Bears are allowing other teams to interview Toub

How many times over the past few years have you read the Bears have sighed someone just to find out he is a ST teams guy when we really needed help other places.

I find all this "well, a new HC is going to want to bring in his guy(s) anyway" stuff to be maddeningly stupid. I can see the rationale if you're installing a new offense or making major schematic changes on defense, but why the heck--besides ego--would you want to can one of the NFL's most widely regarded ST coordinators??? Really dumb if that's what ends up happening.

Bingo.

"Never underestimate the ability of the Bears (or Cubs for that matter) to snatch stunning defeat from the jaws of certain victory."
