Should the Bears Completely Restaff?

After the Bears worst loss of the season and the only game that they were never in, it comes as no suprise that many fans and journalists are calling for the heads of various combinations of the Bears coaching staff.

So the question is simple who should the Bears get rid of and why?

Argh

“None of the Above” is not an option?!?

A little less sports-talk radio attitude, a little more perspective.

Youre right

the post was about firing coach, I just didn’t have it on my mind.

more perspective?

i think wcg didnt make that an option because no one watching the games week in and week out would feel like a coaching staff change is not in need.

I like lovie as a head coach and ron turner as an oc but Babich has to either go or be demoted. hes not only had time learning the system for years under lovie as linebackers coach, but he has had 26 games to get this right.

chicago represents defense, always has, always will. for how much this franchise values the players on defense and being that our head coach is a defensive minded coach, this unit should be a top 3 defense year in and year out…no excuses.

there isnt one sport on this earth where the leader can take a unit from the top to the bottom in the span of a year and a half and still be employeed.

Defense

Babich has to go, it may be the players, but the coach is the figure head and if the D is failing then something has to be done.

Would these guys really quit on Lovie? I hope not.

only 94% of the voters wanted babich gone?

who the fuck…

His stats are as good as Fields -- that's the sad thing

Babich only

There’s a reason why the Bears offense hasn’t been consistent during Turner’s tenure; virtually no playmakers on the field. Hester is just OK, Olsen is in his second year, and Forte in his first. Draft a WR early in the draft and give Turner another year to completely turn it around. Orton is certainly a good start. As far as Lovie, he needs to bring in an offensive consultant to review Turner’s scheme and existing personnel.

Agreed

I really don’t mind Turner. I have no problem giving him one more year and proving he really deserves to stay.

Babich, on the other hand, should get punted out of Halas Hall.

Turner has done pretty damn well this season

I wanted him gone before the year but I think he has kept his job. Babich needs to go. I liked him at first, but since he came here at the beginning of last year, the defense has been dismal and nowhere close to its 06 dominance..

To see your idol player whom you have grown up watching be cast aside by his loyal organization can make even a grown man choke up...We'll miss you #34!

How about a hostile takeover?

Buy ’em from the McCaskeys and let Chicago own them, Green Bay style. Then they could hire decent managers who arent stubbornly clinging to “We-Never-Did-It-Like-That-Before” attitudes.

May the wind be always at your back, and may your placekicker have icewater in his veins.

Huh?

Yeah, so the Chicagoans could choose managers as well as they’ve chosen political leaders?

Friendly reminder to both of you

that this isn’t a political blog. If you wanna talk politics, go somewhere else.

ha

decades of corruption aren’t changed by one media darling senator, but you’ll be seeing what he’s talking about soon enough in washington.

but you gotta start somewhere, eh? might as well give the guy a chance.
