This is why you don’t make Thomas Brown the interim HC

Exactly, the clowns held onto Flus after last year. At least he is gone. And gives them a head start on the coaching search(although they'll probably mess it up). Now the Bears just need to get through the rest of the year without any injuries
The coaching search was going on long before Thanksgiving. The process is done behind the scenes.

I think we both want the same thing. We want Caleb's development to not be hindered. I would have preferred someone else take over as interim head coach specifically because Brown seemed to have Caleb turning a corner. Nothing would have prevented the Bears from interviewing Brown next off season even if he didn't fill in at HC. It was handled poorly.

I think they could have fired Flus, kept Brown where he was at and went with someone else at interim HC.

Agreed.

So eventually, we'll end up with our 3rd Matt coach in a row

No we did not run that risk because obviously if they fired him midseason they would have fired him end of season.

Only Bears fan meatballs thought the D would be fine no matter what but listening to meatballs rarely makes sense.

Caleb needed Brown's focus 100%. Even if they did fire Flus should have made Wash or Hightower HC. I mean we just saw the Jets fire Saleh and see the D play like shit so Poles and Warren should have known better.
Hightower was my choice, let the shitshow commence, but Hightower can call the shots. Instead they threw a passing game coordinator, then interim OC to be the interim HC. So Bears

This is exactly what most of you CCS clowns wanted.

Firing a coach in the middle of the season almost never works and usually ends in more disaster...
Mmm... I don't think I would put it that way...

If you're considering firing the HC mid-season the disaster is already there.

True, a replacement almost never works out, but sometimes it improves the situation, while keeping a failed HC less often turns things around.

I think the smart move would be to have bagent play and if he does reasonably well, maybe you have. A trade piece in bagent but that may sour the fans on Williams and hurt him psychologically.

They’ve obviously quit playing hard.

I said this from the start but the mob wanted Flus gone. Now the D looks like ass without him and we getting blown out.

Wasnt fair to Caleb or Brown. There would have been no downside to letting Brown focus on Caleb and let Flus take the heat the rest of the season.
If I was GM -- earlier on -- I would have taken Offensive game-time decisions away from Flus. Forced him to take on a defensive consultant on the Prevent Defense and game-time operations such as communication and game-time defensive decisions. And of course, fired Waldron.

I also hate the constant zone scheme, it allows good teams to have long sustainable drives! I would hate it as a player and add the fact that the offense can’t stay on the field very long and you have a shit sandwich

Offense and Williams were overall trending in the right direction after jettisoning Shane Waldron.

Then the Bears made Thomas Brown the interim head coach—just a few weeks removed from being the friggin’ passing game coordinator.

When your offense and your rookie QB are on a knife’s edge, you don’t screw around with anything.

Bears gonna Bear.

We can thank the terrible chicago media for forcing the bears hand.

They are trying to do the same with ryan poles.

Wait till they find out that it can get worse and hire the next phil emery

Yep, Totally agree.

It goes to show how f***ed the Bears management is. Any one who have common sense would know a guy 'Brown', that initially wasn't good enough to be a OC in first place will overwhelmed running the whole team and serve as OC.. That's So Bears..
