Despite being blown out in the last three games by a combined score of 133-51, the Chicago Bears will not be making any coaching changes—for now, at least.
Head coach Marc Trestman took to the podium Monday at Halas Hall as he regularly does, offering few solutions for the team’s poor play, which he also regularly does.
Fans and media members alike have called for jobs to be lost after Sunday night’s debacle in Green Bay coming off the bye week.
Those who want change likely are disappointed that no changes will be made at this time. But there is a silver lining, if that’s what you’d like to call it.
Trestman did suggest there could be some changes on the depth chart, via ChicagoBears.com:
We’re going to talk, we’re certainly going to talk personnel as I said. The guys are getting in late, they’re still looking at the tape. I haven’t had a chance to even engage them because things have moved so quickly this morning. But we will, we certainly have to. We’re going to look at everything as a starting point moving into Wednesday.
It might not be the changes the masses were calling for, but it’s certainly a step in the right direction.
General manager Phil Emery and Trestman didn’t waste much time, either. Veteran wide receiver Santonio Holmes was waived Tuesday, the team announced. Holmes’ release likely means that fellow wideout Marquess Wilson is ready to return to the field after fracturing his collarbone during training camp.
“He worked hard and got a lot of work (last) week,” wide receivers coach Mike Groh said, via Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune. “He looked good.”
While the transaction hardly moves the needle, at least someone at Halas Hall is thinking forward. The Bears will not be able to salvage the season unless some messages are sent. With that in mind, here are a few suggested moves the Bears could make.
