       Hmmm...

       Not sure this is such a great loss.  The Titans' QB play (and
       offense in general) has hardly been that special the last few
       years.
       Wonder what's the deal with Bates?  Supposedly Angelo was the
       reason he turned us down the first time so I'm thinking it can't
       hurt to at least try again now.
       You got this Titans guy, before that the Jags guy.  I mean
       really...  would it be too much to hire a passing coordinator /
       QB coach from a team that actually had a decent passing offense
       and whose QBs were... you know... GOOD?

       Not only has there been no apparent movement on interviewing GM
       candidates...
       We also have not taken any steps (reported, anyway) towards
       replacing our QB coach OR in finding a new OL coach to take
       Tice's former duties.
       W*T*F are they doing up there in Halas Hall anyway?  Did they
       give everybody the month off or something?

       Clearly they are deciding on which search firm  to hire to
       search for their GM

       You have to look very slowly for a search firm so you make the
       right decision...
       Yeah this thing is getting old for me also.  I have no problem
       if they don't hire someone right away.  I am pissed because they
       are not interviewing anyone.
       Most teams would have had a short list of promising GM's they
       want to interview before they fired Angelo.  What is taking so
       long?
       Surely they know at least 5 guys they want to interview.
       Interview them already!

       Unless all the guys they want to talk to are still involved in
       the playoffs. But that didn't stop the Raiders.
       This is starting to smell a lot like the whole CF that brought
       us Martz.

       Yapper, Agreed!
       I am hoping the passing coach they want to hire is from New
       England, New Orleans or Green Bay and that is why they are
       dragging their feet there.

       So I asked this in another forum ....
       Did the pick we traded to Denver for Cutler get Denver Tebow?

       Agree! Remember, we have a non football person making football
       decisions.

       we have a business guy making business decisions.
       He needs to hire the best GM candidate out there and does not
       need to use the good ole boy network.
       I expect a couple of the guys they want to interview are still
       in the playoffs.
       I like the idea of Dorsey from the Packers. He is high in their
       scouting dept and they scout/draft as well as any team in the
       league at least on the offensive side.

       Another team that's gonna let their new GM clean out the
       coaching staff if he sees fit.
       But yet Lovie is untouchable.
       Unbelievable.
       Since Lovie Smith is now the de facto GM of the Bears they might
       as well just hold a presser and make it official.
       Then in April Ruskell can draft all the Tampa 2 defenders Lovie
       tells him to, we can pinch pennies in FA, finish 7-9 in 2012
       with Cutler injured for the 3rd straight season, and then in
       2013 McCaskey and Phillps will launch the whole crew plus Cutler
       and Forte and we'll be rebuilding both sides of the ball for the
       next 3-5 years.  Brilliant.
