Have people even considered the similarities between the Bears and their baby brothers´, the Cubs?
New management takes over the team and immediately gets rid of their good but older players.
A coach is hired to take the lumps of many losing seasons as the team is completely gutted and rebuilt slowly.
When the team is near the end of its rebuild, after many losing seasons, it replaces its coach with an exciting, innovative coach.
At the same time, it becomes a spender in the free agent market.
Up to now, the similarities are astounding. They may be willing to go after Mack even with their huge free agency spending this offseason.
Now, I don´t expect the Raiders to be stupid enough to trade Mack but Chucky is a my-way-or-the-highway type of coach who already has gotten rid of players for no apparent reason.
