The organization needs to want it to go their way and they really do not.

Daniels and Nix are in systems that are being built around what they can do and a scheme that helps them. Williams is surrounded by a bunch of Bozos. The organization does not value coaching at all and may value it less then the White Sox. The entire organizational mission is to be a mom and pop thing where everyone loves Virginia and hates the Packers. The fact the Packers thoroughly emasculated them for the past 30 years and Virginia, Michael and now and ticket manager turned CEO have zero clue on how to address this issue. The team accountant was in charge for many years....yes that's who you want running the franchise. Sadly death (Bears, Bulls and Sox won't be sold) is the only way Chicago organizations change.

Bears fans looking at this dumpster fire of an organization and seeing fault in Caleb Williams need to understand the role that coaching and scheme play. This organization has done nothing to help him become an NFL quarterback. Denver and Washington have guys that develop quarterbacks working with them. Williams is on his third OC. We have learned nothing about how good Williams may or may not be. Aikman is looking at it through the lense of one game. The dude playing LT should be safely tucked away on the practice squad. You think that is not going through Caleb's head? There are zero qualified people in that organization to work with him. Thomas Brown who I am sure they hoped would do well and be the HC for cheap is looking a lot more like the guy he was in Carolina. Hopefully Joe Brady takes the job as if Ben Johnson is looking for a good organization the Bears are not it. The hoopla and pageantry of being a founding team means nothing. That literally is their only selling point.

Yes he could possibly be the least of our problems after the punter.

He passed on Harbaugh. What has he accomplished in his role other then to build out non-football roles? The product on the field is worse then ever and they are destroying the one thing they have never had until this year. Yes Williams does not look that good but for God's sake he is on his third OC of the season and the OL is an absolute joke. That third round OL pick is an embarrassment. They are in no position to draft projects. Poles thought this roster was talented enough to cover for the 3rd round project and then to use 4th round pick on a punter. He got them from point A to B thanks to Lovie Smith. Without that pick we are worse off than we are now which is saying something. Now we will gamble on an inexperienced coordinator to change the organization with zero support from the clown shoes at Halas Hall. Good luck with that.

Zero blame on Williams as this s%*# show is an absolute joke, Not a single non player in that organization has any credability.

The same ESPN that had the Arizona logo for Arizona State. Media in general not only seem to not care about production but can't hire folks to get the simplest of things correct or hire an editor to correct them. You'd think these things would be easier to catch.

Agreed but the only person that can make that call is Warren or George. The others are fighting for their lives.

If they go 4-13 there is zero reason for Poles or any other coach to come back. They are burning year one of the rookie contract with zero progression and little reason to believe they will not be blowing through year two.

For me Robert is more of a fresh start guy. Unfortunately he can't stay healthy either.

Wouldn't this open opportunities for coaches that wanted a role in player personnel moves if Poles was gone?

He didn't appreciate Jordan when he was here. Couldn't move on from winning fast enough.

Four names this morning Joe Brady Mike Vrabel Flores Ben Johnson I would think you kick the tires on Bellichek

I guess I was off the reservation recently as there is a serious fire under them all. Maybe I wasn't caring enough and only hearing about how things will now be different. Seems like Poles will be gone after the season. Opens up the opportunity for a HC with personnel input.

The media I heard last week was about Thomas Brown getting an opportunity and what he would need to do to be the next head coach. Maybe I was expecting more heat or not paying attention which is good then and I am sadly happy to be wrong as I wished they all worked out. I will agree that the narrative seems to be changing but I viewed the season as lost after the Patriots game and yesterday looks like this team has a real culture problem that goes much further than Eberflus and Waldron so you are right. I thought Poles was certainly safe prior to yesterday. It took Dan McNeil of all people to begin the narrative of Warren v Harbaugh and what a huge miss that was. It will be a minor miracle for them to win 5 games this year. If they are going to hamstring their hirings to fit what George and Virginia want and now add Warren's ego, I am not certain anything is changing any time soon. If Poles was on board with Eberflus when he was hired and doubled down earlier this year with no pushback from Warren, they should both be gone. The next question are they prepared to pay for a legitimate coach while paying Eberflus $5M a year for the next 2 years.

Again I cannot reiterate enough how Poles and Warren are somehow getting a free pass on screwing this up. George the ticket salesman is a complete buffoon stuck in the 1940's. Williams will be on his third head coach and amazingly fourth OC when next season kicks off. The ineptitude has reached new lows up there with Poles and Warren and that is really saying something.

Penn State and Texas are going to make it to semis without a quality win all season. How are both seeded higher than OSU? OSU beat two teams in the playoff. Michigan loss looks bad but it is still MIchigan. Close losses to Oregon seems to help Boise and Penn State but not OSU.

The Carolina trade is looking less and less like the Herschel Walker trade as each game goes by. You can add Tyle Scott as another high picked that was wasted. Same as Velus. Scott can't even make the active roster. After they go 4-13 will Poles be called out or no? Harbaugh is the reversal of TLR. Chicago can't get anything right. Poles got Hahn'd there. Warren was a nice hire on paper and seems to like to hire non football related people but on the football side what does he know about anything? Why was he let go by the B1G? This is the epitome of a rudderless ship. Eberflus (who Poles and Warren backed) is this year's fall guy, Poles will be next year's fall guy, the HC Poles hires will be the following year's falle guy and then 7 or 8 years from now Warren will take a job outside of football and Trace Armstrong will take over. I have traded in my fandom to the Pittsburgh Steelers and really don't care much about baseball outside of the White Sox but will root for the Brewers and Cardinals.

I wasn't telling you to do anything I was just agreeing with you and used that term to explain why I think Brown has the job and why popular opinion can easily be swayed toward him in the end. It is not so much about the job he does but more so that at the end of the year he can fit nicely into what Poles and Warren will look at and that is a controllable underling. It may end up working out as Brown is not in position of strength and that may be fine if he actually can do the job. there is risk with him that is greater then those that have led teams previously. These guys believed in a lot of failing individuals very recently.

Read the room with Warren and Poles. Brown has enough backbone to appease fans and players but was thrown a lifeline by Warren and Poles to feel comfortable in a role that a stronger candidate would not. Brown is still very young so maybe they caught the lightning in a bottle there. I do nto trust the guys that liked Getsy, Waldron and Eberflus to get it right but maybe they will get lucky.

The Bears are a McCaskey run operation....full stop...that is not changing unless something pops that has not happened since Jim Finks was hired from the Vikings in the 70s. As long as Thomas Brown says all of the right things and doesn't step in Warren and Poles garden he will get the job. The ticket salesman who has held no legitimate job in his life and accomplished anything is still in the room and is the Chairman. Eberflus should have been gone after the Pats game and dopey George said no. Poles is looking more and more like a slightly more talented Rick Hahn. Kevin Warren is certainly equivalent to KW in playing the role of the boss. Wins and losses are of no significance the rest of this year and as long as the losses are close, Thomas Brown will be the new boss. The Bears do not swing big.

No clue about BR hoops. The IHSA needs to fix the way teams are moved up. MC moves to 8A next year after they win one year they should move up after one not after winning three in a row. Same with Nazareth. There is also the multiplier and in the case of Depaul and St Laurence enrollment growth that is not counted yet but will next year. Brother Rice could be in 5A next year although they elect to move up in baseball so who knows. Marist may be 6A but if that gets them ESL they may elect to move to 7A. 7A in some regards is easier than 6A.

What has he done in his 20 months time on the job. The OC hiring and retaining Eberflus shows me he is either bad at the job or was very hands off. Stadium thing seems to be no further along and is predicated on who they can shake down the most at the government level. They should have brought in someone with IL government ties then for that role like a Lisa Madigan. The fact that Waldron won the job over Kingsbury or Arthur Smith is a bad look and retaining Eberflus is another bad look. Poles can hang on to the Massive Carolina trade for another year maybe two before his seat gets hot and Warren another 5+

How does his firing show they are serious? Yesterday's ending was beyond embarassing. Thomas Brown will be given remainder of this year and next as HC. They are not a serious organization.

This plan worked well with Vaughn who was move somewhat kind of a little bit more proven...I guess #green
