Ask this fool why he didn't interview Harbaugh???

[@DoctorAbortion]

He is white

[@artsoto5459]

Because he was bumping heads with Harbaugh in the SEC, what is interesting is that Harbaugh was willing to let it go, but Warren could not let it go!

No one tries harder to sell losing than the Chicago Bears.

[@eazylife83]

Nobody is selling losing . If that's the case, then the top 9 teams in the draft are selling losing also, but none of them jobs are the bears no matter how you look at it no matter how much they lose because if you win here your legendary can't really say that for the other low market teams....if the cubs can win a world series then we can win a superbowl....

“Best fans” is so damn patronizing. If we were the best fans we’d have something to cheer about

[@foolmenow00]

Actually, many times we DID have something to cheer about, but our HC and OC failed us. Injuries, rookie mistakes, not being good enough, etc. can be somewhat EXCUSABLE but lack of common sense not to call time outs OR game play-call to your strengths is INEXCUSABLE!

[@trevorcolletti3693]

@ fair enough, my original comment might be more for McCaskey and his abysmal leadership since 2011. Ironic because all we’ve been hearing is finding leadership in the form of a coach. Had one that went 10-6 and fired him. Miss you Lovie.

[@adamcook2790]

Best fans because we are always coming back expecting things to be better and not demanding better performance.

[@billyg3230]

best fans include cheering even during losing seasons

[@themilwaukeebrewerswillnev7545]

We started 7-1 that year and missed the playoffs…Lovie made the playoffs 3 times in a decade. That’s how you know this team is a joke. We have an overwhelming amount of fans clamoring for making the playoffs 30% of the time. It’s sad

[@rodbrewster4629]

Not a single question about why Harbaugh wasn't hired. If it came down to a personality dispute that person is not working in the best interest of the Bears.

[@marcelotammaro4947]

I been in enough executive meetings to know when a guy is full of shit and tries to control and spin the narrative. He's more concerned about perception than producing results. Wanting to have a winning team and knowing how to create a winning team are two different things

[@foolmenow00]

HCs, OCs and maybe less on GMs have been MAIN reason why we've failed for 12 years since Uncle Lovie left. We need time to work out past 12 years! Also, untimely injuries, poor player execution - lack of discipline, not good enough, only here for the money, etc. Basically, a culture change IS needed and is now happening!

[@mikelasjo6507]

Every NFL team president WANTS a winning team. Few actually have a winning team....

[@foolmenow00]

@@mikelasjo6507 Yeah most would agree. I just don't get why many would think MOST teams should 'hit instead of misses' (on coaches /players) as McCaskey cited. Odds are against MOST teams being successful ANY guven year. Hence, as you said, they want to win but can't. This is what makes life, let alone sports, a challenge, Caprice!?

Of course she did. She is a sellout, been saying it for a minute now. That's how you get those 'prestigious' jobs. Jurko is about the only one who keeps it real and stayed true to himself. Thats why I still respect him.

[@carlitosway9mm]

@Crockadillion42o 💯 I think he's over the whole experience and will lose him to retirement soon. Those boys owe that Man for how he unionized them and protected their jobs, for decades. Absolutely the realest. Used to love Tommy too, but he got infected these last few years and has changed. 😢

Why do we always say sell the team ... That family has been around since the beginning do we really think they gonna sell.

[@thangyselfmade7028]

[@Keithjhall]

Because since Virginia took this team over in the 80s, it’s been a shit show! Papa bear Halas wanted to turn this over to his younger brother, but he unexpectedly passed away. As a result, his sister took ownership and it’s been nothing short of a shit show. Virginia needs to sell the team and her sons need to get the hell out of operations. They have always been the problem.

[@mikelasjo6507]

[@ericf1966]

Thank them for being the problem? I'll bet my house that the McCaskey's were the driving force behind hiring Eberflus 3 years ago, retaining him after last season, and not firing him after the Washington game. I'll bet they're the reason Eberflus was allowed to do the press conference the Friday after Thanksgiving before Poles convinced them he had to go after the players chased him out of the locker room.

Answer this question: why hasn’t Ryan been extended yet?!? Head Coach wants stability, end of story. George and the McASSkeys continue to show how inept they are at running this organization.

They aren’t going to extend him until they see how many coaches want there own GM or want him extended so they are in lock step,they will probably hire a coach that is onboard extending him,but they should hire the coach that wants his own GM because that means he has a plan which tells me he’s about winning not a paycheck and promotion 😉

@bizzyb2622 Coach Thomas was a breathe of fresh air in that building, world class is a bit much but did we really expect a change in how the team moved? After yrs of eberflus bad coaching, lack of accountability and players basically packing it in? Not in five games sorry no one is doing that.

[@bizzyb2622]

@Generaluza1 breath of fresh air?? Sure he was. I expected the team to play harder for him than what they did. But I’ve seen enough of him to know I don’t want the Bears to hire him as a Coach. They sucked on offense and gave up way more points on defense with him as the Coach.

[@Generaluza1]

@@bizzyb2622 unfortunately he was over his head and the situation he was placed in did him no favors. Ironically or maybe not he still has more head coaching experience then the overly heralded Johnson. So really it's the same situation Johnson will be walking into.
