After another disappointing football weekend in the city of Chicago, we're once again hearing that old familiar call echoing through the city streets.
FIRE EVERYBODY.
The Bears got rocked again at home against the Cardinals on Sunday, giving up over 40 points for the second time in three weeks, and have now lost three of four. Their lone win being quite possibly the ugliest 24-point victory ever over the woeful Cleveland Browns.
In South Bend the Irish carried on a new tradition by losing to Navy for the second time in three years after previously taking 43 straight from the service academy. The loss leaves the Irish at 6-3 and given that they have a pretty tough schedule to finish the season -- why is it that when Notre Dame's winning against easy opponents nobody shuts up about it yet when their schedule turns out to be tough you don't hear a word? -- with games remaining against Pitt, UConn and Stanford. Two of whom are ranked.
So, in Chicago, when our football teams are struggling our initial reaction is to fire the coach -- it used to be blame the quarterback with the Bears, but that's no longer the problem -- and it's completely understandable in both cases.
What I'm wondering, however, is if it would be worth it.
