Here's the reality of the situation. Lovie wanted to hire Fewell however there was no way he would choose the Bears over the Giants. With the Giants he was getting better talent and a chance to run the defense on his own (Couglin's expertise is on offense). He would have been #2 to Lovie here on defense and we all know that.
They felt their next best option was Marinelli who Lovie had tried to hire when he was originally hired. I would have preferred they wait to interview Williams but its over so we move on.
Peace
Everyone does realize that Marinelli is the guy Lovie wanted to hire in the first place before Babich and Rivera? Sink or swim, this is all on Lovie and JA now.

I was at the Cardinals game and I would say without hesitation we did not deserve to be in the playoffs. Playoff teams do not get blown out the way we did 4 times.
Peace
If Martz is hired, I see them either taking off or going through the floor with no middle ground. Most likely, it will prove to be a disaster and we will be getting a new GM and coaching staff next yr.

I was refering to this statement that you made: Good candidates that come here know that this isn't where they want to be and aren't truely interested in coaching for a Lame Duck and the quacks leading this mess..
I would argue that Tice is an outstanding candidate for OL coach. So how does that fit into your statement? Why would he come here?
Peace
Can't do that. Don't you know the Bears are the laughing stock of the league!!!!! The funny thing is this reminds alot of when Jerry Krause was trying to get top tiered free agents to come to Chicago. I remember them bringing Benny the Bull to the airport to meet Tracy McGrady. I wonder if Staley greets our candidates at Halas Hall???
I agree with you. Let's just wait this out and see what happens.
Peace
This is nothing but conjecture. No way, in my opinion, do they have any kind of an arrangement with Cowher. If they wanted him, a change would have already been made.
