If it wasn’t already clear that Bears interim coach Thomas Brown won’t be the Bears permanent head coach, a comment made Thursday by G.M. Ryan Poles makes it crystal clear.
Via ESPN.com, Pole addressed the team’s slow offensive starts during a pregame appearance on ESPN 1000.
“I believe it stems back from training camp,” Poles said. “It’s just some of the things that either weren’t addressed, they weren’t detailed enough, whatever that is.”
Brown was a part of the coaching staff that allowed those issues to emerge and fester. Despite the short-term bump in the offense following the firing of offensive coordinator Shane Waldron, the Bears haven’t done nearly enough.
And now they’ve lost 10 straight games, plunging from 4-2 to 4-12. In nine days, the Bears will officially embark on the effort to find the coach who will finally turn the team around.
