This has gone beyond sad and even beyond comical.  Now I’m just getting angry about this.  What kind of an organization fires half their coaching staff without some sort of a plan?  You can’t help but think that no one bothered to think this thing through.  And that goes all the way up to Ted Phillips.  He’s the president of this organization.  Blame the McCaskey’s all you want, but it’s up to the president of the team, to act, um, I don’t know… Presidential once in a while and tell ownership when they’re making a big mistake.

If the old lady still wanted to use leather helmets, it’s up to someone at Halas Hall to tell her that it’s probably not a good idea.  Same thing with this whole not firing Lovie.  It was a bad idea from get-go, but no one had the balls to make the right decision.

Nearly three weeks have gone by since the circus came to Halas Hall and all the Bears have to show for it are a couple of failed interviews and Mike freaking Tice.   2010 looks like it’s going to be a bust and 2011 appears headed for a lockout.  Wake me up in 2012.

Chargers' tight ends/assistant head coach Rob Chudzinski is the latest name to surface as a Bears offensive coordinator candidate.

Rob Chudzinski – Come on down!!!  You’re the next contestant on The Great Coordinator Search 2010!

As quickly as I can fire off the latest Bears coordinator candidate names, the quicker the candidates wind up elsewhere.   Chan Gailey: Bears offensive coordinator candidate one day, Buffalo Bills head coach tomorrow.  Mike Nolan: Bears’ defensive coordinator candidate today, Miami Dolphins DC… later that day.  That’s just the way this coordinator search will go with Lame Duck Lovie at the helm.

“Chud,” as he’s called, is the Chargers assistant head coach/tight ends coach.  He served as OC for the Cleveland Browns for a couple of seasons before his most recent post in San Diego.  In fact, in 2007 he guided Cleveland’s offense to finish the season as the 8th ranked offense.  Yes, those Cleveland Browns.  He also served as tight ends coach and later OC for University of Miami, where he was part of a couple of National Championship teams in the late 80′s.

On the surface, it seems like a decent fit.  He’s worked with a bratty QB – Phillip Rivers – and a marquee tight end in Antonio Gates.  We’ve got one of those and a wannabe/supposed to be.  I’ll let you figure which is which.   (more…)
