WSCR-AM 670 reports: The Bears have reached out to an intermediary for former Pittsburgh Steelers coach Bill Cowher to gauge whether he would have any interest in coming to Chicago should the team decide to fire Lovie Smith, according to Hub Arkush, publisher of Pro Football Weekly and an analyst for the radio station

The Bears have denied a previous report by Arkush that someone in the organization above general manager Jerry Angelo was making inquiries regarding possible changes in the team's leadership.

"The Bears deny this report but my sources, who are impeccable, insist that it's true: They have reached out to an intermediary for Bill Cowher to try to find out what it would take to get him, if he would be interested, what he would want in terms of staff, money, etc.," Arkush reported on the station Sunday.

Discuss. :ihih:

No way Cowher takes that job.

Why not?

And how classless by the Bears...if it's true.

Not a fan of it either, but in today's NFL and with as many teams as there will be pursuing the top talent at HC, it doesn't surprise me seeing teams trying to get pieces in place

This is what happens when a team plays like crap, they contact an intermediary for Cowher.

What's the big surprise?

Not so much a surprise as a low class move.

Yeah, they are having a bad year, but I think Smith deserves better than this.

You know the reporters are going to be all over him with questions.

I'm sure Cowher will likely be with us than the Bears. No way will he want to be further away from home with going to Chicago than Charlotte. And hearing the Bears might get rid of Lovie already soon kinda sound like an opposite way with Denver's situation with Cutler. Deja Vu! :P

Location mainly.

I really do think that he has his eyes set on the Panthers...though I am not really excited to say so.

    • I'd like to see the gameday chats come back, especially if you can get it mobile compatible and like those support chats that stay on the screen even when you move around the site. We could use them during CLTFC and Hornets games now too.
    • There's a lot of truth here, but at the same time, that one year of production we might be paying for is actually paying for a development arc. And a lot of players have those. QB is the most complicated position in sports, hands down.  I'm not saying Bryce will make it past the hump this year, the odds are stacked against him just like any QB in the league that isn't already considered an elite player (and there are only about 5-8 of those at most). Arcs happen, and slow arcs happen, too. Sam Darnold seemed a wash up for the Jets and a horrible mistake. He was better with us, but still couldn't carry a bad team on his shoulders (or bad coaching). He went to Minnesota and got a shot under better coaching with more mature eyes to see the field. Something sparked and then he took his team to the Super Bowl and brought home a ring. Baker Mayfield had a similar arc, and may yet hit the big game. Hell, locally, Jake Delhomme had one. Or Bryce could flutter back down having already hit his peak. It happens. More often than any of us want to admit. We've paid for a full development arc for Bryce, but we've had it on rookie deal rates and that's been a savings that has let us build out the rest of the team, which was really needed. Maybe we end up diving back into the QB pool in the first round next season. Might be the guy, might not.  But he'll be set up with a better team that Bryce was when he started. Or maybe, just maybe, Bryce adds another seven TDs and loses four INTs on the season. Grabs three more wins and maybe a playoff win, maybe two. It's not completely impossible and that'd be great for the team and for him.  We're just going to have to tune in and see how it plays out. Probably won't be boring. 
    • I am holding out hope for a miraculous run this season. But you know the narrative around him is peak delusional when the Panthers social team can post this without even a hint of irony. Four years and almost 50 games into his career he still looks like he's never set foot in the weight room. Really?
