Jeremy Stoltz retweeted Jen Lada ‏@JenLada 11m11 minutes ago Some Bears players have been told Adam Gase will be the OC in Chicago. Kyle ‏@Ky1eLong 4m4 minutes ago Gase ������������ Kyle ‏@Ky1eLong 4m4 minutes ago I haven't heard anything internally but seems like u guys have it figured out Kyle ‏@Ky1eLong 3m3 minutes ago I repeat - I know what you know Jeremy Stoltz ‏@BearReport 12m12 minutes ago Now the Colts say they won't let Rob Chudzinski interview anywhere. Obviously that includes the #Bears.

When you listen to ex-players / current NFL analyst talk, they all seem to indicate this is much to do about nothing. As Mike Mayock said earlier today on DP, it is people who didn't play football who are largely making a big deal out of this, while the people who played it and analyze find it a non-issue.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 21, 2015 -> 07:57 AM) I thought the Schefter tweet yesterday reopened the issue Their have been mixed reports as to whether Bears received permission or not. Nothing has been widely reported. The entire media reporting around Halas Hall has been pretty much pure trash. With the new guy in charge, no one has the same ties or I presume that is what is leading to this lack of quality reporting.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 21, 2015 -> 06:33 AM) Brad Johnson admits to paying a $7500 bribe before the Super Bowl in 2003 for someone tamper with 100 footballs to make them easier to grip. I wonder if the Patriots aren't the only team to do this, just the only ones dumb enough to get caught. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/...the-super-bowl/ It is done a lot. It is not much different to me than a pitcher doctoring with the baseball (which I happen to find part of the game). This is being made into such a bigger deal than it is.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Jan 21, 2015 -> 03:18 AM) I'm not a rule guru but every single article I've read states the Colts were indeed using the same balls, and many of the articles saying this wouldn't affect outcome of the game. Just playing devils advocate. Its a bunch to do with nothing. This should be a non story.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jan 20, 2015 -> 01:36 PM) $4M for Rasmus. Woah, he must really have a terrible reputation in the locker rooms to only get that much. 8M for Rasmus.

QUOTE (Tex @ Jan 20, 2015 -> 11:27 AM) I proposed to my ex on April Fools Day, so that holiday is ruined for me. Brings whole new meaning to the term "April Fools".

Zach Zaidman ‏@ZachZaidman 5m5 minutes ago #Bears reached an agreement with Sam Garnes (assistant DBs), Dave Magazu (OL coach) and Derius Swinton II (assistant ST coach). Kevin Fishbain ‏@kfishbain 4m4 minutes ago New Bears O-line coach Dave Magazu has coached with John Fox since 2003. Fun fact: he coached offensive tackles/tight ends at NIU in 1984

Yeah, I have zero interest in Jim Bob.

Gase did not take the Jacksonville job.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 20, 2015 -> 01:33 PM) Charlie Weiss at HH? That a rumor or you speculating?

I guess technically, Gase could be the OC in Jax. I didn't realize that Maronne was named Asst. Head Coach & Oline coach (not Ocoordinator).

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jan 20, 2015 -> 12:35 PM) He was an absolute bust as a free agent signing for the Bucs. Doesn't necessarily mean he would be a bad fit in Chicago.

Trestman to be the Ravens OC. Gase now without a job entirely since he was focused on Ravens / Jaguars. Presume he will meet w/Rams and maybe Browns now? Is he willing to work with Fox?

I predict Bears will sign Gholson to be our safety in time. He is on the outs in Tampa and will likely be a cap casualty.

Jags hire Maronne to be Asst Head Coach and OC. That means Gase is likely going to Baltimore.

Presume Thibs decided to give players rest and let them sit on the loss. He's also said to be evaluating rotational changes, etc. Everything is on the table. Wonder if someone gets sent out or benched to send a message.

Thibs had scheduled a practice for today, but this happened... @kcjhoop (K.C. Johnson) #Bulls PR sends out update saying that practice has been called off. After last night's disaster, Gasol said this: #Gasol postgame: "We have two days between games we haven't had in over a month so it will be good to recover and go back to work Wednesday." And about 4 hours ago, K.C. Johnson tweeted this: #Bulls did have Sunday off. But players talked about first 2-day break since Dec. 21 as chance to recover. Instead, Thibodeau calls practice.

Good read on Fangio from MMQB and a quote from Harbaugh (this is a yr old). http://mmqb.si.com/2014/01/17/vic-fangio-s...ve-coordinator/

The reality is, it is hard to call people out when your effort can be questioned at times too. All I know is they need to clean this up and it starts with effort and intensity on defense and with boxing out. We also need MDJ back.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Jan 20, 2015 -> 09:34 AM) Exactly. It's going to be fun to watch how this roster evolves under this new administration. Might have a season next year like the Vikings had this year. See some flashes of "hmmmm this could get could" mixed with "I think I'd rather watch RedZone today." The key is, we should be able to see "progress"...vs a consistent oh god, it keeps getting worse.

Presume with Fangio coming on board, it means we will not be spending money on Paea. Can't imagine he's a fit in a 3-4.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jan 20, 2015 -> 09:24 AM) You guys confused the hell out of me. Is it confirmed to who is coming as DB and DL coach? Or did Laconfora misreport? Nothing confirmed yet.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jan 20, 2015 -> 09:16 AM) Paul Pasqualoni is an excellent DL coach. Maybe he will stay on. If Hoke stays, it is feasible that Donatell would coach another position under Fangio. Donatell has been a DC before. Yep. He was a DB coach at my college too (Cal State Fullerton) back in 89. That alone makes me like Donatell. Was a pretty good DC I thought (for Packers / Falcons). Or at least was good at generating a pass rush and turnovers (not sure what the PPG were). Pasq is as good coach as is Hoke and Groh. No rumors yet on them (and as I've said, they are the three I'd be ok with staying). Presume you could make Donatell like an assistant DC or something with another position as his focus (to your point). I know Hoke is pretty widely regarded in the league though so would presume their is a shot he heads elsewhere. I figure he'll be a DC one day.

Now lets hire a stud OC like Chud!
