HO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, I realize everyone wanted Lovie gone. I did too. After taking a day, I began to think about some positives. Several of the positives are based on "what ifs," and we will have to see what comes of the near future situation. But this is why I am not as upset today. 1. I don't like Lovie. Frankly, I was never high on him from day one, and felt we went to the SB in spite of him more than due to him. With that said, we did go to the SB w/ him, so regardless how much credit any want to give, it is possible. I think the key more than Lovie is who is below Lovie. An army can have a so-so general if it has solid majors, captains, sargeants. 2. As much a…

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4814933 Sources: Carroll taking Bates, NortonComment Email Print Share ESPN.com news services Pete Carroll has resigned as the football coach of the USC Trojans, the Los Angeles Daily News reported Sunday. Carroll has reached an agreement in principle with the Seattle Seahawks on a deal to be their next head coach, multiple NFL sources confirmed to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter early Saturday morning. Seahawks chief executive officer Tod Leiweke was in Los Angeles on Sunday to finalize the deal, the Los Angeles Times reported. NFC West blog ESPN.com's Mike Sando writes about all things NFC Wes…

Makes no sense. We read the Tribune reports and they all say Carrol would be perfectly fine if Bates left, yet he's now trying to have him come to Seattle. WTF.

Per Rotoworld: I would actually really like this re-hire. Fewell was our DB's coach in 2005, and has been the DC in Buffalo since 2006. Like Rotoworld mentioned, having him focusing on the Secondary and Marinelli on the D-Line could make for a solid team of coaches.

As you know, I try to remain an optimist when it comes to the Bears. Here are a few thoughts that may help you remain one too. So, have at it, I'm not happy with what I've seen from these guys for the last few years either, but here are the things that keep me hopeful for next season... We needed a new OC. I don't think anyone here was in love with Turner. Now we'll get one. And hopefully whoever it is will be able to make the best of our new QB. Cutler seems to be involved in this process. This can be a good thing or a bad thing. You don't want the inmates running the asylum but he did seem to be right, all along, about DA. What the heck, let him pick a…

to all those who thought mikey was just the gardener the truth will set you free... who teddy, angelo AND lovie are really accountable to: a 1000 year old unwrapped mummy and mike mccaskey. it really is business as usual and has been since phillips took over.

another ex Ram Coach Lovie seems to only want people he has either worked with in Tampa or with the Rams.

What are your thoughts on their performance so far? 1st - Williams 2nd - Forte 3rd - Bennett 3rd - Harrison 4th - Steltz 5th - Bowman 5th - Davis 6th - Baldwin (gone) 7th - ? Throw in Hanie as UDFA and DA and Roach who we snagged off of other teams practice squads. To me, this is actually shaping up as a fairly good group. Thoughts? Peace

Both have done exceptional jobs with young QBs. I also recall Clements being highly regarded. He could be a great option as well.

Found this on Jim Trotter twitter "be careful charlie weis: one of the bears' fired assistants just told me that jay cutler is a "coach killer". " Sour grapes or truth.....

Do they wait until after the Super Bowl, or is this something they get done soon? I would hope the sooner the better to get the head start on next season.

This was mentioned on Mully & Hanley think it was with Fox. Anyone got a link?

Next defensive coordinator? Meet the candidates Interesting read mentioning what they feel would be the top 4 candidates for our new DC.

Next offensive coordinator? Meet the candidates Here are 8 candidates that are speculated as being considered for our OC position.

Your thoughts?

Could Brian McCaskey be the next in line? I think Dan McNeil has made mention of this in the Trib... http://www.csnchicago.com/pages/blog_moon

I was laid off 8 months ago due to poor economic conditions and bad descisions in my old company. I was the best at doing what i did in my office. This group of assholes cant do the basics of their job. Make playoffs, draft to continuously build and rebuild team, sign key FAs, make adjustments to get the job done... I mean the list goes on and on. Its seriously a mockery of us the fans. Can u even imagine that Zombie Smith is gonna make 11M dollars no matter what......and i cant even fathom what angelo makes. If i was 30% productive and never disciplined because i already signed a contract for the one time i wasnt a Fuckup it'd be heaven on earth. Screw this organization,…
