Pretty good insite to what is holding back a winner. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/chi-0...,6671947.column Dan McNeil 11:34 p.m. CST, December 3, 2009 E-mail Print Share Text Size As another year of the poorly produced soap opera "All My Bears" winds down, speculation on which cast members return for the 2010 season has been riveting. For the first time in a long time, the prospect of a new executive producer and director is real. Bear Nation is buzzing. Virginia McCaskey, nearing 87, can make her Papa Bear proud by pulling perhaps her last string to bring a precipitously sinking franchise back to respectability and regain the trust of a t…

http://www.1070thefan.com/dakich/podcast.aspx?pn=3 Scroll down to the inteview from 12-03-09. Talk about a DL coach. He was a little off on his Tomlin comments, but I agree I loved it.

I think it's reasonable to assume there are probably 1,000,000 Bears fans around the country. I propose we all chip in $5 toward firing Lovie. That would total 5 million and the Bears can come up with the other half.

Gone to Jets(i think)

I know it will make a lot of people vomit, me included, but next logical person we could be after for DC is Joe Barry. He is another big Tampa 2 guy, is Rod Marinelli's son in law, and when Marinelli was in Detroit, Barry was his DC. He seems like he'd be the perfect fit for Lovie. He'd be cheap, and probably go right along with Lovie and be the perfect yes man.

Pix, Have you heard anything from Jeff, Da Webmaster in some time? I miss guys like him.

Once again we lose another potential OC. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/...ator-candidate/

I was just looking back at the schedule in retrospect, and damn this is going to be a rough year no matter what coaches are hired. The Bears have games against 3 of the toughest divisions in the NFL, NFC East, AFC East, and their own. Half of their games will be against teams that made it into the play offs this year. They of course play the Packers and Vikings twice. They will host the Eagles, Patriots, and the Jets. Plus, they will travel to the Cowboys this year. I'd hate to call the Lions a give me game. They have been improving, but I'm glad the Bears play them twice. The Bills and Carolina are some what disfunctional, but still pose some what of a challen…

I am a fan of the highlight reel. Found one on You tube that is pretty decent. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uF_Z3IMwevM I know the Lovie detractors will point out the middle segment, which coincidently is where the season soured (in the middle). But I will counter with those same people who claimed that Lovie had "lost the team/locker room" with the segment of video at the end. Especially the section with the second Viking's game. Looks to me like a lot of players really wanting to win and pretty happy when they eventually did. Another positive to take away from this video. Besides all the the good things that occured over the WHOLE season (many I eve…

Martz sheds light on hiring process February, 1, 2010 Feb 16:40PM CTEmail Print Share By JEFF DICKERSONFT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- New Bears offensive coordinator Mike Martz just shared some insight on the whole hiring process during a conference call with Chicago media members. "Lovie was very clear from the beginning this was going to take time for him to go through step by step," Martz said. "He did it the right way, especially since he got the job done. He was very clear about this from the very beginning." Martz detailed his meeting with Jay Cutler last week in Nashville, where in addition to having dinner, to two had some serious football related discussio…

Jets officially hire Mark Carrier Posted by Mike Florio on February 12, 2010 5:55 PM ET During his career, Mark Carrier was a hard-hitting safety whose penchant for kill shots ultimately got him suspended. He has since gotten into coaching, and he'll now join one of the toughest defensive units in the land. The Jets have announced that Carrier has been hired to coach the team's defensive line. The impending move was first reported last week by the Baltimore Sun. Carrier spent the past four seasons as the secondary coach with the Ravens.

Bears | Holt says he would be good fit for offense Comment (0) Sat, 13 Feb 2010 06:46:12 -0800 Updating a previous item, ESPNChicago.com reports free-agent WR Torry Holt (Jaguars) said during a radio interview Friday, Feb. 12, that he would be a good fit for the Chicago Bears offense due to his relationship with new offensive coordinator Mike Martz. "I think I could fit in really well with that ballclub and add a really good veteran presence," Holt said. "In (Martz's) system you've got to be able to run," Holt aded. "That's one of the things I would tell those guys, you better be able to run, and you better be cerebral to learn, and you better have thick ski…
