So would Ted Phillips become George Halas or something?Guys in the know like Tom Waddle and Kaplan have said for the last 2 years Pace is universally loved in that building and he isn't going anywhere. He will be promoted to a different position in the building at worst so his finger prints will still be all over this thing. He's a made man up there and I have no idea why.
Seems like he might be their new Ted Phillips.
If they are going to fire him Friday it really makes no sense to not have fired him Sunday evening.Report: Bears to fire Matt Nagy after Thanksgiving game
The McCaskeys have never fired a coach midseason. The report does not mention Ryan Pace.www.yahoo.com
Two questions...
1. Why let him coach at all?
2. Are the Bears really going to allow Pace to hire another Coach (his 3rd)?
I can't stand Bears Ownership!
Genuinely asking, does anyone have any insight?Guys in the know like Tom Waddle and Kaplan have said for the last 2 years Pace is universally loved in that building and he isn't going anywhere.

Fox wasn’t Pace’s hire. Ernie Accorsi recommended both Fox and Pace to the Bears. Pace obviously agreed to take the job with Fox as the coach, but we have no idea if Fox was the guy he would have hired had he had the chance to bring in his own guy.Genuinely asking, does anyone have any insight?
Putting it gently, his tenure has been ghastly. A quick track record:
1) First coaching hire: John Fox.
2) First draft pick (Round 1, Pick 7): Kevin White, WR, now out of the league.
3) Second first-round draft pick: Trades up for Mitch Trubisky who is now a backup in Buffalo.
4) Second coaching hire: Matt Nagy.
5) Two wild card losses in the playoffs in 2018 and 2020.
My brain can't comprehend how this resumé can lead to someone to failing upward in an organization.
This is the exact same thing that happened with Trubisky.The other thing I haven’t gotten is it doesn’t seem like the offense is geared towards Fields’ strengths. So my question is did Pace discuss Fields with Nagy before taking him to see if he would fit in the offense? Were there conversations about how the offense could be adapted to fit Fields’ strengths? Or were there no conversations at all?
Just seems like a disconnect between what Nagy wants to do and what Fields is good at.
