The skill sets required to shake money lose from politicos is
not the skill set required to get the right people in the right
place to win nfl championships. That the Tanninbaums think it
is, or close enought that it will work while the money machine
cranks on, is the problem.

So my question remains unanswered. Let me simplify it. Does
Phillips get fired if he cant find a GM outside the Bears? He
was given a job to do and IMHO he is going to fail at it.

I think the answer depends.
If the family has issued a decree that Lovie stays and Philips
can't find a GM then you can't pin that on Philips.
If Philips is the one saying it then he has to go.
I'm thinking it is almost lip service and that for the right GM
they can send the coaches packing and start all over.
I'd take a chance on a young up comer from a winning
organization before I would hire a retread that never was.

But he is already under contract in Ruskell, the up and comer
isnt. Dont see them canning the whole coaching staff and paying
for 2 coaching staffs. Just not the Bears modus operandi.

if they don't do something positive, more than status quo, I
might start pulling for the Panthers.
Anyone know a good Panthers board?
At least then I could watch every game and actually pull for the
team from the state I live in!

When I give up on the Bears I give up on NFL football. I lived
before the Bears, I'll live after. I don't need a daily
reminder of ineptness in a family business. McCasky's are
nothing but a booby hatch.

Here in NC most of football season is decent weather, I could do
something much better.
Honestly if it weren't for the folks here I'd likely give it up.

The Panthers have the makings of a real good team if given
another year or two of solid personnel acquisitions.
Their two biggest challenges at this point are getting a stud WR
for Newton to throw too, and getting their D up to snuff.
Alshon Jeffery is right in the Panthers' backyard and if they
nab him, that handles the first to-do. And with Rivera as HC
I've got to believe that D won't stink for too much longer.
It doesn't help that they have the Saints and the Falcons in
their division but I'm not sure how much longer the Falcons can
be considered legit after being bounced from their first playoff
game in convincing fashion, two years in a row.
