Next season the Chicago Bears will be working with the 15th head coach for the organization. John Fox was selected from a pool of head coaches that lost their jobs this season and it looks like he is ready to coach the Chicago Bears. Other than being the 15th coach in a long line of winners, John Fox is also the first head coach for the team that has experience as a head coach on another team.
John Fox was hired just eight days after Ryan Pace was named as the new general manager of the team. He is reportedly looking “forward to the challenge” and also offered some details behind a new road map that he has drawn up for the team. According to one online source, John Fox and the Pace family are getting along just fine and that is all part of the relationship as a team he says. Fox said that he did not care how old Pace was and that he did know that he was honest and he is excited to work with him.
When asked about Jay Cutler, John Fox said that he was excited to learn more about the guy and was even getting text messages from Cutler welcoming him to Chicago. Jay Cutler has seen better days, but as a quarterback he can be a lot to handle. That is one thing that the other coaches might not have been able to do. John Fox is looking to change that and he is already claiming that they will be winning, stating that “this game is only fun when you win.”
John Fox left the Denver Broncos mutually according to what he says. He still has plenty of feelings for those guys and had a very good run for the last four years. He is going to have a tough battle in the NFC Central division and he claims that he is aware of the rivalries and is ready for them. Fox claims to be honest, brutally honest at that and admits that it does not always work for the best.
On top of being removed from the Broncos and moved right into the head coaching job in Chicago, John Fox says that he would love for the Bears to mend fences with Brian Urlacher. John Fox knows him and he said that Pace and him are excited to meet up with him and “make things right.”
