January 18, 200917 yr comment_56963 http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/be...T-rod18.article Peace Outstanding article! I can see the intensity level of play rising through the roof. He is going to have these guys fired up and that will carry over to the secondary play. We will see a return of the defense we all love. I honestly think we will be back in the top 5 on defense this year. Now offense, who the hell knows????? Report

If we had a top 10 defense last yr, we would have made the playoffs IMHO. Peace Report

January 18, 200917 yr comment_56969 Agreed. This is turning out to be the best move of our offseason. I agree, I have said several times that I do not think Detroit's problem was Marinelli. I believe there problem was Matt Millen. Now that Millen is gone and Spagnuolo can start bringing his own guys in there. I believe it will take Spag at least 3 years to fix there mess. Does anyone know how long of a contract he signed. Report

Schwarz, not Spagnuolo. Spag signed with the Rams Report
January 18, 200917 yr comment_56977 That article gets my blood flowing! I think he is going to be great for our line. Mark Anderson's career might not be over after all! Report
January 18, 200917 yr comment_56979 I'm not sure I can ever remember such effusive praise for a position coach. According to recent reports, Rod will: #1 Bring energy and motivation back to the Bears #2 Be responsible for the defense's success, moreso than the DC #3 Turn our wayward freak talent Tommie Harris into the next Warren Sapp #4 Make the Chicago Bears immediately a lot better #5 Be altogether life changing..."a jewel of a man" Report

Thanks for agreeing with us, LOL. Report
January 18, 200917 yr comment_56987 That actually is a great article, but it's hard not to look at the fact that he was just the captain of the first ever 0-16 ship. Report
January 18, 200917 yr comment_56988 That actually is a great article, but it's hard not to look at the fact that he was just the captain of the first ever 0-16 ship. Yeah I agree somewhat. I would have felt a little less comfortable with him being the DC cuz he's never done it before but now that he is back at his DL coaching job, I have no problem with him at all. He's the best in the league at what he does and the Bears will thrive off of it. I might go back to the training camp just to see this "30 minutes of Hell" workout that he has planned . Report
January 18, 200917 yr comment_56989 So because Lovie Smith is one of Marinelli's best friends. Marinelli signed on with the BEARS. Damn that Lovie he only hires his buddy's as assistants. Oh by the way former BEAR Ron Rivera's good friend Steve Wilks (former BEARS DB coach) will sign on as the Chargers new DB coach next week. Report
January 19, 200917 yr comment_57038 I think everyone knows coaches often hire coaches they know and have a relationship. When it comes to Lovie, I think the problem is one of perception stemming largely due to Babich. He choose to let a DC go who he did not have a good relationship w/, but had our D in the top 5, in favor of promoting his BFF, who totally bombed at his job. So while relationship hires may be part of the norm, I think Lovie lost a lot of cred due to his move w/ Babich. Marinelli looks like a great hire, but due to his debacle w/ Babich, I think it leaves a sour taste in many fans mouths. If it were not for Babich, I don't think anyone would make an issue of their prior relationship, but due to Babich, his former ties are being made an issue, despite how good of a hire it may actually be. So the issue is one of perception, but that perception was created due to Angelo's previous move w/ Babich. So because Lovie Smith is one of Marinelli's best friends. Marinelli signed on with the BEARS. Damn that Lovie he only hires his buddy's as assistants. Oh by the way former BEAR Ron Rivera's good friend Steve Wilks (former BEARS DB coach) will sign on as the Chargers new DB coach next week. Report
January 19, 200917 yr comment_57043 Could carel less if he is a friend of Lovies or not. If a former DC of the Bears will give some cudos, then i think its a right on hire. The defense will look like the D of old. Pressure, Pressure and more Pressure. Not only the fact that he is the Best DL coach in the League, but he is a quality human being. Look for this team to take drastic turn toward the playoffs next season. Report
