Thread: Your three finalists for Chicago Bears Head Coach are...

Despite being considered a franchise QB, any good coach will look at the number of coordinators he's had and his production.

The new head coach will certainly want to have some say on personnel, even though Emery will have the final say. No coach wants to feel helpless when it comes to the players he's given.


A lot of talk about Dallas letting Romo walk next year if they don't see some winning and better play, I could definately see the same for Cutler. Tons of talent, tons of potential, pretty much the same qb; w/1 fatal flaw, they are gunslingers, and you don't see to many teams winning SB's w/gunslingers right now. In an NFL were it's easy to score you cannot afford to have the O turning the ball over, which also is preventing them from scoring themselves.

I'd like to see them bring along a young QB, even if they like Cutler as the long term solution. That's just good business. Of course, that's assuming the new coaching staff can develop talent in-house. Something the Bears were abysmal at, under Lovie Smith's regime.

Regarding Cutler, if they think they don't like Cutler, then I'd suggest they make dead-certain they have a better QB locked up, before they move on from Cutler. I've seen too many Quinn-the-Eskimo and Chad Hutchinson types here. I could just see the Bears bumble this and end up worse than where we already are. I'm fine if they want to upgrade - but just make dead certain it IS an upgrade and not another piece of crap like we've had in the past.

No more Eskimo's please.
