. whenever I hear the name Gilbride, the first thing that pops into my head is Buddy taking a swing during that Jets game.

Kind of like when you hear the name Marcus Williams, you'll always remember him whiffing on a tackle on Stefon Diggs. Feel bad for the kid.

That's what I immediately thought when I heard our new TE coach named.
Mikefive's theory: The only time you KNOW that a sports team player, coach or management member is being 100% honest is when they're NOT reciting "the company line".

Go back to leather helmets, NFL.
