Yes the Bears organization is messed up because they allow how they feel about people(Ted and Lovie) to get involved in making moves at those positions. But it shouldn’t be some accountant from Lake Forest deciding who the next GM should be – it should be George McCaskey. And that GM better be able to do one thing really, really well – evaluate talent!

When Martz was the hire of last resort, I wondered here on this site how we could be told that Lovie wanted to get off the bus running by adding Martz. Lovies decisions are those of desperation because no one wants his coordination offers. They know he’s on borrowed time.

That’s what makes the GM hire so scary. Why is Lovie dictating anything? And we’re going to draft players to fit the Retreat 2 scheme that I loathe? Screw that. Keeping Lovie is a huge risk and we need this draft class to really step up. No more damaged products. The line still needs desperate help. Skill players needed. The defense is so thin and our studs are well into their 30′s with no heir apparents on the roster. Depleted is the best word for our situation.

Tell you what SQLpope, fire Lovie and ascend TIce to head coach, then let him choose his staff. Then you’d have interest from good coaches to join this team.

I also see the relatively dumbed down offensive approach positively. Run, high pctg passing, couple of shots & strong defense (hopefully). That can win 70% of your games (see Pittsburgh, or a number of Bears teams). Throw in a quarterback that is CAPABLE of putting up points and you have a 50/50 shot at the other 30%. I could definitely seeing us, at least the next few years, playing the longstanding Baltimore role… Green Bay in the top slot with the Bears continual wildcards, with any luck flipping the role like Baltimore pulled off this year.

Ever the optimist.
