If Fang is leaving b/c he doesn't agree w/Fox, then that should be the final nail in the Fox coffin, only one of the main coaches should be guaranteed to stay, and thats Fangio.
+1,000 The best asset this team has is Vic Fangio. I wonder if Fox sees Fangio as a threat to his own job and this is his way of dealing with that.

I hope Pace sees Fangio as a better option than Fox. I don't support uprooting Fox UNLESS he's planning on abandoning the only moderately successful unit on this FB team. Then, **** Fox..
First Gase and now Fangio. The Bears can't afford to lose another great coordinator.
This thread revives the notion Fangio should be our HC. Can we start a petition? Team would be better off with Gase/Fangio as the HC and Fox as the coord.

Not sure. As a coord, you actually have to do something and bring along the players. Don't think Fox can. He is more of a guy that brings people together. That seems to be a fail seems more like a wedge. Same as the second year turnaround.
It would cost the team a chunk of change to eat Fox's contract. Maybe he figures he's invulnerable for next year. Fangio isn't going to take any crap from Fox because Fangio would be a very hot commodity as a DC. He'd have multiple offers and could cherry pick a nice job elsewhere. I don't know about HC jobs, but as far as coordinator jobs he'd have zero problem getting a good team to go to.

100% AGREE
Fox and Loggains are easily replaceable. Fangio isn't. The guy has made a decent, even good, defense out of practically nothing.

And the fact that fans are saying that Fangio is more valuable than Fox may be one of the reasons that Fox lets Fangio go. He has an ego.
The only reason that I wanted the Bears to hire John Fox is that I thought he could assemble the best staff for the team. Walking in the door with Adam Gase and Vic Fangio made me feel vindicated.
If Fangio walks a year after Gase...I will feel downright hornswoggled.
(And if I were Ryan Pace...I would fire everybody)
Figures. Typical Bears clusterfuck. The only ranking coach worth keeping wants to leave?
I'd offer the head job to fangio if he's thinking of leaving.
I'd offer the HC job to him anyway and invite Fox to announce his retirement. Lacking that I'd show him the door. The one that opens into the alley next to the dumpster he's been setting fires in all season long.
