The only way the Broncos could keep Manning was to keep Gase. So Fox had to go because Gase would have been offered a HC job somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Actually I don't think retaining Gase has anything to do with Manning. This team was built to win now, they spent a ton of money and it's time to pay the piper with some of the elite offensive talent. I think Manning is done, and I think he may have told them already, and we are about to see them blow this team up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 @AdamSchefter: John Fox declined HC interview with Jets, per NFL source. Hard to imagine turning down one HC chance unless there's real chance for another. LolJets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Mike Klis ✔ @MikeKlis Follow I was told by NFL source Jets did not seek to interview John Fox. For what it's worth. Many believe Fox is hooked up with Bears.We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 There's nothing to dislike about Fox IMO. He's had a ton of experience and he's won pretty much everywhere he's been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Jimmy0 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 John Fox's best friend in the business is Sean Payton. From 99-02 with NYG Accorsi was GM, Fox DC, and Payton OC. Fox to Bears makes a ton of sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) I still find it funny if he is hired, will be the first coach in the HISTORY of the Bears franchise to be hired with head coaching experience. EDIT: My mistake, "technially" Paddy Driscoll.. like 50 years ago. So yea, we're long overdue. Edited January 13, 2015 by SoxAce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely hard to believe that such a storied franchise has never hired a coach who's been a HC in the NFL before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone in the league could be a player-coach, it would be Peyton. Not that that would actually happen. Just saying that he'd be the most likely to be able to handle it.

Kyyle23 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Ha, Chris Mortensen says a Jets official DID contact John Fox, but no offer to interview was ever made.

ChiSox_Sonix Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jan 12, 2015 -> 05:08 PM) It's always going to happen when everyone loves to hate and laugh at that team. If this happened to the Panthers no one would care. But it's funny when it happens to a team everyone hates. It's no surprise. I had a decent sized wager tied into an in-game bet of over 48.5 so I would have loved another score in that game. Doesn't change my opinion on whether or not that was the correct call (it was) though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSox05 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 John Fox seems like a safe pick. Not very exciting, but little chance it ends in total disaster. Which is probably what the Bears are looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Fox and Del Rio would work for me. The Broncos have three all-pro defensive backs. They know how to develop talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might have never won a SB, but I don't care about that at this point. Get the Bears to the playoffs in the near future and we'll see what happens.
