Ted Phillips Speaketh! Bear Dawn (1/8)

Ted Phillips talked with Mully and Hanley on 670 The Score this morning. If you missed the entire interview and wanted to listen to it, here’s the link. If you want to see what Phillips said about the vacant coordinator positions, here’s a link from the Chicago Tribune.

It’s incredibly clear that the Bears’ management team is on a public relations crusade. Whether it’s letters to the fans, taking out ads, spending WAY too much time at a meaningless presser, they’re trying their hardest to keep their fanbase from revolting. Knowing that management is trying so hard (maybe too hard) to soothe Bears fans, I think that Jeremy Bates is the clear front-runner for the OC job. Why?

How many former Rams or former connections won people jobs with the Bears underneath Lovie? And how many of them have been bad? Mike Martz is up for the OC position, even though he really hasn’t done that well. Most would not be real pleased (myself included) with Martz’s hiring.
