Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

If I was Mike McCaskey for a day

Here's what I would do

This is not supposed to be serious
some of it though may seem reasonable.

Star-divide

-I would Fire Ron Turner

-Hire Mike Shannahan(pay him till he comes)

-Give a huge raise to Dave Toub

-Get one of those other Big coaches like Holmgrem or Billick if possible

-Get Matt Jones since he is better than our DA and 3 4.3 40 recievers would be just scary

-Fix the field

 

But most of all: Sell the team to some one else at the end of the day so the next day Mr.McCaskey would no longer be the owner.

Michael McCaskey is the Chairman of the Board

Ted Phillips is the team president and Virginia McCaskey owns 80% of the Bears that she divides up between her children with 19.7% belonging to Aon Corporation. Mr. McCaskey is not the owner of the Bears and inevitably it would be Virginia’s call. Get back on your wheel, Hamsta but no food pellets for you. You must earn them.

I'd resign....

I think you meant (3) 4.3 40 recievers...

Jones would be a nice pick-up. But right now, I’m not at all discouraged by the play of our receivers. All 3 of them are developing nicely and they’re all making plays.

Ron Turner definitely needs to go. I wonder if Shanahan would be interested in working for the McCaskeys? His first task would be re-building the line.

Time to BEAR down!

i would immediately apologize for everything wrong i've done to the bears and to chicago

then i would commit a public act of Hara-kiri by impaling myself on samurai sword (reference to singletary, intended) at the 50 yard line of soldier’s filed.

i would charge admission, though. But all proceeds would to towards animal rescue and would be tax deductible to purchase.

I was told that I ruined this house with my anger

and if I were Virginia McCaskey

I’d go spit on Ed McCaskey’s grave for not wearing a condom.

Michael Vick

Has no place on WCG. Unless we’re playing the Eagles.

People need to shut up about Matt Jones

Nobody wants the cokehead receiver for a reason. If he was all that good, he would have been signed over people like Tyree or Figurs.

If I was McCaskey, I’d hire a firey coach rather than passive aggressive coaches like Lovie Smith or Dick Jauron. Nothing has irritated me more than seeing coaches that act like they don’t care. Not only that, I feel like part of the Bears’ problems involves the fact that they have no discipline (Atlanta game is a perfect highlight of that). Tony Dungy pulls it off because he’s a great coach, but Lovie and Jauron are hardly in his league. If this was Dungy’s locker room, I genuinely believe he would have made a passionate halftime speech about discipline in a way that Lovie could never convey.

Hire Shanahan, Cowher, Billick, Gruden, Dungy (if he changes his mind about staying at NBC). I don’t care, as long as the guy will inject some passion and discipline into the team. The lack thereof is like shooting ourselves in the foot.

Dungy is Lovie minus 50 lbs.

if it wasn’t for being lucky enough to have Polian draft Peyton Manning, he would have never won a Super Bowl.

Yeah i was gonna comment

on the ridiculousness of this post, but decided against, Dungy = Bag of Douche

He pretty much built that Tampa team

That won the Super Bowl. Then he comes and helps build a decent team in Indianapolis. Regardless of how good Peyton Manning is, the team didn’t go far until Dungy’s defense became a factor. Once the defense started getting their act together, that’s when Indy won their Super Bowl. It’s hard to negate Dungy’s influence on two Super Bowl-winning teams or the fact that so many former members of his staff now hold head coaching jobs.

My point essentially was that Lovie tries to replicate Tony Dungy because of their success in Tampa, but Dungy is more than just a stoic figure. Players have said that he rides their asses when need be, rather than acting like he doesn’t care half the time.

Lovie turned us around

in 1 full season, and we could have gone and won the SB two years in a row… so i dont know what you are talking about, Our Defense is aging and injury ridden

But he couldn't win a Super Bowl in Tampa and the first year Gruden came in they won it all

with the same players. I wouldn’t take Dungy even if he came with a new corp of HoneyBears.

by BearFan611 on Oct 19, 2009 10:58 PM CDT up reply actions  

If we took Dungy

after the crap he said about Cutler, and beating us in a Superbowl, i’d really consider not watching that season… i hate Dungy about as much as i hate Favre

Billick?

Yea, because he did a great job with that offense when he was in Baltimore.

If I were Mike McCasket...

I’d sign Matt Jones to a lifetime contract !!!!!

Or better still….

I’d hire Mike Shanahan so he continue his streak of being insanely overrated in a brand new city !!!!!

True about Shanahan

Ron Turner has really disappointed me with his retarded play calling and lack of variety and originality these past few seasons. Shanahan can win and knows Cutler very well as a player and can help build the rest of the offense around him.

Clean House,

Get rid of everyone that’s not a player. Give Ditka Angelo’s job and see what happens.

by Big Ike on Oct 21, 2009 7:51 PM CDT reply actions  

Why

when we’ve traded all our draft picks already?

Ditka for GM ... I like it !!

I like it a lot …… it gets better sounding by the second. A marriage made in heavenly hell.

by Irish Bears Fan on Oct 22, 2009 1:50 AM CDT reply actions  

Ditka was nothing special as coach,

so why assume he would be a good GM? Oh wait, he is a former Bear player, of course he would be great.
