Can the Bears hire Mike Sherman too...and just be a whole team coached by ex NFC North coaches (Marinelli, Martz, Tice...) they just need some former Packer coach representation.

The Bears need to bring Ditka back. Or at least Mini-Ditka.

Why not Forest Gregg...to even out the rivalry with Rodgers?

Probably should snag a TB coach too....just so the whole Central can be back together...Gruden or Wyche would be sufficient.Take Bart Starr...he sucked as a coach.

Maybe the "coach effect" will distract everyone long enough that management will be able to throw Lovie from the train without blinking an eye... Or maybe things work themselves out?
Either way, Lovie better learn to stop-drop-and-roll. It's gonna be a long off-season...Sweetness_34

The Bears tried with Clements. Packers did not allow interview....

try throwing deep at Soldier Field in December, with the wind howling in from Lake Michigan.

Are they putting a dome on Soldier Field? 
I think the trade for Cutler signaled the end of that mind set.Someone in the organization wants a high scoring QB-driven offense.I think that someone will not be with the team next year (unless her name is Virginia).

No TE has ever caught more than 38 balls in a season under a Mike Martz offense, discuss please.

Always figured they were needed more as blockers in Martz scheme.

i'm sure that's already been discussed. Greg Olsen just fell in the rankings like a bowling ball through cheesecloth.

Am I the only person who looks at this as an act of desperation. I would not hire an AC who was already a HC and especially won that won a SB as the OC and went to a SB as a HC two years later on the same team...how will Martz be happy being an OC for the Bears?
I actually think people will buy into more Cutler hype but I am thinking about watching most of these guys on other teams in leagues I compete in.

I have to go wth good on this one, if anyone on the bears is gonna be better because of this it's Forte. he's gonna continue to catch a lot of passes so if it's a ppr league that's great for you hell he may even catch more passes than before it's definitely possible, like a poor man's Marshall Faulk or something. And like the other fbg said no one runs the ball more inside the five than Martz.

Those stats may be a bit misleading. It is the argument of cause and effect.Does Martz actually not throw to the TEs because of their position, or was it because Martz has never had a good TE like Olsen to use? Some people may argue that Vernon Davis is a good TE, but he really only seemed to have jumped into a more prominent role this past year.I don't know the answer but are Cam Cleeland, Ernie Conell, Brandon Manumaleuma, Roland Williams, Marcus Pollard and Vernon Davis the best set of TEs to make a judgment on that Martz just avoids TEs all together?
Ministry of Pain
Footballguy
If he wanted to exploit the TE...geez, I dunno...I guess he could have brought someone in that he wanted. Did he have a say on any of his QBs, RBs, and WRs over the years or did he just settle for whatever he could find?

Help or Hurt Forte? I think it hurts him. Martz is pass happy

Damn, now I have to find a way to sell Olsen ASAP.

Since Forte is a good receiving back, I'd think it would help him in PPR leagues and hurt him a bit in non-PPR.
destro
Footballguy
That's about right, imo, but it's important to note that his 2009 performance should be the baseline, i.e. he's going to be a pretty bad starting RB in fantasy terms in 2010. Do not count on 2008-type numbers from Forte ever again, unless something significant changes about his situation.

Martz says he's never had a TE like Olsen. He called him "a mismatch" for other teams.

dont forget the bears have Kevin Jones, another catching RB, and martz may use both. im speculating and will know a bit more in the next few days and definitely what the plan is before the draft.

Can't wait to see Martz install his high-flyin', pass-happy offense with Jay Cutler slingin' the rock to all . . . those . . . great . . . receivers?

This is horrible news for those of us who have Forte and Olsen.
Sammy Traveller

obviously he's never heard of Vernon Davis.

from a fantasy perspective.
the bears have some important pieces and if they make the right moves this offseason and they wont, they can turn this around real quick. If the bears get a #1 WR and the rest of the resources are spent on the O line, they can have a real good fantasy thing going there. that would make Aromashodu, Iglesias, Hester, Olsen, Forte and Smith contend to be the #2 and #3 WR option.

The good news is, think of all of the candidates for the position of interim coach. They could replace the coach like 5 times before they run out of guys on staff who have NFL head coaching experience.
I think Marinelli will be named D-C soon. There's nobody else under consideration right now, and Lovie said he wanted to have the staff complete before the Super Bowl.
I would not be shocked to see Olson traded. You already have Dez Clark who is capable, and Olson has some value. With the Bears desperately needing draft picks, it would make sense.

3666 yards, 27 TDs this year to those same receivers.Any chance he improves on those numbers with Martz at OC? Has a Martz offense ever had fewer that 4000 passing yards?
