I don't think there's any question that mistakes were made.  The question is
whether he should be fired for making them a year after doing everything
right.

I think you gotta cut the guy some slack, Jerry.  If they look like they did
at times next year, then I say go for it.  But in fairness I don't think the
Bears (or anyone) should be that quick to bring the hammer down.
