OT: Bears & NFL Talk 102

[Backyard Hockey]

I made the 'bold predicition' yesterday morning that Flus would be coaching his last game as the Bears HC yesterday. I had no idea it would go the way it went. No one did.

Think about it - outside of maybe the Demar Hamlin on field thing, what happened in that game might be the newsworthy thing that has happened in the NFL in the last 10 years. Seriously, it was beyond comprehension and something that could have never been predicted.

Vrabel will be the next HC

 

[matt trick]

I can’t decide what would be more surprising- firing him or not. I didn’t think it would happen, but felt it had to happen. Think I’m more surprised he was fired…

4 winnable games, 0-4….had to go. Hoping we can get a top 7 pick and two others in the top 40. Should be a stud linemen on either side of the ball in the first. Don’t care the position, just get the guy most likely to be a pro-bowl lineman.

 

[Paul Allen]

Wouldn’t surprise me if they win out now that they are rid of Flus.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

What I love about this is that it’s a 5 week interview of Brown to see if he’s an HC candidate.

 

[Ajex12x]

It blows my mind when people feel sorry for someone getting fired who clearly deserves it. The guy has been paid extremely well, and likely never deserved that head coaching money to begin with. He will be fine. He still gets paid.

He's a terrible f***ing coach. Good riddance.

This post is like Pat Foley ripping into Karpotsev, love it, especially with the 'good riddance', so true.

 

[Sarava]

There was no way this was not going to happen after yesterday.

Good luck to Thomas Brown

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Everything this org does is wrong. They send Flus out to do his Zoom presser and they fire him an hour later? Just lame

Side note. Watching a podcast now and Briggs is savaging the LB. He said they’ve been terrible most of the season.

 

[Crow]

I can’t believe they made him do the press conference two hours ago.

While I didn’t like him as a coach that’s a dirty thing to do.

Guy is still going to get paid millions for a while. He can do a lousy press conference while they show him the door. He made his bed.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Good. The Bears didn't f*** up and keep him around anymore.

Now to see how they f*** up hiring his replacement.

100%. I think he still gets paid for the rest of this year and 2 more seasons. Boo hoo. If my job wants to can me and pay me for 2 1/2 years, they can do me wrong on the way out the door too.

It’s not about him. That’s about how poorly managed the Bears are

I think Brown ends up with it, barring any disasters.

Right. Guy got fired with 2 years severance for a job he never deserved. Merry Christmas!

 

[Sarava]

If Brown ends up the guy next year, then we have to hope we don't have our own Antonio Pierce situation.

 

[TLEH]

Think about how bad it had to get for them to fire a coach in season. The players legit might have revolted it was so bad.

 

[Teemu]

Yea, this is my fear. Brown will beat the Packers in Green Bay and then get the job with no serious offseason job search

 

[TheComingOfTheCrow]

Probably waited til after the presser to fire flus so poles didn't have to go out there and get grilled in his place

 

[Bounces R Way]

Well thank god that's over. So many late 4th Qs where it looked like nobody knew what the f*** was going on or what their job was. So many 1st halves that they looked totally unprepared and overwhelmed.

Guess we'll see how Brown does, don't have high hopes. Maybe poach Saleh from GB? Thought he got a raw deal with the Jets.

 

[Winger98]

I really wonder if he would have kept his job if he would have just went into the presser and said that he screwed up and owned it.

Think about how bad it had to get for them to fire a coach in season. The players legit might have revolted it was so bad.

from their play and some of their comments after the game I sort of thought they already had.

He will also be very cheap to hire

McCaskey's will love that

 

[Romang67]

Watch Thomas Brown become the next HC, at which point the voices involved in the draft will be two former OL and one former RB, and them still skimp out on the OL investment.

You make that bold prediction 100 times a f***ing year.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

They'll hire someone super cheap because that's what the Bears do. Bad organizations stay bad.

 

[ChicagoBlues]

Thank God for small mercies!

Eberflus froze up and shut down and other colorful phrases.
