Go for Vrabel. All he can say is no.
I would be all for Vrabel but similar to the Harbaugh situation... they (Warren/Poles) won't give a coach personnel power like Vrabel had at the end of his tenure in Tennessee.

This assumes that Poles will still be the GM after the season.

Probably true.

One thing is for sure, Ohio State fans are dreaming if they think they can get Vrabel. That dude is too much of a throwback to ever coach college ball in this particular climate. His Titan players loved him. Dude played at a high level himself and was a no nonsense guy. I just don't see him bending the knee to high school kids while recruiting.

F Harbaugh. F Michigan.

Ditka should have just beat his pansy ass when he was the back-up QB in '87

I always come back to this anytime announcers used to say dumb shit like “Harbaugh is as tough as a two dollar steak.”

Ditka had him in tears on the sidelines more than once.

Williams stood up earlier this week in a team meeting and accepted responsibility for his role in Shane Waldron getting fired. I thought he looked very good yesterday and if he's showing this type of character off the field that's only going to lead to respect in the locker room.

Offense looked better but it was yet again another loss to Green Bay. It's tough to see Eberflus surviving this and it's going to be one hell of an NFL coaching carousel with Belichick and Vrabel reportedly wanting to get back into the game.

Promising season really went off the rails in D.C. with that Hail Mary.

and add this below to the reasons why, inept coaching is killing us. It was nice to see the interim OC have a smart gameplan to play to Williams strenghts as well. Build his confidence back. It also sucks watching a coach like Harbaugh, who we didn't even talk to, not settle for a field goal with 35 seconds left, but went for the jugular. Especially after santos first kick was a line drive.

This is why I wanted to keep Fields and use the #1 as collateral to build the Oline. For how great Williams may or may not become, no one can't shine with this shitty of a line.
I think the Justin Fields ship set sail and they were right about him. Mike T couldn't wait for Russ to get back and they're 4-0 with him as starter with the Steelers.

As far as the OL goes, OT and IOL are two of their biggest needs without a doubt. So is EDGE and DL. With what they have invested in this offense, however, that OL needs to be addressed via free agency and the draft.

I also find the lack of TE targets for Kmet to be alarming.

What in the actual fuck was that?

Flus should walk his ass through 8mile and then home.

Got Bears +13.5 as a live bet, so that helps to swallow the pill just a little bit

First half was brutal but the second was better, will give them that.

The fuck was Caleb doing on that last play? Snap the damn ball.

I’m not a fan nor a hater of the team but good lord that OLine is brutal. The last sack had a guy coming untouched right from the snap. They could have Lombardi coaching this team and they’d lose just because of that line.

At this point I want them to keep Eberflus until the end of the season.

If not, they will promote the OC, and he will be retained as HC for next season after we find out he called Virginia McCaskey "ma'am" once when they shared at elevator.

The coaching search is always the same:

Are you nice?
Are you a spineless pussy?

If “yes” is the answer to both, you have a legitimate chance of being hired.

The Bears are the bears... but the Lions sure as hell dont look like one of the best teams in the league.

Who knows, Bears have had a running theme lately of almost beating their division opponents, all of which look to be in position to make the playoffs.

The Lions have been moving the ball at will against everybody.

Do they get to roll the timeout they didn’t take to the next game?

The dumb ass doubled down and said he agreed with how the end of the game was managed. What a jack off.
