Ryan Pace and his high-falutin’ title of Bears general manager will submit Wednesday morning to a postmortem on a 2016 that death-spiraled into the worst 16-game season in franchise history. I have some things I’d like to hear.
I’d like Pace to assert that he is the top football decision-maker in the Bears organization.
I’d like Pace to state flatly he can fire and hire anyone he chooses.
I’d like Pace to point out that players trying hard is not something a coach should brag about but something that should be as expected as wearing a helmet.
I’d like Pace to stress that bad clock management is embarrassing and unacceptable on a professional sideline.
I’d like Pace to maintain it’s a public failing to answer questions with an incomprehensible word salad that plays fans for stupid.
I’d like Pace to add that it’s a public failing to talk up an often-lost offensive coordinator who doesn’t know who his best offensive player is while sounding cool and distant about a defensive coordinator who might be the best assistant on the staff.
I’d like Pace to announce there will be a new starting quarterback and new offensive coordinator.
I’d like Pace to declare he’s replacing Fox as head coach and will hire an offensive-minded coach who can develop a quarterback and call plays.
Yeah, I’d like Pace to say and do all that, but I don’t think Fox would let him.
