This is a 4 win team max IMO and as painful as it is, I think It is proactive to have the Bears bottom out rather than hover in mediocrity. 2-3 years of this trash football and we may be back into contender range with a couple smart draft picks... I'm already wishing on Ed Oliver.
Except that 2-3 of trash football means a new GM and new coaches at the end.
The idea of bringing in Accorsi seemed like a good idea to me. It sure beat the past ways they handled this kind of thing. When we had Pace as the new GM, and Fox, Gase & Fangio as our new coaches, I was a mighty happy camper. I don't think anyone expected things to end up like this. I sure didn't.
I didn't like the Gase hire at the time because it was already rumored that he would be a one year and gone OC. I didn't understand why Pace/Fox would want to hire one OC only to have to switch to another in a years time.
I think their idea was to have Gase basically train up Loggains to be the OC. I think I read that somewhere. Yeah, the problem with getting a great OC is that it will always be hard to keep them.
