If Omar Khan doesn't succeed Kevin Colbert as Steelers GM, he
would be a great candidate to eventually move over to president
of football operations if George would get his "I'm a fan only"
head out of his ass. You combine him with a promoted up and
comer talent evaluator, especially in the OL, like Morroco
Brown, that would be sweet. They both have a relationship with
Mark Sadowski who IMO is still a valuable piece of the college
scouting side that helped Pace get some of those late round
values.

GM first, HC as he sees fit. Any other way would be disaster....
George "Chauncey The Gardener" making it go the other way would
just be his way of "Being There" (sweaty Teddy in for the final
call probably)....

CHICAGO BEARS TO INTERVIEW ENTIRE NFL FOR GM AND HC POSITIONS.
Hey how do you kill three birds with one stone ? Hire Nathanial
Hackett from G.B.
1. We get a H.C.
2. We get the O.C. who keeps the pack at 13-3.
3. We take the brains from the packers.
Btw ... throw in Fangio at D.C. Your thoughts ?

I think my favorite GM/coach combo early on is Elliot
Wolf/Flores.
Wolf is the son of Ron Wolf. He worked for the Packers and is
now with the Patriots, so he came up in the best two run
franchises in the NFL.

I dont think Hackett is the one who is making Rogers a success
in GB. I think Rogers has the horseshoe up his asss along with
something else, and he makes who ever look good. Pass on him.

The Packers has had a horseshoe, rabbit's foot, and the kitchen
sink up their asses for the last 30 goddamn years. Maybe Eliot
Wolfe will want to prove they were wrong for choosing Gutekunst
over nepotism at GM...

I think that would be a great idea. Does the family that got
really rich while fielding a losing team for 30 years think so ?
Probably not. basically same group of buffoons that have done
the choosing before. Number one qualifier? The family likes you.
Number 2-10 qualifiers ? See qualifier number 1.

Our only hope is that Polian steers them in the right direction.

I've been thinking about and I believe there's a well of feeling
for the Bears (as among most teams) amongst fans. That well does
dry up if not rewarded with the great story, championship and
all that comes with that territory. I think the well amongst
fans (especially older ones) is drying up fast. Younger ones
don't even have that to fall back on. We at least have 85.
But before that all that was the 63 champions and the champions
of the bygone age of the 30s-50s. I became a fan in the terrible
70s, caught between the 2 worlds of the 63 Championship team and
before the 85 SB run and the playoffs runs of the 80s. We had
Walter to look forward to on Sunday. We had legends of the
recent past (Ditka, Sayers, Butkis) and a few we rooted for
because they were our our "guys" (like the 2 Dougys Buffone and
Plank). But the offense (other than Walter) was horseshit, even
in a bad offensive era. Still the well of hope filled up when we
went to the playoffs in the late 70s, even though they never
advanced. And when Da Coach came in and Halas passed, we knew we
were in for a hell of a ride.....
Today, most fans are far younger than I, and 1985, as legendary
as it was, is as far before their time as the 63 championship
was to mine. There "well" has been filled up with a crappy 90s,
Hopeful early 2000s and much really, really bad offensive
football in a league that EMPHASIZES offense. That SB that they
lost was truly a lost opportunity.....
Why this rant ? Because I think that the McCaskets don't get
that the well is not as full as it was for those who lived
through the 80s (in particular 85). Fandom is different now.
People tend root for players, not laundry, so to speak. The cost
to be paid for Fantasy Football and now legalized gambling. A
few more years of current ineptitude and it will be VERY hard
for them to find anyone who gives a damn about them. And if the
younger generation does not care, what will they instill in
THEIR younger generation of kids coming up ?
I truly fear the fields of failed dreams this franchise has sown
over the last 30 or so years will reverberate in Bear fandom in
the years to come. They are a joke. I mean the SNL superfans
skits, as fun as they are, were a backhand slap at the Second
City but we loved them just the same. Now when casual fans think
bears they think of the franchise that cannot shoot straight.
The "lets let Rex pass the ball in the rain when running the
ball was working" or the "Double Doink". I mean, the Bears never
had a 4000 yard passer in a 16 game season. And they look like
they will never have on in a 17 game season either. Disgraceful.
The McCaskets are running a funeral parlor for Christ's sake.
They have been burying this franchise since they booted Finks
out and got their ghoulish hands on the controls.
Despite this rant I am a naturally optimistic person, but
thinking about this franchise is so damn depressing. These hires
are the most important in their history- and I don't think
really realize that. Maybe they'll get it right this time.
Probably not considering the same fools are in charge of hiring
the new fools that hired the previous fools (x2).....
We shall see. But the well is drying up fast, and they need to
refill it pronto..........
If nothing else, its a version of reality TV that at least isn't
pre-scripted (yet) :D
