Using Fox’s resume to pretend he’s anything other than one of the very worst coaches in the league is a pretty bad idea.

Maybe they should hire Joe Gibbs. Hell of a resume!

This is why as a GM you don't accept a job where you don't get to pick your coach. Now, you are in year 3, and you've been horrible at your job so far. You already got a coach fired. You have to go out and convince someone else "Hey, join up with me, and if we don't win in year 2 then I'm fired and you are working for a new GM or you are fired with me!". So now, coaches are going to choose any other place to coach and you are stuck with whatever coach has no other options and isn't willing to wait a year to see if someone else is interested.

If you were a betting man, the odds are incredibly high that Pace, if he keeps his job, is fired for poor performance in the next 2-3 years. His only real shot is if (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky saves him, and even that draft pick looks stupid because he unnecessarily gave up a ton of picks(you know, things that help rebuilding teams) to get him.

Even if you keep him, you aren't more likely to succeed. There is absolutely no reason to believe he has a higher chance of success than whoever else you would get to replace him. The best argument for him is "Well, maybe he's not bad and a coach with a much bigger resume may just be bad!" which is certainly true but also not exactly comforting to know that we are blaming the guy who has taken two other teams to the Super Bowl over the guy that built good running back depth in a passing league!

Intentionally not understanding the point I see.

You think Fox has shown at minimum, competency, during his Chicago tenure? Are you being serious?

It doesn't seem like it but keep in mind here we are forgiving Pace for the same terrible three year stretch. My opinion is that both are bad. I don't see why you put it all on Fox unless you are a Packers fan who wants the Bears to waste another 3 years.

What makes you think Pace isn't bad?

Basically I think Fox is so bad that it’s impossible to fairly evaluate the talent level until there’s an actual nfl coach coaching that talent. See the Rams and Jaguars last year and this year for other examples of this.

I'll give Fox credit for going to the SB with the Panthers. He didn't have a HOF QB and he almost won that game.

I don't give him credit for the Broncos SB loss. Peyton Manning was the coach of that team. Just like he was when he won with the Colts. So Dungey gets no credit either.

That’s not true, at all. The 2010 Packers weren’t very good, they just rode a hot QB to a title.

See, this is what I'm talking about. Are you gonna try to claim you aren't just going off resumes in this post? I guess I'll just keep saying they should hire Joe Gibbs if you think past super bowl appearances are the only thing that is worth mentioning in regards to a coach.
