Bears Year End Presser Set For January 4th............

Pace looks like he will be bringing his pet albatross to the meeting

This, along with Ryan Pace's most recent interview complete with an invitation to join him at the kool-aid bar, would tend to confirm what I've been suspecting for the last two weeks.  Fox will get another shot at keeping his job so it's likely that 2017 will include a healthy dose of "more of the same".

I would guess this also means no major changes will take place at the very top which means again as I suspected the McCaskeys simply won't agree to hand the reins of running their team over to anyone who has total control and as a result no top NFL Exec will come to work for them and work under Ted Phillips.

Five'll get ya' ten that one reason we have a rookie GM is that others with more experience like Eric DeCosta said no to any overtures Accorsi may have made.  More and more this looks to me like the Bears always need to settle for less everywhere due primarily to the way the team is mismanaged at the very top.

Well run teams simply don't tolerate or accept the performance of a HC like John Fox.  Even Buffalo fired Rex Ryan who had a far better record that John Fox after two seasons.  So if anyone still has any thoughts that this is Ryan Pace's team to run as he sees fit I think you can tuck them away in a drawer labeled more Bears lies and bullshit from the top.

I'll make one more comment here as well.  I'll betcha we also hear little or nothing from Teddy Bears or the McCaskeys following this presser.  They're gonna let Fox and Pace make their excuses, and peddle their kool-aid and they will play ostrich so they can avoid all the hard questions that may be thrown at them.  Like I've said before some things never change.

Every other sports team in town except maybe the Bulls have managed to reinvent themselves through better upper management but here's our beloved Bears still stumbling along run by a 92 year old daughter of the "father of pro football" and her sons who inherited at least half their genes from Ed McCaskey a man Halas called "the dumbest sonuvabitch" he'd ever met and a bean counter with zero background in NFL football.

Should we actually have any right to expect something different?

I believe in most organizations, the assistant coaches are chosen by the HC, not the GM. Here sweaty does it, lol
