Worst Head Coach since 1983

[Mighty Joe Young]

I voted Trestman. Yall are prisoners of the moment.

Not saying Flus won't inevitably be, but they tanked last year on purpose.

And they came back with not building in the trenches by all that much.

All this anger over Flus - I'd be putting the one who hired him in the crosshairs FIRST.

I just don’t get how Flus brings in Williams. He’s awful, that 1st 3rd & 13 in the Packer game was just fucking awful.

It was a while ago so I won’t pretend to remember what the exact expectations were for the bears but that hire was mocked from the get go. The team was filled with aging veterans and half the defense stopped caring once their bff coach was fired.

What were their expectations from outside of Chicago?

I'll be honest, I don't remember either haha. I was more so looking at the talent we had thinking we should have done more.

But I just did a search on NFL season predictions for both 2013 and 2014. Consensus from different sites seems to have had the bears at around 9-7 in 2013. We finished 8-8, so not too far off. But I did read a couple of comments where people thought we should be better, but because Trestman was such an odd hire and because we let go of a locker room favorite in Lovie, they didn't trust us. I think that's pretty telling too. If we brought in a good coach, I don't think those would have been concerns.

In 2014, a few sites had us finishing 11-5. We finished 5-11... so definitely underdelivered.

So looking at that, I guess 2013 went about as expected and we shit the bed in 2014, based on what the expectations were.

Hey man I get it.

But at the same time, aside from the quarterback, you build an NFL team From The Trenches first.

Poles has been attacking this thing backwards.

Really, any of this talk is premature. I'm just indulging in the conversation.

But I will say that Wright and Dexter had better pan out by the end of the year.

Or else I'll have deeper questions than just the head coach.

I really don’t think Dexter is going to show much. He’s just too much of a project; he fits better in a 3-4.

 

[ZOMBIE@CTESPN]

I’m voting eberflus and trestman second place. And both were hired in an odd fashion by George what a coincidence

 

[ZOMBIE@CTESPN]

How many coaches had their GM trade the teams best player and waive the white flag mid-season?

I know you are your record, but Flus really does have extenuating circumstances.

Eberflus said himself you don’t pay off the ball lbs after the trade. Of course they paid one in offseason but it was what he wanted

 

[tcmtrinity]

Honestly the list is a murder's row of shit. Then including the coordinators, with the exception of Ryan, Fangio, perhaps Toub, equal levels of soul-crushing ineptitude.

 

[MakeMyDay]

This is a no brainer - "Wannstedt" was a Coach/GM and shitty at both - He stuck here for 6 seasons and set the franchise back for several more -

What does that have to do with the team purposely tanking mid season?

He was GM too? I’ve kinda put those years out of memory now

 

[pablovi]

Right Now Nagy, he was worse than Trestman, and had a much better team. But Eberflus is catching up, although the talent on the field is lacking.

 

[Gustavus Adolphus]

It’s Ditka, and it’s not particularly close.

 

[MakeMyDay]

Yep - He ran the whole thing for 6 years - Roster/Draft/Free Agents/Coach

It is so cringeworthy when clowns here say give the coach complete control -

Least accomplished with most legendary talent. By far.

That gap tooth bitch, right...

 

[Chicago Staleys]

I voted ditka. Dude wasted a dynasty. Imagine if those 80s bears had a good head coach?

Charles Martin put an end to that, not Ditka. The 1986 team would have won again.

 

[sevvy]

I wonder how the 2013 Bears would have looked if Trestman was the OC and we kept Love as the HC.

Lovie's achilles heel was never being able to find a decent OC. I guess that's the Bears achilles heel, too.

Meh. Gibbs won with Rypkien and Parcells won with Hostetler. Hell, Foles took over for Wentz and won. Jimmy Mac was playing like trash in 86, so I don't think he was the key. I think Ditka was out of his league

LOL! I love how people assume the Bears would have waltzed right in to NY and beat the 14-2 Giants simply because McMahon was playing. ???
