Bears coaching casualties


Epistaxis

Recommended Posts

Ron Turner out as OC, per Sun Times, as expected.

Also TE coach and QB coach Pep Hamilton, as expected.

Early rumors that Marinelli was going to get DC gig, but that doesn't appear to be the case (conflicting reports).

Also early rumors that they were going to hire naked drive-thru DUI Detroit guy to be new DLine coach if Marinelli moved up the food chain, but since Marinelli is now NOT supposed to move up to DC, that remains unlikely.

Press conference for 2:00 PM Central and this will get cleared up.

You know what is worse than 7-9 and underachieving?

Trying to make your coaching staff look more like the Loins from the early to mid 2000s.

Crap.

Whatever, until they clean house from top to bottom this is just rearranging the deck furniture on the Titanic.

Martz as head coach? Definite no. OC/QB Coach? Definitely.

PFT says they're going after Cutler's old QB coach, Jeremy Bates, instead.

Wasn't Martz the OC in Detroit with three first round Wr's in his great passing philosophy, how'd that work out? I think he failed in San Fran too. No on Martz....no fuging way.

Martz's system will get Cutler killed with our current Oline and WR corps.

I wanted Holmgren and if not him then Cowher and his cadre, but it looks like the dude from USC will get the nod.

meh

Again.....deck furniture, Titanic.

Waitin' till next next year since I expect more of the same crapulence next year.

I'm not a really big fan of Martz' scheme in Chicago. I don't think we need a completely new scheme in Chicago, either. I think with the experience our guys have gotten in the Ron Turner version of the WC Offense, we just need a little bit more creativity put into the play-calling.

On the other side of the ball on the other hand... I think the Cover 2 is caput. I can also see Fewell coming back and running the D, which would mean more of the same Cover 2 getting blown on 3rd and 7

With Carroll supposedly in SEA, scratch Bates off the OC list.

But, Bates could complete a 1st rounder merry-go-round by giving up theirs for Cutler. Chicago would have Seattle's, Seattle still would have Denver's (Alphonso Smith trade last year), and Denver would have Chicago's.

    • I don't think working from memory is going to be very productive or useful. You would need to compare them all, which is far easier to do from the breakdowns of each game. That has tiered charts that give real data.  But, even then that wouldn't substitute for a trained eye(s) doing detailed film analysis to attempt to determine if we are modifying the offense dramatically for Bryce.
    • I think front office and general team culture under new ownership is sort of on the right track. The rookies all look incredible compared to where you'd expect each one of them to be right now. Lee's in game coaching is awful, he might be ok as a culture and developmental guy but that can't outweigh the in-game miscues and bad game plans. If LaMelo can't figure out the ankles then I think you gotta trade him for a haul, can't keep having your seasons lost every year because he can't stay on the court. And I say that as a big fan of him. Miller I think is unlucky, he looks likely to be an elite core player for us, but if he can't put together a stretch of healthy seasons he would trend towards LaMelo and need to be moved. I used to like Miles on the court a lot more but nowadays he's just an empty stat guy who needs to go. The short lived hot start to the season was fun but unless LaMelo and Miller both get and stay healthy within the next few weeks I can't even see us being a play-in team this year. And even if they do get healthy, we're probably looking at play-in at best, maybe barely compete for that fringe 6th seed.
