Well you might want to put that rocket back in your pocket, it is just a rumor for now.  But how great would that team of coaches be?

Unless Toub is no longer under contract with the Chiefs I don't see how Reid let's somebody he calls the best ST coach in the league just go to the Bears in a lateral move.

One site I found had the Bears ranked 23rd in the league in STs.

Love the rumors, but I will feel much better when I see the official announcement on Vic.

Bears must be throwing dough around like they mean it. Hope they get the best bang for the buck.

Hiestand was bad when he was here the last time. And the Oline at ND was horrible this year.

I guess Notre Dame is kind of like the Dallas Cowboys - you either love them or hate them....looks like you are in the latter category.

NEW YORK - The University of Notre Dame's offensive line unit has been named finalists for the 2017 Joe Moore Award, which identifies the most outstanding offensive line unit in college football.

The Irish offensive line has been instrumental in the team's 9-3 record and No. 15 College Football Playoff ranking. Notre Dame ranks third in the Football Bowl Subdivision in rushing yards/carry (6.37), seventh in rushing yards (3,349), seventh in rushing offense (279.1) and 13th in rushing TDs (34). The Irish have rushed for at least 300 yards on seven occasions, at least 400 yards twice and over 500 yards once.

Notre Dame leads the nation in rushing yards (877) and ranks second in rushing TDs () in games against AP top-25 opponents. The Irish also leads the nation in rushing yards (2,253) and rushing TDs (23) in games against FBS teams with a winning record. In fact, the Irish are the only FBS team with at least 2,000 rush yards and at least 20 rushing TDs this season against FBS teams with a winning record.

Notre Dame is the only unit in the country to average over 250.0 rush yards/game with at least seven games against FBS teams with a winning record (and Notre Dame's played nine). The Irish average 250.3 rush yards/game and 5.84 yards/rush in its nine games against FBS teams with a winning record.

Notre Dame ranks in the top three nationally in runs of at least 20 yards (3rd, 39), 30 yards (2nd, 26), 40 yards (2nd, 15), 50 yards (3rd, 11), 60 yards (t-1st, nine) and 70 yards (2nd, four).

The group, led by graduate captain and left tackle Mike McGlinchey and senior captain and left guard Quenton Nelson, has paved the way for junior Josh Adams. The running back ranks seventh in the FBS in rush yards/carry (7.26), 12th in rush yards (1,386) and 16th in rush yards/game (115.5). Adams ranks in the top three nationally in runs of at least 30 yards (3rd, 13), 40 yards (4th, eight), 50 yards (t-2nd, eight), 60 yards (1st, seven) and 70 yards (2nd, four).

It was far from horrible.  They won the Joe Moore award for best OL in college football.  That's pretty much the opposite of horrible. 

As a ND fan I've watched every game that Hiestand coached there. I always felt that Hiestand was good at developing individual talent, but his lines seemed to lack cohesiveness and would struggle against schools with top end talent.  He always had elite OL talent to work with but I always felt they were underperforming the level they should be playing when you see how many guys he graduated to the NFL.

in 2009, I was in Boston on a business trip and the callers were ripping the Patriots, Belechik, and the Patriots in general.  In Boston.

My point?  As fans of a given team, we always want to see perfection.  When our teams don't meet that standard we don't think they are as good as the outside world thinks they are...

If ND won the Joe Moore award, then they were pretty damn good

Kreutz said that Hiestand was the best position coach he ever had.
