So the Bears have collected themselves quite the cast of coordinators, Vic Angio formerly of the 49ers and Adam Gase formerly with John Fox in Denver as well as  Special Teams coach Joe Decamillis also with Fox in Denver. Each one of them capable of heading a team. GM Ryan Pace has certainly made a splash that has me excited for the NFL draft in April. I might be in the minority that says the Bears are talented enough to win with some additions for depth which broke us down the last two seasons with major injuries.

With a pedigree for defense past coordinators/coaches have tended to over think it. Ron Rivera and Rod Marinelli were the best to come out of the Lovie Smith era and it's a shame they are no longer in Chicago. The Bears blitzkrieg installed during the Ditka days was a killer. Get to the quarterback and set the field position for the offense to take advantage.

We've got a coaching staff that puts Chicago at the center of the football world withe The Chicago Cubs and White Sox ready to compete in 2015 as the Bulls and Blackhawks have been in their respective sports. Without  being such a homer Chicago is the sports capitol of the country right now even as Seattle and New England get ready to play in the Super Bowl. One of the originals in every sport. History oozing from every pore. Characters to no end.  Which is why it's such a big deal that the Bears have collected such a cast of coaches who have opportunities elsewhere and decided to come here.

If this team wins one SuperBowl fresh off the success of any of the teams previously mentioned my point will have been proven. While I'm sure every one of these individuals probably simply said "beat Green Bay" and they were hired I believe the team to Beat is New England. I screamed  for years Tom Brady was just a system quarterback. If the system works why break it? With all of the pomp and circumstance of the ever changing coaching staffs Chicago tends to choke on expectations. But teams have still proven you win best when they don't see you coming.
