Lovie being fired was the right choice at the time, he overstayed and they didn't draft a lot of offensive linemen that were any good. They hired Mark Trestman over Bruce Arians in one of the biggest coaching blunders ever. They let Greg Olson go because apparently you can easily replace a top 5 TE who can block and run good routes. We hired a shitload of OC's that tried to force their systems on players like Mike Martz, leading to Cutlers infamous MNF "Tell him I said fuck him" while they were up like 23-3 on the Vikings. Cutler has always been a great leader. Everyone who played with him has mostly positive things to say. He gets up early and checks on rookies to make sure they're gonna make it to practice. He stays after to help people do film work.
Emery was a fucking disaster when it came to drafting talent, and Pace is no better. Last year we got lucky with our draft. If Trubisky pans out he'll look great because that's how GM's keep jobs in the NFL.
