The Ryan Pace Era... BEGINS!!!

[SKO]

And if memory serves, not one of those guys won a superbowl with team #3.

Which proves it's impossible.

Look, you assholes got six years of the optimistic fuckhead who thought Kyle Orton was a starting QB and Jay Cutler was the savior and Angelo wasn't as bad as people thought and Emery and Trestman were forward thinking innovators. That fuckhead is dead. Pessimistic Kyle is back and you're all going to look back at those years fondly. You're going to miss the guy who spent 2,000 words telling you why Jay's bad haircut was good for the offense's prospects. This organization is fucked. Abandon hope all ye who enter.

I'm arguing (?) with a meme now, but in the interest of relative seriousness, I don't really know who the preferred hire is supposed to be. Fox has a generally good resume and I think the only reason people want an up-and-coming coordinator is because they haven't had a chance to see that person be a crappy head coach yet.

I understand that it's kind of unexciting, but I think it's probably the best hire they could make.

This. They missed the boat. The guy was there, he wanted the job, they had the personnel to fit his offense to a T, and they hired CFL guy. That decision's going to hang over them like a black fucking cloud forever, and it probably should. I'm not gonna talk myself into liking their attempts to plug the dam. I'm just gonna sit here and be an asshole, and it seems like it's worked out pretty well for Fro. He's been right more than I have.

That's exactly what I'm upset about. It's not even their fault. They're stuck in a situation where the best available coach is a B+. And they've got a B- quarterback they're stuck with. They're still going to be in a division with the greatest QB God's ever put on earth for the next few years and their best option to counter that is a bunch of "eh, could do worse" options. They're screwed, and I'm just embracing nihilism as the only way to function.

Ever?

I'm just glad they didn't hire Arians.

Basically. Arians is a Mike Martz that the world has yet to turn on.

See, this is why I have embraced the fatalism of the fact that everything I know or think I believe in is wrong. I am a bad person. This season was my penance. Hair shirts are really itchy, though.

Actually I was wrong. There is one coach currently who has won a superbowl on his 3rd head coaching gig. Pete Carroll. so, yay.

otherwise:

2013- Seahawks, Carroll- 3rd HC gig
2012- Ravens-Harbaugh- 1st
2011- Giants- Coughlin- 2nd
2010- Packers- McCarthy- 1st
2009- Saints- Payton- 1st
2008- Steelers-Tomlin-1st
2007-Giants-Coughlin- 2nd
2006-Colts-Dungy-2nd
2005-Steelers-Cowher-1st
2004-Patriots-Belichick-2nd
2003-Patriots-Belichick-2nd
2002-Bucs-Gruden-2nd
2001-Patriots-Belichick-2nd
2000-Ravens-Billick-1st
1999-Rams-Vermeil-2nd
1998-Broncos-Shanahan-2nd


So I'd say we're just mostly fucked that this is Fox's 3rd gig, and not his 2nd, which appears to be the sweet spot.

That's exactly what I'm upset about. It's not even their fault. They're stuck in a situation where the best available coach is a B+. And they've got a B- quarterback they're stuck with. They're still going to be in a division with the greatest QB God's ever put on earth for the next few years and their best option to counter that is a bunch of "eh, could do worse" options. They're screwed, and I'm just embracing nihilism as the only way to function.

This thread is pretty amazing. I'm on the Bears HateWagon myself. I'm not going to get excited about anything Bears-related ever again. Fuck every Bears player or coach past and present except for Charles Tillman and Walter Payton.
