Black Monday who's in who's out.

It is now done.

They are also going to ask for pemission to talk with Mike Mularky as OC.  The Bucs did recently ... and were denied.

I'd be good with K.Shanahan - but it sounds like Fox would like to just hand over the O-reins to someone and focus on D & the team overall ... and that he feels that Mularky would be a better fit in that regard (thinking Shanahan might get a little too aggressive without a governor).

They were denied access to Mularky by TN ... as were the Bucs.

ESPN/Chicago is reporting that Vic Fangio has accepted the DC job in Chicago.

I'm so happy ... I hardly care what they do on the offensive side.

Ed Donnatell following Fangio to Chicago as well.

Thanks for the update.  Looking forward to a new era for the Bears, but wonder how long it will take to recover from the damage that's been done.  Hopefully, we see some signs of life next season.

I had to go and say "I hardly care what they do on the offensive side" ... but now they're talking with Charlie Weiss.

I guess if he's contained to the players & philosophy he's directed to use ... his record as a OC only might offer encouragement - and, at this point ... I'm willing to give Fox the benefit of ther doubt in whatever he does.

Gase will interview tomorrow for the second time - first with Pace ... tomorrow with Fox.

...and the plot thickens.

Reports are circulating that Gase has been hired as OC.

All chidery aside, this is a big move for Chi. I don't know about Weiss; but giving a smart coach like Fox some power might lead to a tough team.

That's what I'm hoping for.  It would be good for the whole division.
