because Harbaugh still might come to the Bears. His plane never landed.
UPDATE: John Fox in negotiation with Bears to become next head coach

Wasn't that a contract dispute after they had signed Tavarius (sp) jackson? I can't really recall the details.
Guess I should have refreshed the page and read Scoot's response before typing

Sure sounds a lot like how Emery handled it. Got big guys in free agency, much like Elway. It's funny because most folks here would criticize Emery for NOT getting enough free agents, when other teams who consistently succeed (like Packers, Patriots) rarely rely on free agency. So here's to hoping that Pace and Fox rely more on the draft and only get free agents that are pretty much can't miss or at a budget due to their potential.

To be fair, I wouldn't be okay with any scenario that involves gap-tooth jump-pass playing behind center. Or Matt Flynn for that matter. Brutal. Seahwaks really did get lucky that Wilson has worked out so well for them. And for pennies on the dollar too.
Why does it seem like the Bears are always on the wrong side of the luck card?

Cause they are Bears who are related to Cubs. They have a little less shitty luck.

Because of the very definition of Luck. You can make your own luck, like what the colts did. But nobody would be able to stand it in this city. Got to get that 3rd win etc

I just want to see ONE SB in my lifetime. I didn't get to see the '85 season. Make it happen football gods. I will sacrifice as many pigeons, children, or CCS mods as need be. :-v

Interesting fact about the Colts. They've had the #1 pick 4 times in their history. They've drafted Andrew Luck, Peyton Manning, Jeff George, and John Elway with those #1 picks.

You mean win one SB in your life time.... Because unless you're like 8 years old, I imagine you saw 2006.

Sound plan. We haven't had a good QB since Luckman but a few more years wont hurt. Our luck will totally change!

Once more we play a dangerous game, a game of chess against our old advisory, The Offensive Coordinator. For 40 years, your fathers before you, your older brothers played this game poorly.

I don't know. I'm a fan sitting in front of a computer.
All I do know is that the Bears are usually full of bad luck. Since 1970, they have done just about everythign possible to be as mediocre as possible. There are a few years they have dipped to 4 win seasons, but never high enough in a good draft to truly make an impact.
Another example of bad luck is in the 1969 season they finished 1-13... The one team they beat was Pittsburgh, who also finished 1-13. They flipped a coin to decide the #1 pick. The Bears lost and lost their shot at Terry Bradshaw.
Additionally, had the Bears sucked just a bit more in 1997 and won the #1 pick, I'm fairly confident that Special person management team would have drafted Ryan Leaf over Peyton Manning.
