Bears

Interesting enough during the decade ending with the 23-24 NFL season, the average head coaching tenure was 3.2 years with 5 coaches having been at the helm for at least 10 season. Among all HCs, average age was 43.

John, you are absolutely, certainly and unequivocally correct. And I felt very strange writing that. For me, the organization is of far more concern than the guy they just hired.

But, none of the head coaches they hired in the past 10 years have been able to secure another head coaching job in the NFL since leaving the Bears. That says something. Marc Trestman did secure another head coaching job...but that was back in the CFL. Where he won his 3rd Grey Cup. So, there's that. LOL!

Bears fired HC in season for first time ever.
Bears spent what was needed to get their guy and consensus top candidate on market.
Bears were lauded for their process in Johnson hiring.

While this doesn't mean the Org is fixed but it does show they have done things differently this time around. I think that is a start to them understanding how a successful org operates. Now we wait to see if it works out.

To me, I appreciate someone who can correct action...even if it took far too long. I would also add to the list the firing of Waldron.

With all of that being said, we could still see an absolute clown show continuation going forward. I'll try and be cautiously optimistic though. we shall see how the draft goes!

To me it's just lazy to just point out past failed hires when this time around it was actually different. Each situation/hire is different even in the same org. Don't get me wrong, having some hesitation is expected but I am sick of hearing about Nagy/Flus/Trestman/etc.

etc = Fox, Jauron, Armstrong, Pardee, Gibron. Quite the stellar cast.

Just by dumb luck the McCaskey's are bound to get it right at some point.
