MUD will be here shortly to chastise you for talking bad about Pat Fitzgerald.

Well, I don't think I want Rex Ryan, either, but I most certainly don't want another Dick Jaulovie. Why is it that the coach needs to be some sort of gentleman-scholar, but the general manager is allowed to be a spoonerizing meathead? I still think of Phil Emery thinking the expression "to the nth degree" meant "to the ninth degree" and smile. It's like Jerry never left.

What would I want? A young dynamic guy, offensive mind, NFL experience (player or coach)...a "Jim Harbaugh" type.

Sean Payton is exactly the guy whom the Bears should be going after. The Bears should talk to Payton immediately. As a local guy, he would jump at the chance to coach the Bears & he would be a huge upgrade.

No. He's an offensive coach. He's gonna want Brees and that offense over Cutler and the Bears offense. Dallas is the only other team he'd probably consider, but it's highly likely he will go back to NO.

Steve "Mongo" McMichael has led the Chicago Slaughter to the playoffs in each of his six seasons as head coach of that offensive juggernaut. Need I say more?

I said this on my Facebook page last night. Anyone who thinks the Bears will hire a Super Bowl-winning HC such as Jon Gruden, Bill Cowher, Tony Dungy or Brian Billick are kidding themselves. All of those guys will cost the Bears a lot of $$$$ and will likely seek a huge say in personnel. Neither of which the Bears are willing to give.

The last 3 Bears' head coaches since Mike Ditka's firing in 1992 were defensive coordinators before coming Chicago's way. Dave Wannstedt, Dick Jauron & now Lovie Smith were each defensive coordinators elsewhere in the NFL before landing their first head coaching jobs with the Bears. That being said, I fully expect the Bears to hire another assistant who will be coaching in the upcoming NFL Playoffs, but hopefully he'll have more of an offensive mind than the last 3 guys who became the Bears' head coach.

What remains to be seen in my opinion is how much of a say GM Phil Emery REALLY will have in who becomes the next head coach of the Bears. Is he in control or is new Bears' Chairman George McCaskey influental enough to overrule his GM in regards to who gets this job should it open? That's the real question.

How's he going to coach the Bears AND be mayor of Bolingbrook at the same time?

He'd be a character along the same lines of "Da Coach"...

Agreed on the Phil Emery point. I think the pressure will be overwhelming to can Lovie after the season ends. The team has clearly regressed this year and I can't imagine Emery taking the job without the power to hire and fire Lovie Smith without interference.

Most biting of Lovie's regime has been the terrible offense year after year. There is always an excuse. Like Doug Buffone said today,you can see a pattern after 8 years of terrible offensive production. I would prefer a coach who has done this before. Let someone else get the next big thing. The Bears have tried that with the last 3 hires,time to try something else.

Haley for no other reason than the Bears people know him and he is really an offensive minded coach.

The only thing that is going to happen is that Tice will be fired and Bates will be the OC.

Yes he did. I follow KC pretty closely and I am telling you right now we want nothing to do with Haley. Dude is a crazy meathead. He will make Tice look like a scholar. He is pretty good as an OC, but he is not a head coach.

I think all things considered I would be happy with them giving Toub a shot.
