Jeremy Bates Might Be Gone – Bear Dawn (1/9)

facebooktwitterreddit

I hate giving up on my guy.

Apparently, Jeremy Bates might not be such a lock to come to Chicago. A few other journalists penned pieces just reporting the information, but Jeff Dickerson from ESPN gives the best and most thorough account (link here).

At the same time, Pete Carroll’s name is always thrown out there for NFL jobs at the end of the year. Jumping off the USC ship might make sense this year, especially considering both the football (Reggie Bush/Joe McKnight) and basketball (O.J. Mayo) are either under investigation or have just recently completed investigations on those programs.

Enjoy your Saturday and make sure to keep it here for some analysis of the games!
