You mean like Jerry Rice, Joe Montana, Joe Namath, Junior Saeu, etc.... Happens all the time. Here's a list of a whole bunch of them. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/714377-...-the-wrong-team Loved Urlacher as a player. He is a Hall of Famer. He also is not the player he used to be. Unless he is willing to come back for somewhere around league minimum, its time to move on. Peace

He is not under contract. They would not be cutting him. Peace

Great hire. Essentially a grad assistant. This is how Ron Rivera started. Peace

No one is trading us anything for Hester. Peace

He must have had pictures of Lovie with an animal because he should have been fired years ago. Peace

Just pointing out that past performance does not necessarily reflect future success or failure. Peace

Hard to believe a former failed coach in Cleveland would be a good hire. You know, Bill Belichick. Peace

This 110% Peace

Drake was horrible. He did not develop 1 player while he was here. I always wondered how the hell he stayed on. Peace

Exactly. Peace

He is under contract and doesn't have the conflict Toub did (Toub interviewed for the HC job and a has legitimate reason to leave). The Bears are being extremely nice if they are letting him leave for a demotion. I would assume they are not paying him any of his remaining contract since he is requesting to leave. Peace

Lovie is making 5 million this year and doesn't have to do any work. He'll be fine. Peace

Agreed. I don't really care about media coverage. Peace

I not sure what you mean by "the media". Are you referring to local or national or both? I heard a lot of mixed messages from "the media" over the past two weeks (both in support of Emery's actions and against them). Please take no offense but I think you are over generalizing. As for Lovie, I really felt he would get a head coaching job. I believe he is an above average coach but not a great coach. I guess with the concentration on offense, it is going to be harder for defensive coordinators to get head coaching gigs now. Peace

He has not been re-instated by the league yet. Peace

Great update - thanks.

Just had to rattle the cage a bit. FYI - he has drawn a lot of comparisons to Jauron from an intelligence standpoint (i.e. the smartest guy in the room). Peace

Play calling will be different (obviously). I like the hire. However, this is not a guy who going to throw his headphones or jump up and down on the sidelines so I know for sure some people might be disappointed. Peace

Agreed 100%. Peace

I'm sure he has and I bet we will start hearing 'rumors' tomorrow. Peace

Lou Canelis (sp?) on the Final Word last night said he had been told Thursday or Friday this week (not sure by whom). Peace

He better be gone. He is horrible. Peace

This had to be for a lesser position because they cannot deny a interview for a promotion. Peace

Tony Scheffler would be a lot cheaper and he played with Cutler at Denver. Peace

Miller and Gonzalez had huge games today. If I was Emery, the first move I would make after hiring the new coach would be to cut Kellen Davis. Peace
