Babich's prior stint was with the Bears in 2004-2012 where he basically had talent popping out of the team's seams and was under a HC that was defensive minded...  

Perhaps he rode more on the coat-tails of the talent on that team as opposed to really learning how to coach a defense...  I'm just saying...  If we're gonna start talking accountability, the coaches need to also be under question after 2 years...

 

 

In Babich’s nine years with Chicago, the Bears linebacker corps was arguably the most productive in the NFL with Lance Briggs (7) and Brian Urlacher (4) combining to make 11 Pro Bowls. Urlacher was named the 2005 NFL Defensive Player of the Year, and in 2007 he became just the third player in franchise history to record five sacks and five interceptions in a single season. Briggs is one of four Bears linebackers to be selected to seven straight Pro Bowls joining Hall of Famers Mike Singletary, Dick Butkus and Bill George. Either Urlacher or Briggs led the Bears in tackles in each of Babich’s nine seasons with the team, Briggs in 2004 (168), 2008 (136), 2009 (147), 2011 (147) and 2012 (128) and Urlacher in 2005 (171), 2006 (185), 2007 (158) and 2010 (146).
