Per Brad Biggs on M&H on the Score this morning- he claimed a league exec that he often speaks to that usually doesn't offer an opinion stated he believes its 70/30 that Fox is the Bears HC.

I wonder why its only 70/30 and not 90/10. Tells me there is confidence in hiring him there, but theres some obvious weakness that isn't making this a done deal.

I have heard that Teryl Austin really impressed the Bears.

I wonder if the hold up is on the Bears end or on Fox's end. I would assume on Fox's.

But jobs are disappearing fast and I doubt that Fox is going to allow himself to be left out in the cold.

It's clear that Hub does not like Fox...

But where did Shanny win his 3rd SB?

I wouldn't be surprised if something breaks today or by the weekend. Fox is going to be the guy.

I don't think they will let him leave the building without signing is my guess. I think there will be an announcement today.

There is a 30% chance Brad Biggs mistakes him for a doughnut and eats him.

What intrigues me about Fox is that IMO, it makes sense to see this team function under a "Normal" head coach before determining the rebuild project at hand. Is Brandon Marshall a fucking nutjob(well he is) but, can a coach with a set of balls control him? (He seemed fine under Lovie). What about Jared Allen? Is this dude toast, or did Tuckers awful scheme emasculate him?

I hate to overreact and dump 1/2 the roster if the issue was just a coach that let everything get out of control. Let's see these players perform under a controlled environment under Fox and go from there.

Or....they haven't even interviewed him yet? Knowing that, I'd say 70/30 is pretty strong..
