Kyyle23 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 It doesn't bother me. He knows who the big dog is in this division. And if you can't beat them, then you likely aren't going to the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamshack Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) Lovie basically said the same thing in his opening press conference. Edited January 9, 2015 by iamshack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Hearing that the interview went very well. I do think it's premature of anyone to say he is about to sign. I think they will wait and see what happens with Kubiak and maybe even interview a guy like Marrone. This was the commentary from the person who scooped the Pace hiring.

Chisoxfn Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 @BobWarja: I realize my credibility is in question since my source was wrong about Ballard, so take this with a grain of salt, but next Bears coach... @BobWarja: ...will be Todd Bowles.

It would be different if GB was a losing team. Right now they need to beat GB. He should be here to get this team to a Superbowl. Beating GB can be a part of that, but it isn't absolutely necessary and it isn't goal #1. We'd all rather have a 14-2 SB champ than a 2-14 "Beat GB!" champ. It's not that laying out a plan to supplant GB as NFC North champions is bad, it's just that the first words being "I'm here to beat GB!" rubs me as the same-old, same-old from the Bears. but like jake said, maybe the McCaskeys are part of the meathead group...

Seems like a great move. Yeah of course it's full control. Phil Emery had full control as well. Ted Phillips and George McCaskey aren't making football decisions and they don't want to be making football decisions. Harry, you didn't suggest this but in general, I don't really understand where those thoughts come from. Ryan Pace is essentially in charge of Football Operations for the Bears as the General Manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Goal #1 should be to hire a quality coach and acquire players that thrive in that coach's system. Let the coach and players worry about beating Green Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowand's rowdies Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I wrote about the Bears last 5 drafts and the Pace hire.

Have the Bears ever made it to the playoffs without beating Green Bay? I see what you are saying that beating Green Bay isn't the number one goal. It's winning the super bowl. However in this division, that road starts by beating Green Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 9, 2015 -> 06:59 AM) He turned down jets, but all did. A reporter from New Orleans felt that he had been sought out and offered more jobs over the past couple of years but he always wanted more control than was offered. Ted Phillips is the President of Football Operations while not making moves or evaluating talent he has a role and the GM reports to him so he is a layer of management that has some over-site along with the Board over the GM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
