I thought he was just frustrated. Don't think he was flicking off the fans. And that low-res shot proves nothing but someone trying to stir-up a controversy.

Pretty damning article if the sources are pretty legit. Really makes Lovie look bad and makes me think I've been pretty accurate about Urlacher.

Grimm could be a great hire

Are you guys kidding me. This is a guy being a leader. He's trying to take the blame instead of have it fall on his teammates. He's just trying to lead and has said many a times how the Bears stink. Something Urlacher refuses to do.

Too many people act as if this was the Bears mistake. The guy isn't any good and he was a stupid pick by Angelo. I said it when we picked him and I hear too many people tell us how he should still be on the Bears cause he's so "great".

Sorry to hear the news Pix. Hopefully you find a new job soon!!!

I stand corrected.

If Marinelli couldn't do it, no one can. And don't give me this, Marinelli didn't do much for the team. Marinelli has done it with the best of them and is so well respected when it comes to coaching the line that you have to said with Rob on this. Harris should go and he does have a cap-friendly deal, if we cut him there is no hit. If we don't, he makes 8 or 9M. I forget which, but I think it is 9M cash.

Ogun is a class act and I hope he gets healthy and has productive years elsewhere. However, his injury is a blessing in disguise as it will force the Bears to play some of there younger DE's and hopefully we can see some promising flashes out of em.

Harris will get paid about 8.5 to 9M each year. The cap hit to cut him will not be significant though because of the way the Bears structured the deal.

NFo, we are going to run Marinelli out despite his reputation as the best in the league after one season where he worked with a pretty poor cast of characters. I think that would be pretty poor, imo. I look forward to the strides I expect to see out of some of our young lineman next year.

Toub is the reason I've always thought Hester as a return-man was over-rated. Yes he was special but over the years with Toub, the Bears have had a lot of very good return men. Jerry Azumah was pretty freakin good too.

Jamar Williams is a FA and he wont' be back because he never got an opportunity. I think he should be starting on the outside with Briggs playing in the middle. I wanted to see what Briggs could do there because it would allow the Bears to play Williams on the outside and Roach which would be a pretty athletic linebacking corp and open up the possibilities of moving Urlacher for a 2nd round pick. Tommie Harris needs to go because he makes a lot of money, runs his mouth like an idiot, and quite frankly isn't very good. He's the typical make excuse type of guy and that attitude doesn't belong on the Bears.

I think the Bears will try and trade Urlacher. I'm probably being unrealistic there, but all of those other players I firmly believe will be shown the door.

Who do you guys think will be gone this year (coaches/players): Coaching Staff: Everyone but Dave Toub/Rod Marinelli. Toub/Marinelli may go because of what happens but I think whomever the Bears bring in will consider keeping those two individuals. Players: Tommie Harris Adewale Ogunleye Brian Urlacher Jason McKie Orlando Pace Roberto Garza Craig Steltz Hunter Hillmeyer Mark Anderson Maybe: Kreutz Jamar Williams

He says Lovie isn't the problem but at the same time hints that the whole organization has a problem. I wonder if Olin thinks Jerry is the problem or if the combo is the problem or if the McCaskey's are the problem. Quite interesting

It is hard to knock the pick. After his rookie year people were thinking he'd be one of the best backs in Bear history. I think he deserves another shot and believe he's been injured but there is no denying he's stunk this year. And no, taking a back in the 2nd round who was one of the best backs in football in his rookie year is hardly a wasted pick, imo. Mendenhall wasn't available, IIRC (1st round pick of the Steelers).

I would actually be okay with keeping Marinelli around. I think he's an exceptional coach.

Forte has been a bigger problem than people think. He's really been atrocious. Yes, the line is atrocious, but Forte has sucked ass too.

Most definitely not. Angelo has been very good for the most part and I think the Bears problems lie more in the lines of coaching that anything else. Sure, Jerry has had his stinker picks but he's also had plenty of good picks and shrewd cap moves. Basically put, I think Jerry is in need of a better coach, if he gets that coach, Jerry will ultimately get a contract extension in time, imo. I really think Jerry is a great talent evaluator, however, i think the Bears would be well suited if they could get a very good offensive coach as there HC who can evaluate offensive talent.

I threw down as well.

The above is the only way Jerry saves his job.

I would have to think an important McCaskey would win out over a group of less influential types.

Pathetic. Than go be a CHarger fan. I don't care what shit this franchise runs out, it is still my team and I'll always support them.
