Happy New Year, everyone. Welcome inside our Bears Talk podcast, the postgame edition, after a 38 to 10 season ending loss for the Bears.

In Minnesota, against the Vikings, they finished 3 and 13, their worst 16 game finish in franchise history.

I'm here with the former Bears who are on one of those four and 12 teams, unfortunately back in 2002, Alex

Brown and Jim Miller. And John Fox, his coaching staff, got some praise up through week 14,

week 15 for the way this team was approaching business, even though the season was lost

as a whole for several weeks leading up to that.

But in the last couple of weeks, they've been outscored by 48 points.

How much of that concerns you as we enter the offseason in terms of how closely we should examine who's in charge and how they're getting things done here.

Well, I think, you know, they've given their plan to the McCaskies and how they want to

approach that. I think everybody understood what they were getting into and that it was going to

be a complete overall. I think it, they almost underestimated how much of an overhaul this was

going to be. I personally think Coach Fox is safe.

You know, there may be some changes done to the staff, but I think the approach is going to be the same.

Get guys healthy, get more talent on this team, and then come back and see if you take another step forward next year.

I don't know. If you're going to, if you're going to, if the whole, I guess if the thought process is to bring

in a young quarterback, who's going to lead that quarter?

Is that going to be Dow Loggins?

Is that going to be him?

Will Fox be here?

If we're just looking at the next year, then, well, Fox, yeah, leave him here.

But if this is a long-term plan, is Fox the guy to lead this team into when they're good

again, when they're three, four years down the row, when they're good again, is he the guy?
