Bears fire College scouting director.

[Trump32]

#Bears will not renew the contract of director of college scouting Marty Barrett. Story coming to http://t.co/lXYcgtUaAx soon.

Also, Bears are thin at TE, other than Martellus Bennett, but that's another story.

Just shows that Pace really wants his guys in there. I trust it.

We signed a red-headed UDFA-TE. We're good to go, mate.

Is he a Scott?

Because a twelve foot Scott at TE would be pretty badass.

So about that scouting department turnover thread from yesterday...

Sad to disappoint you, mate. He's only a 6'7 foot American. He might wear a kilt, though. Not sure.

If he is an American wouldn't it just be a Skirt then not a kilt

Wow, I read this as Marty Bennett let go. Whew, that was close.

Bah! We could talk Marty B into wearing a kilt. I was looking for our William Wallace.

Now I'm just left with Howie Long's little brat.

Bears fire college scouting director Marty Barrett after 18 years with organization, according to the Chicago Tribune.

Guess there was not enough time to fire him before draft and get a new one in place.

The only Marty B I care about is Marty Booker!

Thread title got da

Given how shittily we've drafted over the past decade or so, it makes sense to find a new director of college scouting. And it would have been too disruptive to fire the guy prior to the draft given how recently Pace was hired. Pace continues to make solid decisions.

 

[Nick80]

Biff was onto something, still, watch the pressers you silly sausage, Pace continues to be transparent in everything he has approached so far. Not like previous GMs.

Kinda odd to fire a guy after the draft; it makes one wonder what they didn't like.

 

[FireFox]

I have a feeling that this draft was all Pace. He probably just used these guys to grind through tape, but Pace scouted exactly who he wanted.

Probably his ability to evaluate talent at he college level.

Loving Pace more and more as time goes by.

Must have been over the Langford pick.
