Im not a guy who thinks Greg is the long term answer , but now is a bad time to replace him with no president or AD and our best class signing paperwork next week.

Valid points but the Rutgers team is coasting into the bowl season. Perfect time for the Bears to buyout his contract a la the 2012 Buccaneers

Unbelievale that any pro team would want him. Ridiculous. He already failed badly in the NFL.
He had 2 yrs. Not sure anyone can turn the bucs around in that short period. Look at the guy they replaced him with. Bucs is a terrible organization at that time. I think the bears are in that same boat. They missed out on Jim Harbaugh.

The Ohio State superstar DBs did not want to be controlled by an assignment D coach.

The NFL players in Tampa did not want to be treated like players who needed to show some discipline (which is why the owners hired Schiano.. they wanted a culture change).

The "star" QB's clique of offensive players rebelled at seeing their QB replaced

Josh Freeman
Career NFL statistics
TD–INT: 81–68
Passing yards: 13,873
Passer rating: 77.6
Rushing yards: 946
Rushing touchdowns: 4

The NFL media in Tampa did not want their access to NFL players interfered with.

Tampa did not see success until they got GOAT Tom Brady who could demand discipline from the team and they listened. If the media had supported Schiano by telling the truth that the team needed some discipline and professionalism instilled in it... then Schiano would have had a chance at success.

...so, no, Schiano is not a candidate in Chicago. Most NFL players have been treated like superstars their entire lives.. phenomenal athletes.. catered to. That's not Schiano. In the olden days before free agency coaches could demand discipline. No more. And NIL is making it worse. The best hope for any team is to have a superstar team leader and team captains who have earned respect demand discipline and professionalism from the players.

THEN AGAIN.. Schiano was a young assistant in Chicago in 96-97 and was promoted to DB coach before he moved to #1 U Miami as DC. Maybe there is some prior relationship there? Meh.. the Dave Wannstadt years for the Bears were not good one.

Any actual consideration of this rumor would look into whether Kevin Warren and Ryan Poles have ever said anything specific about GS over the years.

Kevin Warren is a B1G guy and a Schiano fan. Most of college football loves him. Except for the kids in Happy Valley Pennsylvania (the victims of Sandusky that he failed to protect)

Also makes sense why Franklin is not being considered.
 
Fake news. I got my mini-MBA from Rutgers. All of us in NJ, NYC, Philly, Maryland, and Delaware wanted you guys and Maryland.

Bullshit. I've been moderating this board and the 247 board since before our invite in 2012. The nastiest flack we've received over the years has been from online NW fans.
