That is honestly the most ridiculous way to go about hiring a HC that I can think of. If Paces approaches his HC hire in such a manner he is going to be worthless as a GM.
And in three years without a playoff appearance everyone will be up in arms demanding heads roll, and hell be fired.
And who is YOUR magical candidate who is going to make the Bears into perennial superbowl contenders, you angry dumbshit?
It's a total fucking crapshoot with the Head Coaching candidate pool right now, and at least with Fox, he's the only one where you know what you are getting.
You badmouth the job he did, yet in his time in Carolina when he had a lot of say in who was drafted, he got an all pro out of almost every damn draft. If he has an ego? Pace worked right next to and hand in hand with Sean Payton.
If you think under ANY fucking head coach the Bears will be sniffing the playoffs or Superbowl next year under whatever crapshoot choice "your guy" is, 1) stop sniffing glue and 2) go play in traffic. Because that's just fucking dumb.
The Bears are next to barren in terms of talent, and were left in the custodial care of an overly permissive enabler who let the inmates run the asylum, resulting in an absolutely TOXIC locker room. And that makes a BIG difference in who you bring in, because you need someone who can command respect and clean up the shit that went on. And even if you don't like him, Fox carries that weight in a locker room. He's someone who can steady the ship, and get it pointing in the right direction.
For you to spit on that, shows you are in complete ignorant denial of where the Bears really were. If you were a Cubs fan, I bet you were one of the idiot few bitching about the long rebuild process and just wanting them to go out and spend like Steinbrenner every year for a world series instead of taking the time to do it right.
Fixing the Bears is going to take TIME. Its going to take at least 3 solid drafts to even get playoff competitive again, barring a fluke year. So pardon me if I want a veteran coach, who unlike the Rex Ryan's, Del Rio's and Kubiak's of the world has been to 6 division and 2 conference championships and 2 Superbowls in his 13 years of NFL coaching.
I'll take that known to fix this mess any day. Because I actually give a shit about the big picture. That doesn't mean I'm settling. It means I actually have a fucking clue rather than having a hard on for some no-name coordinator who will likely either flame out or be washed up in a year or two anyway.
