Kubiac had a minor stroke in Houston because he couldn't handle the pressure. There is no way he could handle the fans, media and pressure of the Chicago market.

Basic house salad or did you fancy it up? Hope you included radish. Criminally underrated salad ingredient.

Ravens OC Gary Kubiak turned down HC interviews today and told the team's website he plans to remain with Baltimore.

1 year as a coordinator of an ok D. Good but nothing special.
And Im sick of guys with no HC experience. We are 0-4 on them since our last championship coach.
Same can be said about the GM job. Chicago is a huge market and charter NFL club they city and the fans deserve better. It would be nice for once to bring in a proven commodity. I wish they would stop experimenting with guys that have never held the job before. Bears have a long convincing track record of hiring losers

I would not use great to describe any D this year.
Not even a look at Rex who had success as a head coach.
Hue Jackson did a very good job as HC and has been a coordinator many times.
Even Jack Del Rio had some success as a HC. In Jacksonville of all places.
Why not Marrone? He had an average Buffalo team a game away from the playoffs this year.

Would not be surprised at all if we are viewed as a bad spot because of Cutler. He could be the biggest coach killer in the league.

I don't know if it is just Cutler. I think the roster is sort of thin. In addition you have to believe that Pace is actually going to have the autonomy to make the football decisions. Will you be able to hire your own coaches and coordinators? That has not always been the case in the past. And I wonder if they are willing to pay a solid salary? The Bears have been fairly cheap in the past when it comes to coaches salaries, and they are paying for Emery and Trestman already. All and all there are a number of things that detract from this situation being ideal.

Trestman's salary was $4.25 million. The average coaches salary is $4.85 million. Trestman was listed 21st as far as head coach salaries go. The highest is Sean Payton making $8 million a year. But there are 11 coaches making a lower salary than Trestman was. And some good coaches on the list, Ron Rivera and Mike McCoy are both making $4 million a year.
My point was the number being floated around about Jim Harbaugh was $8 million a year. The Bears were never going to pay that. There are 17 coaches listed making $5 million a year or more, John Fox and Jim Harbaugh are on that list. I think the Bears are going to be reluctant to pay anyone more than $4 million a year, considering that they are going to be paying Trestman $4.25 million for a couple of more years. I think John Fox would want more. I think Doug Marrone would want more. I just don't think the Bears would be willing to pay John Fox what he would want in salary to coach the Bears.
So our first time HC from the CFL made less than average? WeirdTrestman's salary was $4.25 million. The average coaches salary is $4.85 million.

How about Lovie Smith being the highest paid at time of his extension, and the 5th highest by the time his time was up here

Nah...its Cutler. Nobody wants to start their coaching tenure stuck with some malcontent loser that's not even very good at the most important position.

I'm with you I'd prefer to start with some new blood. I think I would prefer Quinn or Toub.
