While Thomas Dimitroff and company weren’t willing to put an end to the Quinn Era, they were ready to revamp the coaching staff. Enter Dirk Koetter: former Falcons offensive coordinator, former Buccaneers head coach, and current Falcons offensive coordinator. Odds are Koetter takes a more measured approach during his second stint with the Falcons, tempering his pass-happy disposition. And we’ve explaining his hiring from our perspective already. But how did Quinn see it? Why was it a logical move from his vantage point? Quinn addressed these and other questions during the NFL’s spring meetings last month. OK, so Quinn likes his style. We knew that. But how will they work Koetter into the scheme the Falcons installed back when Kyle Shanahan was refusing to run the ball in the Super Bowl running the show? The Falcons refused to let franchise quarterback Matt Ryan dictate how they replaced Steve Sarkisian, but his familiarity with Koetter didn’t hurt. In fact, according to Quinn, it was a shortcut they couldn’t pass up. Aggressive play calling? Check. Willing to leave the current scheme in place? Check. Familiar with the franchise quarterback? Check. As Quinn describes the hiring process, this was a no-brainer. Perhaps you had a different offensive coordinator mind. And to be sure http://www.thebearslockerroom.com/authentic-kyle-fuller-jersey , a healthy skepticism of Koetter isn’t illogical. But it’s now clear why Quinn cast his vote for Koetter. Your thoughts, Falcoholics? The term “window” is overused in professional football analysis. Fans and media wonks like to talk about how teams have a limited amount of time--a season or two--when everything can come together and a team has a shot at winning big. This sort of defies empirical evidence, because if windows are a thing, then the Patriots must have some sort of panoramic view one with a balcony overlooking the ocean.No, the real issue is not that football teams have limited windows, it’s that football GMs limit themselves to a handful of the openings available. The NFL is built sliding-doors style, so that when one window closes another one opens. It takes a real fool not to find new opportunities, and that’s where NFL GMs step in. Mothers, addiction counselors, and marriage therapists all agree: one of the most important skills in life is being able to admit when you were wrong and being able to take steps to fix it. This is a skill that most GMs seem to lack.Pace needs to admit that he was wrong. He needs to admit that after Glennon and Trubisky he has lost all right to claim he knows how to evaluate quarterbacks. With that out of the way, he needs to “retool” the Chicago Bears Womens Bryce Callahan Jersey , not rebuild them. That retooling involves three steps.Step One:Pace needs to accept what the season is going to look like.The Chicago Bears cannot afford to tank, nor can they afford to worry about the first-round pick that they do not have (the one that is going to the Raiders). Just as importantly, they are just good enough that true tanking is impossible. They will likely be mediocre. At best, they might end up 9-7 or 8-8, and something like 7-9 or 6-10 is certainly possible. Bear territory.Matt Nagy should have the Bears try to win every game. However, Ryan Pace needs to have a secondary agenda. Matt Nagy now has eight preseason games of the best possible quality in front of him, and this time is going to play his starters and his backups in a reasonable rotation. Other teams are going to be hungry, plays are going to matter, and if everything goes right the Bears still have a chance to have a winning season, or at least a meaningful season wherein they play spoilers.So, while Nagy focuses on Club Dub or whatever Josh Bellamy Jersey , Pace needs to understand that it’s time for him to be a professional personnel evaluator once more, this time focused on his own team. That leads to the second step.Step Two:Pace has to make decisions on borderline talent.Pace has always insisted on retaining control of the 53-man roster, and so it’s time he ruthlessly uses that control. For example, there are basically two high-investment tight ends on the roster: Adam Shaheen (a second-round pick) and Trey Burton (a $32-million contract). Pace and Nagy need to decide which of them should stay. There are too many inside linebackers and not enough edge rushers. Pace needs to determine which inside linebackers they need and which they can do without, and he needs to let the older players go.
