Quote:So are you saying all that is enough to call it a bad hire?? If I recall correctly the Bears averaged like 8 wins both of those years. There is really nothing out there to discredit Babich of yet. Especially when we all know Gus has say in our D.

 

It sounds like you like "name" coaches for the sake of them being names. When in actuality they are living on what their name once was and not what it is today.

 

 

Babich was a luke warm (not good) DC in Chicago and was <i>demoted </i>from the position after two and a partial years.  He's done nothing to impress here, either.  I wasn't a big fan of the Babich hire and I'm still not.  Fisch wasn't a signing I care for either.  With a defensive head coach (let alone a rookie coach) I believe you need an experienced NFL offensive mind (ala Norv Turner for example) to help run that side of the football.  Rookie defensive head coach + rookie NFL OC = struggles.  

 

The full scope of Bradley's initial coordinator hires is still in progress but from day one until now color me unimpressed.  Signing strong coordinators and assistants is extremely important with a coaching hire and I'm not convinced either Babich or Fisch are good enough.  Sadly we're stuck with them for at least one more year.
