Source: Weis intrigued by Bears job
http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/nf...ory?id=4799863
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. ESPNChicago.com Bears blog The latest news from Bears beat reporter Jeff Dickerson. Blog 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. |

It has nothing to do with catching passes. It has to do with Forte getting yards after contact.

You don't gain over 1200 yards rushing, averaging 4 a pop with 8 TD's and just be an average back. |

It probably doesn't help that the Bears are under this illusion that Devin Hester can play WR.

What I meant is that in '08, he wasn't making remarkable runs, shedding lots of tacklers, making people miss. In other words, being the Jamaal Charles we saw for the last half of this year. I saw a solid, versatile back in Forte. |

Before I even mentioned Jay Cutler, I would take: Drew Brees Peyton Manning Philip Rivers Donovan McNabb Aaron Rodgers Tom Brady Tony Romo Matt Ryan Kurt Warner Ben Roethlisburger Eli Manning Matt Schaub Brett Favre Joe Flacco Carson Palmer

Devin Hester can be a nice gimmick player on offense, get him a screen, swing him out of the backfield.
Starting WR, no. |

Their line got worse, they added a better QB.
I don't think Forte is much different of a player I think the things around him changed. |

But Cutler's a shitbag, so he doesn't get that excuse, even though he's never thrown for less than 3500 yards as a starter, has never thrown more INT's than TD's and has a career 62% completion percentage. And he's only a 3rd year starter. God forbid he hasn't won a playoff game in 3 years. If Matt Cassel threw for 4500 yards, a 62.3% completion percentage, 25 TD's and 18 INT's - I'd cream my ****ing shorts. But the guy that did that is a shitbag. |

When I saw the Bears this year (appoximately 3-4 games), it just seemed like Forte was an after-thought. Obviously this perception was NOT accurate with respect to his role in the passing game. |
