OT: Former UM OC Mike DeBord of Chicago Bears not retained by new HC Marc Trestman

Well, lets not create a thread with latent DeBord bashing implications. It wasn't his fault The Bears traded their best TE for no reason what so ever and then didnt sign or draft a U-back. No one could work with what he had the last two years.

This post is much too thoughtful and reasonable.

The Martz Touch...

I hope Chicago's TE squad will be the last thing that Mike Martz gets to turn into crap. So sick of him.

I am sure Mike Martz will infect another team with his Zombie curse soon. What was it, 13 years ago he became famous with the Rams. About half the people who post on this board were trading Pokemon cards then.

I'd rather talk about how Coach Hoke's brother Jon was one of the few coaches who the new HC retained and may be in the running to be the Bears' new DC.

From http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2013-01-17/sports/chi-bears-marc-trestman-mike-tice-20130117_1_head-coach-mike-phair-linebackers-coach:

Another league source told the Tribune every coach on fired head coach Lovie Smith's previous staff has been let go except for defensive backs coach Jon Hoke, who was not in the building when the other coaches found out their fates.

I wonder if Jon Hoke just pulled a Costanza and made sure he wasn't around when the axes fell.

Maybe he'll join Loeffler at VT for Lloydball 2: The Lloydening?

Much rather have him in Detroit since our offense focuses on TEs.

If Da Bears let Jon Hoke go (I hope they do not and name him DC) then Michigan should snatch him up. The guy coached up TWO All-Pros this year in Jennings and Peanut.
