The Bears fail because of continued ineptitude in 1 area

Yeah, not a surprise. Angelo had Jureon for a year then hired Lovie. Emery had Lovie for a year and then hired Trestman. Pace was forced into Fox, and Poles was apparently given a list of three to pick from.

You can trace things back through the QB as well. Fox didn't want Cutler or Trubsky. Nagy claimed to want Trubisky but....And then Flus stuck with Fields.

Then you have the fans who don't want an OFF HC because of Trestman and Nagy.

Its a complete mess. And the way the NFL teams print money for the owners, no way the McCaskys sell....ever.

This isn't hard to figure out.  They do this shit every time.  

Not that Bears brass cares what we think and say here, but I and others were screaming to replace Pace & Nagy after the 2020 season.  They foolishly kept them -- remember the excuse?  It was "good collaboration".  What a freakin joke!  Th real reason is that George didn't want to eat the cost of the contracts.

They came out of the Emery/Trestman debacle by forcing Fox onto Pace and Cutler onto Fox.  Neither wanted the other in both pairings.  That worked out so great that Pace literally ignored his own HC and kept him in the dark while he missed the QB of a generation by choosing Trubisky instead.  Then Pace fired Fox and forced Trubisky onto Nagy.  When that failed, they held onto those two losers too long which forced Pace's 2nd QB pick (Fields) onto Poles and Flus.  Who knows if Flus was even Poles' first choice as HC, probably not.

The Bears do this shit all the time.  Maybe it's because they're too timid to make sweeping changes.  Maybe they force these mismatches cuz they're saving money by not eating existing contracts.  Maybe they think they're the smartest guys in the room.  I don't know.

What I do know is that your chances of long-tern success are highest when you let your GM hire his own HC and the two of them together select their own QB.  You know, you start fresh and have EVERYONE TIED TOGETHER and MOTIVATED TOGETHER.

Otherwise, you constantly have these mismatches.  This isn't rocket science, guys.

The Giants actually had a WORSE record than the Bears in 2021. They were 4-14. As I have said for a long time, it does NOT take a total roster teardown (like Poles did) and then 3 years to at least get back to looking like a decent football team. But you DO need to hire a competent GM and HC. The Bears 5-person “committee” interview Joe Schoen for GM and Brian Daboll for HC. Then, in their infinite wisdom hired Poles. What happen after that is that Schoen became GM for the Giants and Daboll HC. Incidentally, I was campaigning for Daboll here when Eberflus was hired. So, the Giants went to 9-7-1 in 2022 and beat the Vikings in the playoffs before losing to the Eagles. Meanwhile, the Poles experiment proceeded as planned, and the Bears finished 2022 at 3-14 with the worse damn Bears team I can remember. But, never fear, he had $100M and the #1 draft pick to get everything back on track in 2023 and Super Bowl ready by 2024-25. So here we are with the worst team in the NFL in 2023 – ranked #32 by the power ranking websites. Of course we don’t need them to know how $#%^ing BAD this team is.

What now? We have seen that McCaskey and his hand-picked committee is not up to the job. We have to trust something or somebody to right the ship. If Kevin Warren has the balls to fire all these guys, I say trust him to hire the next GM. On the other hand, if he and McCaskey launch a public relations program to keep Poles at the end of the year and fire Eberflus as sacrificial scapegoat, then I will have no confidence in Warren, either. In that case, Poles will have two top-5 draft picks in 2024. Imagine that. He will “trade down” at least one of them for bundle of lower picks which he will again squander on guys like we have on the roster today in an attempt to fill some of the many holes he created.

The fact that some in the media try and say the Mc's are hands off are either knowingly lying ore allowing the Mc's to purposefully mislead. No one that has followed this club since the 90's should believe they are hands off. They are in every GM and HC interview, they aren't in there twiddling their thumbs, there is no reason to believe they aren't giving their opinions to the president/GM or consultants. 

And this gives us the reason to the pattern. Mc's are more then just dipping into the operations of their franchise, even if they know they shouldn't be, b/c their "just fans".
