John Fox and Vic Fangio

Have people forgotten that this isn’t the Marc Trestman and Mel Tucker show anymore? Those dark days are long gone. For the first time since Lovie Smith the team has credibility at head coach with John Fox, a man who has already turned around two franchises and taken them to the Super Bowl in his career. He’s joined by defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, a man with decades of experience who has built a top 10 defense for two other teams as well.

These guys are no strangers to the situation before them. The Chicago Bears are a young team that has undergone a major roster transition in the past calendar year. Nothing is going to surprise them in turns of peaks and valleys. It comes down to teaching these players to get better and their track records say plenty about there capacity to do that. It’s okay to have faith the progress will continue in Year 2 of this project.
