"the Bears had previously blocked him from pursuing other opportunities in years past."...that right there would make me want to say FU at the first opportunity lol

He was denied an opportunity (not multiple opportunities) because 1) he was under contract, and 2) it also a lateral move not a promotion to a DC position. He's a very good coach and if the Bears had let him walk than 90% of you would have been bitching about that so don't come around now with this song and dance about not being allowed to leave.

I'm not directing this only at you seqq. It's more global than that.

Some of you guys need to start reading more and learning the actual facts about stuff like this instead of simply assuming an article you've read is 100% accurate. Our discussions and debates would probably bear more fruit and be less contentious if you did. The ONLY time Hurtt asked out was last year and he was still under contract so it was denied.

You tell people they need to read more and learn about the facts but you are the one posting the article with the false information in these forums....

He's going to coach for Todd Bowles isn't he? And hasn't Bowles been mentioned as one of the HC prospects Pace preferred to Fox? Why are you guessing here when just a little bit of knowledge or research would give you the correct answer to your "perhaps"?

I might also add that "putting together" ain't the same as "keeping together".

My guess is that a few see more handwriting on the wall than you or others care to see. I don't hate John Fox either. I simply feel he's not the right HC for the Bears period. That's it and no more. We had ample opportunity to hire younger HCs on either side of the ball including Gase over Fox but once again I feel that the decisions made by Phillips and GMC impacted that and continue to negatively impact the team.

So it's not Fox the man I dislike it's just Fox the coach of the Bears.

Ummm...no, I've never seen it anywhere that Pace preferred Bowles to Fox. I know many HERE preferred Bowles to Fox, but I've never seen that Pace did. As for handwriting on the wall....over here in NY/NJ it's written in big bold graffiti up and down the west side highway and the turnpike. Bowles locker room resembles ours under Trestman and the teams performance hasn't been much better. Someone needs to explain to me how a "younger" coach equates to a better coach...because clearly thats just not true.

Don't try to confuse the issue with facts, sound reasoning or evidence. We prefer to put on our tin-foil hats and cook up conspiracy theories :-)
