Maybe but you know what else would make us look different? New Uniforms!
That's not gonna happen nor will dreaming of a different past. The time is over now. It's on to new tomorrows.
You can cry all you want but when you wake up, it will still be the same team.
Sure, aesthetically we would look different. Knowing the cheapness of Bears ownership. They're demand tax payers pay half of it.
All I know is you had a guy who is one of the best to ever coach, has spoken multiple times about wanting to be a Bear HC and we stick with a guy who has one of the worst NFL HC records.
I will cry and dream about a person who would of brought us to the promised land instead of a HC who is losing his team.
Flus is definitely not losing his team.... His fans.... well, that's another story

I keep thinking that winning solves a lot of problems. If the team begins stacking some wins and Caleb starts looking more like Caleb then the fans will - for the most part - calm down. LOL, I include myself here too
Ask yourself this. If Jim Harbaugh was our HC. Would our team look better? I'm willing to put money on that it would be. We wouldn't of even went after Rome and went after oline as Harbaugh believes in building up the line first.
I just figure that ship has sailed. I'm not going to live in the past on that stuff (LOL, it would make me crazier than I already am, MOTM ).
He has led a team to a SB. Played 7 years for the Bears. Is a former QB and would have been an excellent mentor for your franchise QB. Eberflus strikes me as a guy that has a 5th of bourbon locked in his office desk drawer. The pressure's mounting, if you catch my drift.

I get it about Harbaugh. But here's the deal. I try to let past stuff go. I have been a Bears fan for over 60 years now. If I began lamenting over the past stuff... things I can do zero about now, I'd be in a mental institution for the rest of my days. And truthfully, I do try to live this way (of letting go of the past), with everything in my life. I try to remember the good stuff, and not dwell on the bad stuff. And I sure as heck don't dwell on stuff I have no control over. When I can keep to this (and sometimes I admittedly don't do so well) I am a happier guy.

Well i'm still pissed the Vikings didn't land him (Harbaugh). This is O'Connell's last chance in my book. He's always been regarded as some mr. QB /offfensive wizard yad yada. Put up or shut up time right here.

Line 1: Hahaha!
Line 2: Flus has nowhere near one of the worst NFL HC records.
Line 3: cry and dream all you want, JH might or might not have gotten us to the "promised" land, you don't know if Flus will or not either, and Flus is definitely NOT losing his team.
.306 winning record. In contrast, Marc Trestman had a .406 record.

I guess DJ Moore actions on the field will say something differently.

I posted this in the other thread too. Context is needed with that record. The first season was our tank season. The roster was nuked... scorched earth nuked of talent. And we did successfully tank and get the #1 draft pick. The 2nd season (last season) the team improved the last half of the season. Bears went 5-3 and looked like it was getting better. The defense really came on and improved over the course of that year.
Beginning this 3rd year we are 1-1 with what appears to be one of the best defenses in the NFL and (finally) for the first time since the 1939 draft of old Sid Luckman, we have (hopefully) an elite franchise QB. I think most of us posters here on this messageboard have agreed that 2025 would be the year the rebuild would be finished. That still looks very much a doable thing with 3 picks in the first two rounds next year. And the 2nd round pick is from the Carolina Panthers... should be nearly a 1st round pick. That should finish off the OL needs. So a reality check is that the defense is ahead of schedule (should be a top-5 of the NFL this year) and the installation of a new offense should be making progress as this year goes on. Think about it. It is a bunch of new players, new coaching staff (on offense), new coordinator bringing in a new playbook and new schemes - all led by a rookie QB1 tossed into the deep end of the pool day-1.
Who in their right mind would NOT expect some very rough play on offense? Right? That won/loss record includes a tank year, an 8-9 season, and now a 1-1 record. It is too early to panic... in fact stupid to panic. We should sit back, shut up, and watch what happens now. Could be bad. Could be good. We won't know until we know. And I'm fine with that.

I remember hearing Jim Harbaugh 49ers were expected to having a losing record in 2011. Yet to good coaching. The opposite happen. Dude went to the NFC Championship his first year as HC. The last time the 49ers were a playoff team was 2002 but a great HC can make anything happen.
We're watching Jim Harbaugh turn around the Chargers right now. Can we stop pretending a good HC can make a huge difference... The Chargers are above the Chiefs in their division currently... HIS FIRST YEAR is above a dynasty team....

Abe Gibron 0.274
John Fox 0.291
and those guys didn't have torn down to bare bones teams.
And don't ignore guys like Hue Jackson, Steve Spagnuolo, Gus Bradley, David Shula, Pat Shurmur, Dave McGinnis and Marion Campbell who all had 0.300 or less.
