Everflus gets one more chance, and unless he gets traded in the draft, Fields too.Anyone surprised Bears holding on to coach?

Nothing they do surprises me.Anyone surprised Bears holding on to coach?
2 years of mediocrity(and that's being generous) is not a blip, it was time to move on.NFL does stand for not for long.
Vrabel 41-24 from 2018-21
Vrabel 13-21 2021-23. Gone!
Did he get fired(officially)? So he's getting paid the rest of his contract, I assume he had another 2-3 yrs on his contract, getting paid $8-10 million/yr for doing nothing is rather tempting at his age.Hoodie gone in NE, quite the week for legendary coaches.
Fields is the worst possible QB to have, he has flashes of being avg so it's hard to actually give up on him. If you just look at him as a passer what do you really have - a very bad QB, add in his running and he's "almost ok".So play Fields and not extend him instead of getting what you can for him before whatever trade value he has tumbles?
It was reported that Josh McDaniels entered the VIP gate last Patriot game....at that time it was pretty well known Belichick was
coaching his last game with NE.
You don't think Kraft would welcome McDaniels back as HC, would he?
Great postBelichick without Brady at QB is 81-99, for a .450 win percentage -- including the year with Cassel in for Brady.
Without the fortuity of Brady stepping in in Week 2 of the 2001 season, BB's second year at NE, he very likely would have been subject to the same typical coaching carousel timing. That is, he would have had another few years of mediocre performance before being booted like he was before in Cleveland, after a .450 record over that five years.
Much like his .433 win percentage in NE over the four years after TB left for TB.
Without the GOAT, he very well may have been just a footnote in Wikipedia, rather than a lauded GOAT himself.
I'd look for someone else, and let Belichick be a gruff, rude old man on his own time -- or at least on one of those NFL talking heads shows that I don't watch.

Reasonable but I still believe BeliCheat is/was more than TB.
Seen it too long, seen him take superstars away from the other team, just totally shut down the one man he didn't want to beat him.
I think he still has plenty in him but I do not want him coming in as a GM/HC. We can get guys in the white shirts and ties, stick to the hoodies.
If you do that I think BB can still bring out as much as anyone in a team. Despite Bowles overachieving this year I wouldn't mind BB in Tampa.
Dont forget belechek might have cost his team a super bowl when he sat malcolmb butler to prove that HE was in charge.As a pretty good coach once said, "you are what your record says you are."
Bill Belichick without Tom Brady is a .450 winning percentage head coach.
With all of the "shutting down the other team's best player", with all of the "terrorizing rookie QBs," and with all of the other expressions of the Belichick Mystique built up by all the talking heads over the years, Belichick nonetheless is a .450 winning percentage head coach without Tom Brady.
Without Tom Brady providing the offensive pressure to in turn help his defense by putting opposing offenses in bad game situations, Belichick has been unable to shut down opposing offenses with enough success to do better than a .450 winning percentage.
Without Tom Brady providing the offensive pressure to in turn help his defense by putting opposing rookie quarterbacks in bad game situations, Belichick has been unable to shut down opposing rookie QBs -- like most recently Devito and the Giants -- with enough success to do better than a .450 winning percentage.
And without Tom Brady providing the leadership to get everyone in the organization to drink the Kool-Aid (or more historically accurately, Flavor Aid), Belichick is a .450 winning percentage coach.
"You are what your record says you are."
