Paid well to prevent losses as embarrassing as Sunday's, which painted the Bears as unprepared for the Buccaneers as they were overwhelmed, coach John Fox offered honesty that indicts everybody.
"I didn't see it coming," Fox said after a 36-10 defeat at Raymond James Stadium that was as incomprehensible as any he has endured with the Bears.
The eyes can be the first thing to go for a football coach. But worse than Fox not seeing the Bears' abysmal effort coming, nothing that happened in the three-hour snoozefest suggested he knew how to stop it.
Chicago constantly wants to debate quarterback Jay Cutler's future — at this point, it only will be surprising if he remains a Bear in 2017 — but things have deteriorated enough to start discussing Fox's, too.
