Re: Bears Coaching Search - 2025
A list of all coaches hired since 2000 when their team fired the previous coach during the season. Results for even reachin the playoffs were poor for getting to the playoffs, (not necessarily the first year but during their coaching regime). Only one coach did so. Since then, however, 10 of 27 coac...

Re: Bears have fired Matt Eberflus
The Bears owe Flus $20,000 per day for the next 2 years. This equates to $13.32 per minute, $799 per hour, $134,615 per week, and $583,333 per month.

Re: Ryan Poles question
They brought Warren on because of his work in getting the new stadium built in Minny. The stadium location seems to be a rudderless ship, veering from site to site. Decide on AH or the Michael Reese site already, get everything lined up, and put shovels in the ground this summer.

Of course we're laser focused on the Bears. We listen for the slightest rumor. We rip them for continuing clown-level ownership.

Re: What is with all this flag planting crap?
I know pro NBA players, even LeBron, love trash talking and say it's what they grew up with. I find it offensive as I do the flag planting (I'm with you on flags, DP) , logo stomping, etc. What ever happened to good 'ol mascot stealing before the big game? That's about as common now as panty raids.

I would never trade for a HC. Costs way to much draft capitol. Bears need all their draft picks to rebuild the O-Line and D-Lines.
