2009-10 Bears Season: Utler, 'Uther 'Uckers

[BH]

What excitement! This is Bear football!

"Bears DL coach Rod Marinelli says he is open to becoming the team's defensive coordinator if they can't find anyone else.
Chicago's defensive coordinator search took an abrupt halt after the team lost out on Perry Fewell to the Giants. "Whatever Lovie needs, I'll do," Marinelli said. "If the field needs to be mowed, I'll bring my hand-mower out."

Is it wrong that I'm starting to enjoy this?  Anybody can put together a playoff team or Super Bowl contender, but this sort of organizational disfunction is usually only found in franchises where madmen have been in power for years.  The Bears are way ahead of schedule.

What else are you supposed to enjoy? A bunch of "lifelong" Colts fans who only discovered pro football over the past decade seeing their "beloved" franchise win its second Super Bowl? A talent-filled draft benefiting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Denver Broncos? An offseason of "Will Brett play or not next year" drama?

You're trying to bring me down, TJ, but it won't work.  I'm going to laugh hysterically when the Bears announce that Mike Tice and Rod Marinelli are the OC and DC for 2010. 

I'm gonna laugh even harder when Lovie and Jerry take the podium and announce that after an exhausted search, they picked the 2 best guys for the job to turn this team around.

Nobody wants to take over the defensive coordinator job because they'd have to deal with Jay Cutler and his moody, coach-killing ways.

You thinking Cutler would play corner or linebacker next year?

How can a search get tired?

Don't question how hard they are looking for the right fit.

That would be even more foolish than questioning the almighty wisdom of JP Morgan Chase.

And the Bears inch ever closer to the inevitable start of the Mike Martz era.

I know SKO hates him, but it seems as if Martz might actually be the best option at this point.  At least he's been in charge of NFL offenses before, as opposed to any of the random retread QB coaches they're interviewing from other teams.

Given the choice between Martz, some random QB coach, or naming Mike Tice the OC, I have to go with Martz.
