    Assistant coach of the year?

    Assistant Coach of the Year

    Mike Tice, offensive line coach, Chicago
    I don't know anyone in the NFL who has earned their money this season more than Tice, the former Vikings head coach who jumped from Jacksonville to Chicago last offseason in order to take on one of the most challenging projects in the league: rebuilding a Bears offensive line that was in tatters. My choice of Tice comes with the acknowledgement that he has not been a miracle worker in Chicago. The Bears offensive line started the season horribly, and quarterback Jay Cutler was running for his life on a weekly basis.
    But like any good coach, Tice made necessary adjustments, kept coaching his guys on how to get better, and finally cobbled together a pretty decent unit that has shown improvement as this surprising 11-4 division-winning season in Chicago has unfolded. The raw statistics aren't flattering: the Bears offensive line has allowed a league-worst 50 sacks and its 85 QB hits ranks among the most in the NFL. But I see the essence of good coaching in Tice's performance this season. He took chicken-you-know what, and ended up making chicken salad.
    Kudos to: Brian Ferentz, offensive assistant, New England. (A quick footnote: New England doesn't have anyone on staff with the title of tight ends coach, but Ferentz, the son of University of Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz, works mostly with the segment of New England's offense that has produced standout rookie seasons from both Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez.)

    Gotta be Tice. After the bye, our OL has looked good. Not great, definite room for improvement, but it has improved.

    OMG, where do these stories come from. Assistant coach of the year for giving up the most sacks and qb hits in the NFL. If I would give any coach any recognition on the bears it would be Mike Martz. We would be no where close to the record we have it Ron Turner were still here.

    The OL returned to it's bad form today, we've seen this in 5 or 6 games this year. Although on some of those I thought Cutler had enough time, but must not have had any one open. Sometimes you have to chuck it out of bounds if nothing is there.

    Most of the sacks were on Cutler...held the ball WAAAAYYYY too long.

    But, with that being said, i give credit to Tice for IMPROVING the OL, he had garbage to work with, and managed to turn it into a "less then mediocre" OL, but it is still sorely lacking, ESPECIALLY in the run blocking department.
