When he was originally hired, Chicago Bears head coach John Fox was a symbol of safe stability. He was the experienced guy most assumed a green general manager like Ryan Pace would need at the start of his lead personnel executive career. An option who knew the ins and outs of a successful NFL organization.
Who could theoretically argue with the results of two conference championships with the Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers? Or of a man with a reputation for putting together dynamite coaching staffs as the Bears had in 2015 with offensive coordinator Adam Gase and still current defensive coordinator Vic Fangio?
