I really don't want to roll the dice on someone new. We have done that counless times and it has never worked. I want someone proven.
Someone proven like Fox who went to multiple Super Bowls? Or someone proven like Trestman who won two championships in the CFL and had a .635 winning percentage? Nah, man. If they choose to fire Fox on January 1st, I want a clean start with a fresh face. Someone NEW. Like it or not, Lovie still is the best Bears HC since Ditka and he was an unproven coordinator before we hired him.
Either we hire a current NFL coordinator who's never been a HC before or we give some college HC a chance to make something outta this team. We don't necessarily need someone "proven". We're not in win-now mode. We have time. Our team is pretty young, rookie QB, rookie TE, second year RB & C/OG, third year WR - it's the perfect time to clean house and start from scratch.
No not like Fox. Someone who not only rode a team to the SB, but actually built the team he rode to the SB.
Tell ya what... Since both Fox and Tucker have been anointed as just needing one more year, the two of them can start their own team. It doesn't matter who is HC and who is DC. The results will be the same.
