We have the QB of the future.  We have some good talent.  We just need to fix the coaching and add to both lines.

Thank god it’s finally over.

Plus that delay further cements that Ryan and Kevin were literally waiting for George to make the final call.  Unfortunately, the final call for the new HC will be made by "just a fan."

Well at least Caleb doesn't look like a bust.

Why Rams assistant Thomas Brown may be the man to meet NFL’s next moment (07.05.2022)

The guy simply was not head coaching material. Then on top of that, he was running the D and not keeping his eye on the whole picture..

The Bears were in typical clusterfuck mode.  Everybody anticipated the 9a presser.  But the zoom link which normally was sent to media several hours before was literally sent minutes before 9a.  Then the note with the link said "participant - TBD."  And then to no one's surprise, Eberflus mug shows up.  I heard the live feed on 1000 and it was brutal.  "Brain trust" took "multiple hours" to make a decision?  On the guy who insisted on keeping Waldron and put him in the booth?  Or rewrote the record books on his improbable consistent habit of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory?

@TomPelissero
One lingering question from today’s bombshell in Chicago: Why did the #Bears have Matt Eberflus speak to the media hours before firing him?
 
My understanding is George McCaskey, Kevin Warren and Ryan Poles had just begun a meeting that lasted multiple hours when Eberflus’ regularly scheduled press conference started. A delay would’ve pointed towards a change that at that point hadn’t been decided. By the time the decision was finalized, the presser was long over and Eberflus was informed.
 
Now the Bears’ brain trust has a five-week jumpstart on a search to fill what should be a coveted job.

That is the most disturbing thing- the "brain trust" still can't do even the most obvious things correctly. Whether Brown works out or not the next big fear is that if Brown is maintained as HC (he would check the box of coming cheap), that idiot OLine coach will be retained yet again and the Caleb will have his life expectancy reduced next season.

This team cannot seem to get anything right. There is one common thing since the end of the Lovie era (and there were a lot of flags back then as well)- George.

It may be time to send to George to the cornfield and bring up the next bozo McCaskey in line.....

Yeah Chris Morgan wore out his welcome long ago and reeks of Eberflus futility.  Brown should ship him out and promote assistant OL coach Jason Houghtaling just to get a different voice in the room.  Vrabel liked him enough to promote him to OL coach last year for the Titans.
