He makes the Saints well more than his salary every year, there's no way they are in a hurry to get rid of his salary. It doesn't even count against the cap -- it would be a pure business decision, and a poor one. New Orleans loves him.

George McCaskey and the rest of the Bears’ board (meaning, his family) are, without a doubt, an egregious group of failsons and faildaughters. But that can be said for most NFL owners, including many successful teams. For as idiotic and out of touch as they can be, I don’t buy that this family is a factor in preventing a premium name from taking the podium at Halas Hall.
Throw in a ready-made quarterback to mold like Justin Fields — the hardest part of the job to nail down — and this is the most attractive opening, bar none. Everyone wants to be the person that brings the Chicago Bears back to their former glory. As corny and cliche as it might sound, that distinction matters to type-A football people (which describes everyone).

LOL at a two-bit writer from the Rock River Times claiming the Bears don't deserve respect as a professional football franchise. What a maroon. Just in the last 20 years, the Bears have five conference championships, have reached the NFC Conference championship twice, won once, and has been to a Super Bowl. Could they have done better? Sure. But there's a lot of teams that have worse to much worse 20-year records than that.
Did they screw up with the Pace/Nagy combination? Sure.I'm just here for the baseball.

I did however still enjoy your remarks on what you posted.

I'm pretty sure our OC will be gone somewhere, which will be too bad, but pretty much inevitable. Hackett has done an amazing job - sure, he has Aaron Rodgers to work with, but the before and after metrics when Hackett started are pretty amazing.
And, sure I love picking on the Bears and Bears fans, but saying they don't deserve respect as a professional football franchise is simply a brain dead statement.I'm just here for the baseball.

The Bears are talking to almost everyone with a pulse for their GM and Coach positions. They are being very public (damage control) about the candidates.
I do not remember this transparency or volume when they hired Pace and then Nagy.
They are saying that the GM will operate as the top position for all football activities and yet are open to hiring a coach before the GM if needed.

It would make sense to me if the Bears promoted Champ Kelly to GM. Bears ownership would already know or at least have an idea who Champ would like as coach. And he would not have to be in the interview process.
If ownership is leaning this way it wouldn't matter if they announced the new HC before GM.
I am not saying I agree with this, just something that I could see happening.
