[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 1049233, member: 17953"] Sometimes it's not being a fan of the team that works best. It takes someone who creates a culture within the framework of the team as it's supposed to exist, within it's own specific time frame. You can use traditions to fuel the fan base, and a few that will be part of your own era, but you need to be capable of actually becoming a cruel master of the art of team creation to head a program like this. Being a nice guy, or fan friendly, only works for a facade. Underneath, you need to be more results oriented than family oriented. We've gone through this ourselves, in Green Bay. It was evident as we waffled on cutting ties with both Favre and Rodgers. It wasn't clean, because there was this inner need to act like "family." In Chicago, it's always the coaching staff that's a problem, if you listen to the front office. It's never management's fault, because they've gone out and got the right players to do the job. If you look at the QBs who were under center for the Bears over the last 20 years, count the number of new head coaches and coordinators they played under, and how many different "systems" they had to adjust to learn, and execute. No continuity whatsoever, and to fix the problem, the front office fires the staff, and starts all over, and creates a different set of problems, which are still the same old problems, painted a different color. Either the family sells, or they turn the whole thing over to an agency that can find the right person to run the entire program, and let that person stock the shelves from the top on down, and make the team in the image he sees necessary. We found that with Ron Wolf, but the Bears are still searching to get there. It took a major change in the board, to get Wolf on board. We'd gone through a dry spell that was caused by too much "family" in the system. [/QUOTE]
