Bears’ Dysfunction Comes To Light With John Fox On Hot Seat

And once again it's leaking out that Pace had another prospect in mind for HC but that Fox ended up being tabbed to offset his inexperience.  I hypothesized on this once before and some thought I was nuts or some kind of a conspiracy nut but too much has happened to make me think that Pace did a "go along to get along" deal in order to secure the job.

No one could have predicted it then but right now I see the hands of John Fox all over a number of personnel decisions that have not panned out well.  To me the biggest indication of this was passing on a young QB prospect like Dak Prescott who would have been a great fit to apprentice behind Cutler in order to draft two backup DBs one of whom has been inactive almost every game and may not even make the 2017 roster.

Keep in mind that Pace said he was anxious to draft a QB each year yet in two consecutive years he's passed on doing that when certainly this year Prescott was there for the taking right where he was ranked.  It's inconceivable to me that all three guys we took ranked higher than a talented mobile QB with an NFL arm.  You can add to that the only one whose every answered for this is Fox and he tossed it off with his usual bs.  But Pace has never commented on it which tells me something about a disagreement.

Keep in mind a GM will try to give his HC who he asks for when he can so poor personnel decisions are not always 100% on him.  I'll toss in JA's decision to trade Olsen because Martz didn't want him and wouldn't throw to him as a classic example.  JA may get the bulk of the blame but it was his OCs personnel decision.  I see much the same here in some cases.  Fox is a master manipulator so to think he hasn't played that game with Pace is like believing Trumpy when he says he never played grab ass (or grab pussy) with any of those women.  To use his own quote....."I don't think so".  LOLOL

If Pace is letting others pick his coaches and/or players then he is a fool.  I don't think he is a fool though.  I think he is 100% trusted as GM and has the keys to the car.  I think he was "all in" on Fox.

But the bottom-line is that none of us know what went on behind closed doors.  So the "Conspiracy Theories" are not facts except in the minds of people who want to believe anything.

One other thing that amazes me.  The people amaze me, who take "rumors" that sports media people put out there as fact.  Sometimes these rumors are true.  Often they are not.  I like to just take things at face value until I see evidence to the contrary.  I'm just not into the conspiracy theory stuff.  But LOL it makes me pretty boring.  Maybe space aliens have - in fact - performed a brain implant of Ted Philips and the extra-terrestrials are choosing our coaches and players from their home planet, many light years from earth (or maybe Putin is behind it all).  Or it could be Hilary Clinton's alien love child (see the "official photo" below).

Me?

I would rather believe the Bears General Manager is, you know, (*gasp*) being the GM.  LOL, Who knew?

My new conspiracy theory is that...its Long and Sitton that are killing the OFF. First game with both of them out and the OL plays better than ever against the #1 ranked DEF. Just by watching the TV broadcast anyone can tell that the difference today was not playing Long and Sitton. In a production based game, that means Long and Sitton don't get their starting spots back right? Am I right? Right? All about the production we were told, all about the production. Team just looked better on TV without them.
