Watching Southern Illinois (my alma mater) take a one-point loss at Illinois State last night reminded me of how I felt after the 2017 Bears’ Week 10 loss to the Packers. Because much like how things appeared to be lined up for those Bears to beat an Aaron Rodgers-less Packers team at Soldier Field, the pieces were said to be in place for my beloved Salukis to make a run at what looked like a wide-open Missouri Valley Conference.
Instead, the Barry Hinson led Salukis reminded me of the John Fox led Bears in that while talented, they’re not prepared to take that next step under current leadership.
When the dust settled in Week 10, we knew the beginning of the end of the Fox era was here and that change needed to happen for this rebuild to get off the ground. As it stands, that’s exactly how I felt after last night’s SIU basketball loss. Now, do the powers that be see what everyone else sees? That remains to be seen.

With Jared Goff and Drew Brees squaring off in the NFC Championship Game, there's a chance Mitchell Trubisky will replace the winner in the Pro Bowl. Trubisky was voted an alternate. Matt Ryan is another alternate option while Russell Wilson has already replaced Rodgers. #DaBears

John Elway's Broncos weren't good past 2 years, but say this about his HC search: There is evidence he interviewed right guys. Of his 5 candidates, 3 got HC coach jobs: Vic Fangio,Brian Flores, Zac Taylor. Mike Munchak is Broncos' O-Line coach; Chuck Pagano is Bears DC. #9sports

This spring: Chicago Bears Centennial Scrapbook, a project the great Don Pierson & I have been working on for a couple of years. You might think you know it all about the Bears, but we have plenty of new material, some of it coming from hours of interviews with Virginia McCaskey. pic.twitter.com/DwnJBNKpcL
