Rod Marinelli Is The Best Defensive Coordinator The Bears Knew How To Get A Hold Of

by Shea Johnson on Friday 5 February 2010 at 9:35 pm

The last post of the week; something to ponder as you await the certain couch slouch and booze binge of the weekend.

It appears Rod Marinelli will be your defensive coordinator after all. Oh, and Eric Washington and Shane Day are your new defensive line and quarterbacks coaches, too. And just like that, the Chicago Bears have turned what was a painfully sloooow search into a quickly finalized one. I’m sure it had nothing to do with lack of another candidate or outside unrest.

The Near-Impending, Mind-Exploding Return Of That ‘Windy City Flyer’ Fellow

by Shea Johnson on Thursday 4 February 2010 at 11:45 pm

If only because: this is the third anniversary of one of the most depressing days of my young life, the offseason thus far has been unconvincing, and the decline of the Bears since the 2006 season has been so abrupt, I’m pretty excited to hear today that Devin Hester “would love to get back in that situation with the return game.” (more…)

Dick Jauron Meekly Accepts Eagles Coaching Offer

by Matt Phillip on Wednesday 3 February 2010 at 2:15 pm

In dumb coaching moves NOT related to the Bears, the Philly Eagles have done Angelo & Co. one better and hired Dick Jauron to be their defensive backs coach for the upcoming season. Well, I guess it makes sense ’cause Jauron was a DB back in his playing days in the 70’s. But really???? How can an organization hire this man, with his 60-82 coaching record, to try and tell Asante Samuel to go out and light up Miles Austin next season? He looks like a paper tiger to the umpth degree.

Also, he looks like Al Davis nephew…..son……..whatever works better.

It’s Likely Hunter Hillenmeyer Will Soon Forget He Donated His Brain To Science

by Shea Johnson on Monday 1 February 2010 at 6:15 pm

“The only way we will truly understand the long-term effects of repetitive head trauma in football is to study a large group of athletes throughout their lives and then examine their brains following death,” said Dr. Robert Stern, a co-director of the Center [for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy]. Clearly, the man has never sat through an Emmitt Smith broadcast.

Mike Martz Is Your New Offensive Coordinator

by Shea Johnson on Monday 1 February 2010 at 5:25 pm

Well, that didn’t take long. Siiiike! It took a very long time. But in the end, it appears the Chicago Bears are prepared to take the path oft-traveled: Hire Mike Martz to fix your fledgling offense. It’s his third O.C. role in four years.  Before I tell you what I think, let us hear your thoughts.

Unfortunately, This Is Still Illegal In Wisconsin And Minnesota

by Shea Johnson on Monday 1 February 2010 at 1:00 am

Okay … Um … Let’s see … Geez.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this. But I have a feeling the thousands of Packers and Vikings fans around the, you know, respective states of Wisconsin and Minnesota will disagree. Unless, they’re homosexual of course. Thanks to JerBear50 for the tip. (more…)

Mike Martz Interviews, If That Means Anything To You

by Shea Johnson on Friday 29 January 2010 at 7:30 pm

The last post of the week; something to ponder as you await the certain couch slouch and booze binge of the weekend.

Are the Chicago Bears still searching for their offensive coordinator? Really? I would have sworn they’d do something about that by now. Eager Mike Martz interviewed for the position he made everyone aware he was very available for early in the month and reports are the Kevin Rogers interview went really well. So, there’s that.

The Bears Need A Safety, Myron Rolle Is A Safety

by Shea Johnson on Wednesday 27 January 2010 at 7:15 pm

Before the NFL Draft, every prospect is a stud. Am I right, every fan of every team? So once a week, until the Draft, we will highlight one prospect we think could really be a stud in navy blue and burnt orange. This week: Myron Rolle, S, Florida St. (more…)

Your Chicago Bears Every-Open-Coaching-Position Open Thread (Update)

by Shea Johnson on Tuesday 26 January 2010 at 10:20 pm

Somebody needs to take these jobs before the new candidate list gets out of hand. By jobs, I’m talking about Bears offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator, quarterbacks, tight ends and offensive line coach. And by out of hand, I’m talking about having no choice but to bring Scott Linehan in for a little chat. This has gotta be resolved soon, right? Candidates after the jump, talk amongst yourselves.

Perspective: Hey, It Could Be Worse

by Matt Phillip on Tuesday 26 January 2010 at 11:00 am

Yes, we’ve got a coach who seems to care as much about his team’s success as I care about personal hygiene; we’ve got ownership who seems stuck in the pre-Super Bowl NFL; and no matter how much we beg and plead, we can’t convince other coaches to come and work for us. But, even with those things working against us, the Bears still aren’t one of the bottom-feeding franchises in the league…yet. So, until we are, let’s take a look at those teams, point out their flaws, and start feeling better about ourselves! (more…)

Naturally, Everything Is Jay Cutler’s Fault

by Shea Johnson on Tuesday 26 January 2010 at 8:45 am

“Rumblings at the Senior Bowl are that some [coaching] candidates could be turned off by quarterback Jay Cutler and don’t want to hitch their wagon to him.” Dammit Jay, well what did you do that for?!

Really, Nobody Knows What The Hell The Bears Are Doing (Update)

by Shea Johnson on Monday 25 January 2010 at 8:30 pm

Basically, any coach that was considered to be qualified — minus Tice — for any of the vacant Bears coaching positions, has been turned away. The Bears weren’t “blown away” by Chargers tight end coach Rod Chudzinski and now Marvin Lewis isn’t allowing quarterbacks coach Ken Zampese to be considered at OC any longer because, in his words, that opportunity has “kind of closed up, and I don’t think Lovie (Smith) has made a decision on what he wants to do yet.” (more…)
