CHICAGO -- It appears the Chicago Bears won't have a shortage of candidates to replace Ron Turner, who was fired as offensive coordinator on Tuesday.

Former Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis is interested in the possibility of coming to Chicago, and he is currently holding off pursuing a similar role with the Kansas City Chiefs because of Tuesday's developments at Halas Hall, according to a source close to the Bears.

Weis was the offensive coordinator for the New England Patriots from 2000-04, playing a role in three Super Bowl championships. He also was the offensive coordinator for the New York Jets from 1997-99.

Weis was fired as Notre Dame's head coach on Nov. 30 after a five-year record of 35-27.

Former St. Louis Rams head coach Mike Martz also said he "absolutely" would be interested in replacing Turner.

Bears quarterback Jay Cutler is believed to be lobbying hard for ex-Denver Broncos quarterbacks coach Jeremy Bates, who spent last season calling plays for USC.

I think Martz is lobbying for this job.

Oh shit it was in the article and I didn't even read it.

Weis and Crennel are both playing the Chiefs for more money.

Assholes. ROFL

Positioning for more money. Everbody knows the Chiefs have the best available opening.

honestly, I don't care if we sign either one of these turds.

I honestly am wondering if either one of them want to work in KC. Maybe they'd just truly rather work anywhere else.

posturing

Martz would be interesting....

fine, ****'em.

I'm with that. But I'd be concerned about what it meant in terms of Pioli's relationships with his employees.

Who wouldn't want to work for Todd Haley?

Just be prepared that when either (or both) Weiss or Crennel end up with other team(s) the Chiefs will say that they never pursued either one.

Mad Mike could turn Cutler into a fantasy football Juggernaut, the only problem is that Chicago has a few of those pesky players called running backs... they'd have to be axed posthaste.

Mad Mike throws on 4th & inches, bitches.

And then some. How good of a GM are you if you can't get two coordinators that you've worked with in the past to want to come work for you again?

It would, IMO, say a lot about what they think of Haley. :shake:
