Awfully quiet around here. We only have a few weeks until spring camp begins! I know, there's little to be optimistic about. For one, we have a megalomaniac, racist, head coach. He is despised by everyone around him. Has Chip lost his job already? He certainly has lost this team. They no longer believe in him. Any reason to be optimistic? I know this Bears fan isn't even looking forward to spring football for the first time in a long, long, time.

yes you did or was this not you "For one, we have a megalomaniac, racist, head coach."
I'm just bringing things up that others have. Chip is really in a world of hurt here. He and his staff DO have integrity issues. One of which is the zero tolerance with language. I recall seeing him get pissed off at one of his players for cursing in practice, and the team had to run extra laps because this kid used a swear word. Five minutes later, I heard some of his staff curse. Then there's the UND game where he totally berated Lobato on the sideline and dropped the F-bomb several times. I know everyone makes mistakes, but you can't ask your players to do something your not willing to do yourself. No wonder they won't play for him. Then there's parents of players and others saying he lied to the players about Joe being fired. Then there's the issue of white kids not playing skill position, etc. No matter who he brings in or recruits, if the players don't believe in him, we won't win again until he's gone. On the surface I like Chip a lot, he's a UNC guy, etc. BUT you can't ignore some of the comments that people make on this board. C'mon, we should be discussing these things as spring camp is just a few weeks away!

I'm lost who is chip and what does megalomaniac mean? Sounds like a transformer! I know I'm just filled with anticipation regarding that highly qualified new OC and OL coaches who knows maybe the little miniature one will even wear his pink coaching under armour on the first day.

A. Chip is Earnest Collins. I was looking at his facebook page and that's his nickname.
B. Megalomaniac is someone who is extremely egotistical.
C. I don't think we have a new OC.

I was under the impression that coach armour was stepping down as oc.
Do I have it wrong ?

Blofeld said:A head football coach with an ego? OMFG stop the presses this is a first!
No, a megalomaniac is someone like Hitler. Bertrand Russle says this about Megalomaniacs
"The megalomaniac differs from the narcissist by the fact that he wishes to be powerful rather than charming, and seeks to be feared rather than loved." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megalomaniac" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
So, does this describe Chip?

It describes hundreds of successful coaches including the coach of the New England Patriots and the New York Giants.
If your issue is that he curses but doesn't let his players curse (I do the same to my children) and a rumor of *gasp* playing black players in skill positions then you obviously have an ax to grind. Get over what happened in the past to coaches you liked and try and support the one we have.

Please include your source, for example, my buddy is friends with the ex-husband of this woman whose roommate works part-time in the athletics laundry and SHE said ... ... that's how you attribute an accusation to the source. Because WHO said it, does tell us a lot about the credibility.
Because YOU personally indicating the coach is racist is a powerful accusation, and you need more to back it up than "that's what I heard." I hear a lot of crap about a lot of people, and I take all that I hear, add it to what I've seen/heard myself and make up my own mind. From what I can see, you prefer to hear some dirty little comment and have it tattooed on your wrist so you can point to it as truth. To quote Adele, just because I said it, don't mean that I meant it.
No. Thanks for asking, though.Beardown said:
Source please. We're barely into spring and you believe the team has lost faith.Beardown said:
Here we go again.
Sorry, but for all your bravado, I doubt you are really a "Bears fan." I don't mean all your posts should be daisies and lemonade, but you just stir stuff up and focus on the worst possible situations.Beardown said:
But, I have optimism. For one thing, we pulled in a TERRIFIC recruiting class. Terrific. Outstanding. Better than we could have expected. Maybe we won't see everything we want to this spring, but I bet by August, we will be looking at a whole different type of football team.

Coach Collins has made nothing but bad decisions since he took over the job. He changed the offense and called it his "new system" which was epic failure. He brought in coaches who have no proven track record and allowed them to make poor decisions. He benched DO to bring on youth and what he thought was a better quarterback, which only proved to be what alot of people thought on here and that is he wasn't better and didn't give the team opportunities to win. The coach and his new system quickly plummeted to the worse team in Div 1 football. This coach has NO system! Systems that are brought in are systems that work.
I have complete faith that his poor decision making will continue. I am looking forward to the official announcement of who his new OC will be. I'm sure he won't let us down on this one. :rofl:

Thank you for bringing everything up again. You must be close to a source as I am. Some people on here must only surround themselves with UNC Admin who are all hail new coach. Collins has made several bad decisions both on and off the field. I will not let go how he has lied to his athletes and then I hear from my son about how the "N" word is not tolerated, which is fine, but then he goes upstairs near the coaches offices and hears his coaches saying the "N" word left and right, what the heck!! I agree it should not be used, but if you are going to have a rule and be very strict by it, then don't use it.
I honestly feel if they would have given Downing another year or two the team would have been great. Downing's last year so many of the games they lost were only lost by a few points, they were so close. Maybe Downing may not have been the perfect coach, but he was still working on getting better and better assistant coaches and he had his team's respect!

As unpopular as it may be.....with all the criticism heaped on him, I agree with your statement regarding Coach Downing. As I have posted previously, character is a huge missing ingredient in this program right now.
I guess the saying is true.....you dont know what you' ve got till it's gone. Out durex no good to put out"what ifs" at this point in time, but Jay s name is exclusively on this hire. As I have said before, this staff does less coaching, and moire pointless belittling of players....thats a big sign of inexperience.
O think we really missed the boat on some potential hires......but itt is what it is'..we need to be supportive at this point. I firmly believe that this staff, and a group of seniors recruited by Downing . Lets face it..... Players play despite inerrpt coaching. I just hope this group pf coaches of able to overcome their ignorance and stupidity. And by that I refer to their handling of kids. As I said in another post, before the CSU game lady season, collins talked about playing"mind games" with the players.
It's time to knock that shit off and coach. Leadership comes from the front of the pack
All that being said, go bears outplay the pathetic bs that the coaches are laying down.

Place is a revolving door at this point, toxic situation. Kay Daltons been in the building tutoring the offensive "coaches" some new d-line assistant who was a previous volunteer and a first year GA is in one of the most if not the most important positions on the field in OL. Im sure Jay loves seeing his previously excused coach come back only to educate the current Jay hires on payroll. Just gets better and better! Fortunately for these guys they have some talent from previously recruited years and did last year as well better than 0-11 talent for sure. I dont know if they heard me ZERO WINS... :nod: these guys come in who are new faces to kids who are tired of loosing after being close to winning big and having coach after coach after coach with some new BS approach. When does the maddness end?!! AND you have to deal with the "can I trust you" BS and oh ya do terrific in school, sheesh! Then you got the little miniture one running around the sideline in his pink under armour messing up the signals but wants to look important - its embarassing to see that shit on TV man, im embarassed for the kids and for Collins cause I think hes trying. Grables been there forever I cant imagine what he thinks,lol. Anyway it is what it is lets see the players loose a couple and get tossed under the proverbial bus and the "lack of talent" "non buying in" excuses flow.

That's Terrance Robinson (the short one, wearing pink). I believe he was wearing that because it was breast-cancer awareness. I don't mind it if the offensive coaches are being tutored. I'm sure that happens in a lot of programs. It is ironic that Dalton is doing it though. Does he even talk to Hinrichs? How do you know all this info Klondike?
I do agree that this is one of the most talented teams the Bears have had in recent years and anything less than a winning season will be a disappointment. If that doesn't happen, Collins should be out.
