If Pace and McDaniels click then I have no problem giving Hoody Jr another shot. He is young, smart, and deserves a 2nd crack.
Virginia and Teddy have a hard on for cast off Lions players so it will be Jim Swartz.
Schwartz is such a douche I don't think I could stomach it.
As long has Josh still has that lessonslearned.xls saved, I'm willing to give him a second chance at HC. A big plus would be it would really piss off these Cutler fanboys.
Same can be said of McDanials though, Swartz turned the Bills D into a top 5 unit (then Rex and his idiot brother came in), and seems to be working miracles with the Eagles D so far.
I find it interesting that people keep saying we need to hire the "football version of Theo Epstein". Obviously that's true - but the irony of that statement is that nobody even has the patience to see if Pace can be that guy. Have people forgotten that the Cubs rebuild took 4 years before they were contenders? The first three years under Epstein, he let the Cubs completely bottom out while acquiring assets and young talent that could be developed. We just started year two of the Pace era and everyone wants to jump ship. We could hire the "Theo Epstein" of football, but if fans had their way, we'd never find out. I don't like a lot of the moves Pace has made so far, but it's way too early to say he's been a failure.
I expect us to compete next year. I look at how we competed last year and the close games we were in with what we had. Now we're going to have players back healthy that we didn't have last year. We're to our second year in the system where guys will be playing more naturally, more comfortable and we're going to have a whole new free-agent class and a whole new draft class.

Pace says and I quote.
Assuming we take anything that comes out of Halas Hall at face value, does Pace have the balls/authority to fire a veteran head coach? That to me is what everything boils down to, given that we are going to have seriously underperformed this year by any metric.
If he can make that move, get the new appointments right and got on a QB then he will have redeemed himself in my eyes and I'll be optimistic about the future. If we go 3-13 and Fox is still around then we will know exactly where the power lies in the organisation and we should be very afraid.
Two years ago fans and media were questioning Theo and wondering if he was ever going to turn this around. Give Pace time. Let's see what he does with Fox and cutler.
I would fire John Fox
He won't be fired, he is entrenched.
