IF COACHING ISNT THE BIGGEST ISSUE PLEASE EXPLAIN THE BEARS

Pretty happy overall with the offensive coaching this season. It's fairly dynamic, inventive, and has helped make a pair of rookies look like seasoned vets and all this with a below average (in talent) o line, and a subpar receiving crew.

However, the defensive coaching is unimaginative and occassionally really timid. Haslett either throws the kitchen sink or goes super passive and doesn't seem to be able to negate any player's strengths. Danny Smith... well, his team will lead the league in blocks again...
 
Interesting that you didn't bump this last season, when the Bears fell from the #9 defense back down to the #17 defense, which is where they were before all those amazing coaching adjustments you talk about in this thread.

His win-loss record as a DC is 54-98. In his 10 seasons (including this one) as DC, his teams have won exactly 1 Division title. That was in 1997 with a Pittsburgh team he inherited and had nothing to do with. They promptly followed that 11-5 season with a 7-9 season, then a 6-10 season, then he was fired.

5 of his 10 seasons, his teams were ranked 21st or worse in defense. 3 times they have ranked 28th or worse. On average, a Jim Haslett defense ranks 19th in the league in total defense.

In other words, he is a worthless bum of a coach who has done nothing but bring failure with him everywhere he goes. The good news is, he leaves winners in his wake.....

When he was fired from the Saints, they had the number 4 defense the following season. When he was fired from the Steelers, they had the number 7 defense the following season. When the Rams fired him, they jumped from 28th in his final season to 14th in the following season.

I've always thought of Haslett as the Norv Turner of defense. You've just confirmed that to be true. He must be the nicest guy in the universe to keep getting work. Sigh.
