Chicago Bears’ head coach John Fox went from a six win debut season in 2015, to a three win season in 2016. This was troubling because at his previous two head coaching stops, his teams each saw an increase in wins the second year. Most expected the same 2nd year bump from Fox’s team, but there was too much inconsistent play in all three phases for that to happen.
Fox’s 2016 Bears’ team did suffer through some key injuries, most notably starting three different quarterbacks, but suspensions to two of the best players on the roster hurt them as well.
