last year with a new GM would have made more sense coming off a poor season (though Cutler's injury was the main issue). It would have been an overall fresh start. Here we have a team that seems like it's on the verge of winning big. A new O cooridinator and a couple of offensive linemen in the offseason and they're very dangerous. It seems like a weird time to blow it up. And I still don't understand why they're apparently not looking at their own guy Dave Taub instead of some of the outsiders they're looking at for the job.

He had one year left on his contract right? I don't see why you don't do the OL upgrade and give it one. Esp with aging DEF -- nm - oblique2013 Jan 3, 11:26 2
- Completely agree. It's just not unusual for a new GM to want to choose his own coach. Which is why it would have made more sense last year. - pmb Jan 3, 11:31 1
  - exact;y it. He was unliked by most fans because he was so low key. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 3, 11:32
