Oddly this listing seems better than what they used to do when the contention was "open".

Anyone that thinks being a White Sox fan over a Padres fan is delusional. There is zero reason to be a White Sox fan currently absolutely nothing to look forward to until JR joins Virginia and Rocky. These are the same times as when the ABC line was the "big thing" for the Blackhawks.

Assets? He can't manage a single solitary thing.

Based on his inability to stay healthy he shouldn't but we shall see. As with Cease he will sell low and hope to develop the middling players they get back. Failed miserably with Cease. Hopefully we lock in the #1 pick in the 2026 lottery and there is something of value there that can be traded for a haul in 2031.

They will franchise him and trade him for a pick like they did last year with Sneed...at least that was what I heard on the radio

And he couldn't even properly manage that situation...organizations win championships is such bullshit coming from him who has won 1 in about 90 opportunities outside of MJ

Other than opening day there is no reason to even consider that package. The weather and product suck so every game is a gamble. If you have to pay to get there/park and then want to consider the most minor of concessions it is not a winning proposition.

Timing of this makes for nice tributes surrounding the game which is nice seeing as she is the daughter of NFL football and seemed like a great steward of the franchise. Wonder if there is a memorium placed on the field for her.

My issue with Bears Oline is we are not certain what was coaching and what was talent/talent evaluation. If Jones and Wright are the guys with a professionally run offense that alone could improve the line. I cannot reconcile the performance of the offense beyond the inept coaching room putting it together. If Jones is a guy and Wright is a guy that makes things easier to fix if you thinking coaching torpedoed things as well.

I'd go OL in draft and DL in free agency

Paywall who does he have the Bears taking

Johnson is doing Campbell a solid and not offering him the job (per Johnson) and raiding his staff. My guess is he would be elevated to OC in Detroit but maybe not. He won the press conference and that is important as he needs to win and control the room.

ND offense was just not talented enough. Will be interesting if Ewers ends up there. I have never liked ND but I really like Freeman and think the landscape of college football now v 30 years ago has me liking them. Go Irish!

You would think the answer would be no becasue they did nto go after Harbaugh but again that could be Warren v Harbaugh in an ego trip. This is similar to Eberflus over Quinn and the epically insane Waldron over Kingsbury. Poles needs to win some moves this offseason.

Poles has shown nothing to lead me to believe that he should still be making decisions. They said on the radio and I cannot believe this is true is that Waldron is making $5M for the next 4 years. If that is the case Poles should not be allowed to make another decision. Seems that the change in operations here is the money the team is spending on hirings of coaching. This is being credited to Warren and seems to be where Ted Phillips hampered things previously. So what we have here is Carolina falling apart and luck winning that trade big time and Warren was able to pull off the obvious but somehow 100+ years in the making of having the McCaskey's spend. Now how does Poles build a team??? I really wonder if he gets an extension. He should not but we shall see.

Washington has a legitimate GM. The Bears shitshow hired Waldron over Kingsbury. I think Raiders give Johnson a crazy amount of money and Bears end up with their Johnson blowing in the wind.

The TLR comp would be to hire Parcells right now. The maddening thing is the Bears have this structure that they adhere do that is obviously very broken yet they are unwavering. That ESPN sorry read to me like the NFL was ok with the connections as long as there was diversity in the pieces of the puzzle. I am not certain the NFL cares how dumb the Bears are as long as they follow proper protocols My fear is the Johnson is not experienced enough to build a staff and overcome the ineptitude of that front office. I think that was what did in Nagy. My hope would be that McCarthy would know how to navigate that better. I felt the same way with John Fox. He was younger than McCarthy when hired. Man did he disappear after Chicago. I think Johnson gets the bag from the Raiders. If it doesn't work he can blame the Raiders. He could do the same with the Bears but I think the Raiders would pay more. The Bears are in a prime position to get a legitimate coach under market value in McCarthy.

McCarthy is the safest bet to build Caleb and potentially overcome Bears organizational mismanagement. He gives me the Lovie vibe. Carroll is a slam dunk if not for his age. I have always appreciated McCarthy and I am not exactly certain why. What really sucks is Fangio getting is only HC shot coming off the Bears.

The most important thing that could happen to a poorly run franchise happened to Washington. They got a new ownership group.

The success of the other QBs is finally shining a light on how inept the Bears are as an organization. Passing on Kingsbury for Waldron, the process that got Flus hired and retained. The ineptitude is not only Poles but Warren and George. The folks above the GM seemed to not get as hammered as they are now. The entire failing organization is in the crosshairs. Trubisky, Fields and their predecessors were a mix of talent evaluation and coaching fails but to be honest nobody has gone on to succeed after leaving the Bears as a fired HC or failed QB draft pick. Williams is different. If he fails it is viewed as organizational. The success of Nix, Daniels and Stroud even Young is organizations putting their drafted QB in a position to succeed while the Bears through 3 OCs put their player in a position to fail.

Im not an ND fan but I love Brian Kelly getting dunked on he is a grade A tool and perfect for LSU

They interviewed nine OC candidates and missed badly. In their case interviewing more candidates does not have a history of success.

That is perfect

Johnson has some connection to the Jacksonville front office and seems to be why the GM was kept. The three finalists when Eberflus was hired were Jim Caldwell, Eberflus and Dan Quinn. For some reason I get the feeling Thomas Brown will be retained. George and the boys seem to not place winning over cost or control. How do to interview those three and determine Eberflus is the better candidate. The organization has done nothing to show they are serious about building out a legitimate front office.

And thus continues the vicious circle of not having any continuity at OC. If Flores hires an OC and they have success they will be gone then you have the same issue as what happened when Gase was the OC. Poles can't seem to judge much of anything so he will hire Flores and then hopefully only go through 2 OC's next year before maybe figuring it out. The hire should be Ben Johnson or bust. Flores would be a good hire but who manages the offensive side of the ball. Vrabel and somehow getting Arthur Smith/Josh Mc Daniels would make sense and if Flores has a connection like that fine. Flores would need to have a guy that isn't HC material moving forward.....like Shane Waldron was thought to be. The odd thing is that nobody really thought Waldron was a good hire outside of the Bears and that is why I think they fail again this offseason.
