Take it easy and please help keep the board organized by posting in the right threads.

It seems like the new regime gaffed the urlacher situation. Oh we like urlacher , bam slap in the face deal.

There's a thread on that. I happen to think it was a market value deal though. If that's a slap in the face, it is what it is. The Bears don't have the cap space to hand out sweetheart "Hey, thanks for the memories" deals right now. And Urlacher had no issues putting Angelo's giblets in the fire to get a raise when he had several years remaining on his contract in the past. It's always been business first for him, now he wants to get a bunch of sand in his lady bits when the Bears act the same? Sorry sir, not buying it.

Angelo deserved. He built teams with no talent, hoard cap room so the players wanna make claim to it. Urlacher, briggs, hester, forte all have done it.

Angelo built a team that went to the Super Bowl and an NFL championship. That's not a team with no talent. I had my (significant) issues with some of the things he did/didn't do. But to claim that he built teams with no talent borders on the absurd.

Jim Harbaugh Says Marc Trestman Taught Him Everything He Knows

So we know Marc Trestman's a quarterback guru, we know he's won two Grey Cups in the CFL, we know he loves ball, and we at least think he knows football. At least one guy "knows" Trestman knows football. To be fair, that "one guy" made it to the Super Bowl last year.

"Everything wouldn't be an overstatement," [San Francisco 49ers Head Coach Jim] Harbaugh said. "We use his system still of calling plays and the way he taught us those concepts and techniques. I've used [those] since I coached with the Raiders, the University of San Diego, Stanford and the 49ers."

...

"Absolutely. Grand slam. That was a grand slam hire. You see the coaches that Marc has put around him, they know football. He knows football."

Yep. That's 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh delivering high praise for the Bears' head coaching hire in a radio appearance on Friday.

"He will do great and talk about long overdue. Marc Trestman becoming a head coach is well deserved, he will do a phenomenal job."

Of course, we won't know how it actually looks on the field until training camp starts in exactly two freaking months. But enjoy the offseason optimism.

He's starting to look more and more like a guy that comes out of nowhere and becomes one of the best.

Trestman has sounded like the offensive-minded football version of Thibs. Which is what pretty much everybody wanted. But only time will tell.

My bad on the Urlacher thing.

Emery and Trestman are determined to be on the cutting edge:

Chicago Bears Add Another Member To The Geek Squad
Jun 19th, 2013 at 10:47 pm by BoomerBears


The Chicago Bears added a new member to their very own Geek Squad, another cast member to their Revenge of the Nerds. Phil Emery hired Mitchell Tanney, former product manager at STATS Inc., to serve as the Bears’ director of analytics.

We knew Phil Emery was a nerd at heart, a stats geek with a high regard for metrics and measurables. In his season ending press conference, Emery broke down offensive line statistics and cited STATS and ProFootball Focus in his breakdowns.

Here’s what Phil Emery said of the newly created position:
“We needed somebody with an expertise in filtering through subsets of data to make sense of them in terms of which pieces are important and which pieces can be put together to give a clearer picture of projecting performance, whether it’s on the field in situational football or in scouting projecting players moving forward,” said general manager Phil Emery.

So Tanney will be solving math problems all day long to figure out the chances of a Jay Cutler interception on 3rd and 12 while protecting a 4-point lead at the end of the half. You don’t need to be a stats geek to figure this one out.

Kidding aside, it’s a nice tool that the Bears should use to at least arm Marc Trestman and the coaching staff with more information as they prepare game plans and on game days. When you consider the millions the team will spend on useless players, the money on Tanney will be well spent. Fewer than ten NFL teams have a full time employee working strictly on analytics.

The Chicago Bears have hired Mitchell Tanney as director of analytics.

Tanney will help advance the team’s analytical capabilities by developing additional techniques to identify, extract and analyze data to support decisions throughout the football operations department. His two primary research areas to enhance the Bears analytical capacities will be in player evaluation concepts and game situation principles.

I feel analytics are important in baseball.
