January 16, 201511 yr comment_142999 George's performance since the last game of the season has been the best Ive seen from Bears brass. 1.Didn't mess around with firing assistant coaches and giving Trestman another year 2.Didn't let Emery off the hook= smoked his ass too 3.Hired Ernie, a guy outside the Bears to help get this right 4.Hired Pace someone outside the Bears tree when everyone thought it would be Ballard 5.Hired a HC with actual HC experience first time ever in Bears history Ill give George an A+, he gets the A+ because he is trying something different. Will it work, who knows, there are a lot of factors that go into things panning out, some out of the control of Pace and Fox but I do like where things are pointed. Now like DaBomb said lets give Pace and Pox a couple of years to put their stamp on things!!!! GO BEARS!!!!!! Forgot to add 6. Gave Pace the control everyone wanted to see= already got rid of someone....lets hope Pace can recruit some of the best football minds to the Bears staff Report
January 16, 201511 yr comment_143003 They also "publicly" fired Kromer and fired Kevin Turks. Also, they have moved quickly: Dec 29th - Emery/Trestman fired January 8th - Ryan Pace hired (10 days later) January 16th - Fox hired (8 days later) So in 18 days (which included New Year's holiday), this franchise has done an internal 180 in terms of vision and leadership, and something we haven't seen in a long time if ever. Now we are on to the next step of Coordinators/Assistants, Roster and draft prospect evaluations. Report

January 16, 201511 yr comment_143007 Is is getting chilly in hell? Ha. I think even God got tired of watching his favorite team blow chunks and put the idea in Elway's head to fire Fox just as the Bears were getting ready to hire another chump. Report

Look at you waxing Theologically. But you know, it does seem divine in its intervention doesn't it? Report
January 17, 201511 yr comment_143013 Look at you waxing Theologically. But you know, it does seem divine in its intervention doesn't it? That's what makes this all so hard to fully grasp just how big this shift has been and how decisive George has been taking the bull by the horns and leading the charge. And the sheer timing of it all not long after our new GM is in place and coaching vacancies star getting filled in the annual game of coaching musical chairs. A proven guy becomes available in time to interview and hire. Could this be our turn to catch some breaks and see this team returned it's place of honor? Time will tell, but this is the most hopeful I've been in years. I was impressed to hear that Pace flew out to Denver to get more time to talk and do a second interview with Fox. Pace has been reported as a go getter and we're seeing that play out. Report

January 17, 201511 yr comment_143034 I cant remember the last time I was this happy about the Bears?? Last season was the worst in my life time. Let us all trust the new Pace - Fox connection. They have a plan. We shall trust the plan! Report
