What is the opinion of him? Seems to have the Bears playing tough and in the correct direction. What’s the book on him and would he be a viable choice going forward. There is mutual like and respect between him and the organization. Is he not signing an extension thinking the Giants might want him? He would check off many of the boxes for the owners. Think it might be a possibility.
In addition, as many have observed, there seems to be a repeating cycle of "players' coaches" and disciplinarians. My guess is the latter is now required (see: OBJ, the CBs).
Successful turn-around coaches seem to burn out quickly (Billy Martin multiple times)
I wouldn't begin to guess how to identify such a talent (like Sean McVay) BEFORE THE FACT.
Would Saban fit that role? He would probably request both HC and GM hats. Give it to him. (He clearly won't be here for 15 years.) Let him turn the franchise back in the right direction. I remember another HC associated with Alabama who turned the reins over to a "Tuna" with satisfactory results.
No, he didn't.

Lol. No he didn't. Someone posted a thread that read something like this one and people thought John Fox signed a deal
Bears agree to 5 year extension with Fox - ( New Window )

Fox, Fox, what's the difference? Ok, thanks.
I'm not sure Fox would be my first choice but we could do much much worse. Fox is a professional head coach. Would bring some stability.
