If ridding our team of Fox is the key to our team turning around, they should at the very least consider having Fangio be interim through the end of the year. What has the team got to lose?

If the 'offensive play calling' is stunting Trubisky, then replace the offensive play caller. Why Fox hasn't done it yet is beyond me. Perhaps that should be enough to encourage me to jump on the bandwagon with you? Trubisky has now called out who(?) Fox? And asked for Cohen to play more? What have you seen from Cohen that convinces you he deserves more time to play? Especially with Howard as the projected #1 RB? Fox is known to be an RBC guy historically, so why is it he's not demanding it more? And yes, please explain to me why players like Shaheen, K. White, Hronis Grasu, Tayo Fabuluge, Deon Bush, Deondre Hall, Deondre Houston-Carson, Daniel Braverman and Jordan Morgan aren't playing? Those are all players that Pace has drafted and cultivated for Fox to use and are almost nowhere to be seen. So instead he brings in these no-name or near forgotten FA's to backfill. Why aren't these draft picks producing? Is it because Fox can't coach them? My simple reply to your last question would be; what are the players thinking? We know last week Hicks supported Fox staying. We even know that Urlacher endorsed him. I don't really care what Trubisky thinks, especially if its contrary; he hasn't yet proven he has any stake in this team's future. If Fox has truly LOST the team, and its convincing he has...then I'm good with him being gone.

To borrow a "Gone with the Wind" reference; "Frankly, I could give a damn" when you can't understand my logic. But I'm sure the same would be said in response from you. Yes the odds are that Fox will be gone but I have this unsettling belief he is not the root of our woes. You can blindly follow in faith to what Pace will do from here on out, but I won't be so easily won over. Again, I'm sure you could care none more. Be that as it may, we will move on to someone new and next year will be Pace's to own. I just hope that its not at the expense of our team.

I disagree. I think not ridding us of Pace sooner than later only delays the inevitable.

To some degree I agree with you. Im just not sure that ridding us of Fox will cure all our ills. I get it you don’t like Fox and the lack of production you perceive as his fault. But using your own words “...like the Giants just did” would involve ousting Pace as well. Which to me is more important.

I know you won't want me to repeat this but I'm going to anyway. I still have a hard time placing blame on Fox for what we're looking at. He has been to two (COUNT THEM 2) Super Bowls with not ONE but TWO different teams in TWO different eras. Sure what he has done is just that, been done. I get your perspective but I think that simply an excuse to get rid of him because for whatever reason, you don't like him or his style. I don't buy that the NFL has changed that much that his effectiveness has worn out. If that were true then Bill Belichick and the "Patriot Way" as well as John Harbaugh and the "Raven Way" would be obsolete. The unproven between Fox and Pace is clearly and unquestionably Pace. I almost hate for Fox's career to be sullied because of the situation he was put in to not be able to produce in Chicago. Is that completely Pace's fault? No. Part of the delay of Fox's ability to develop this team was due to the ridiculous (I'd say ludicrous) contract Cutler was given with which the Bears were not able to escape sooner. That delayed our team's development for sure by one year if not two. Many here thought with a new coaching staff and specifically a QB friendly OC, with the likes of Gase, Cutler would surely turn it around. He showed a glimmer of hope that one year with Gase but fell back to his old ways almost immediately once Gase was gone. Should and could Fox have sat Cutler's ass earlier than he did last year and had Hoyer or even Barkley play out last year? In retrospect; yes. But the very next question I would ask is whose idea was it to bring in Glennon for his own ridiculous contract (lf only for one year) only to draft a QB in the first round? Then not only that but, knowing our team had multiple holes to fill, squander present and future draft picks to get an unproven (and raw) QB talent like Trubisky. You think that was Fox's plan? I highly doubt it. No. I blame a lot (if not all) of this mess on Pace. Like I said before Fox will undoubtedly be the fall guy for what I see as Pace's inexperience and ineptitude. Pace will 'pick his own coach' and more than likely like Emery will foul things up even more in the personnel management continuing our limp through a few more years' worth of less than mediocre performances. Like DBDB points out in his reply, he'll have a hard time convincing any coach worth their weight to come to our team to take it on knowing the dysfunction that awaits.

Agreed totally. To me it makes more sense to clean house (GM down), at this point, than it doesn't.

Ok I’m throwing in the towel. Blow it up and start over with all Coaches. This team isn’t going anywhere until Pace is ousted. Enjoy a few more years of less than mediocrity. Maybe I’ll start watching the Bulls. Damn!

Ha!!! If only... Wouldn’t it be ‘funny’ if we lose to Gould kicking FGs for the SF win? Just want to point out that Pace was the one that got rid of Gould.

So who does FG/XP if need? O’Donnell?

I’ll say this Garrapollo (sp?) looks pretty solid. If we can get Biscuit to perform at least that well at some point (this year or next) we’d be sitting pretty.

Anything’s possible.

And if they win?

Technically you asked for those of us in support of Fox staying how would be feel if we lost? I’d “feel” sad but would still say fire Loggains.

Wow! Nice 100 yard punt return! Lololol

Welcome back Lamar! Please don’t blow out your ACL.

I hear ya. And Trubisky needs to be more heads up on a play like that. I get protecting the ball outside when running but when you need to stretch for first down...extend with the right.

I’d be curious to see how many of the total penalties on the team this year are on the oline. I’d bet percentage wise they lead.

I’ll say it again...love me some DONTRELLE Inman.

Null

Yikes. You’re right... although being a Navy man...not so? Lol

I’m just saying but if you hear those pops on the field, Reuben Foster is in the area. Last two plays he’s laid some serious wood. Coulda drafted him but... no

I love me some Inman. With he, hopefully Meredith, a 1st/2nd round pick and another FA pickup we could have a pretty nice WR corps.

Fire Loggains.

Of course NOW Kyle decides to show up and play.
