The Chicago Bears have put their disappointing 5-11 2014 season behind them, and the team is heading into the 2015 season with a new mindset.
“You can definitely tell that a lot of the walls that have been built, for whatever reason, in the locker room, have been knocked down,” said Pro Bowl guard Kyle Long last week, per Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times. “It’s kind of an open-air environment for a lot of guys. Between upstairs and downstairs, it’s a great relationship between players, coaches, staff, personnel.”
The Bears revamped their front office with the hiring of Ryan Pace as general manager this offseason, and the first-year GM hired John Fox to be the team’s head coach in January. Fox has 13 years of head-coaching experience, has registered a career record of 126-96 and his teams have appeared in two Super Bowls.
Chicago is now prepared to move forward under Pace and Fox following two disappointing seasons under former general manager Phil Emery and former head coach Marc Trestman.
The Bears open their preseason on August 13 against the Miami Dolphins, and they will kick off the regular season against the Green Bay Packers on September 13 at Soldier Field.
