If the Chicago Bears ever want to get out of the stone age of Bedrock when it comes to how they operate as a football team, the time is now. Time for the Bears to make a significant game changer move to change the bad history of what they call the Monsters of the Midway over the last few decades. New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton is stepping away after 15 seasons. If the Bears want to solve a major problem that has haunted this franchise since the 1940’s, Sean Payton is the guy they need to get right now. If the Bears don’t want to see another number one quarterback who they wasted extra draft picks on to acquire and can’t develop him, they need to make a trade and bring Sean Payton home.

The McCaskey family, the owners of the Bears, have had their thumbs up their rears way too long. Enough of the small potato moves that have scorned the Chicago franchise for decades. It’s time to go big and get a guy like Sean Payton who has earned stripes as a head coach in the NFL. Enough of the Matt Nagy’s of the world. Guys like Marc Trestman, John Fox, Lovie Smith, and Dick Jauron. Matt Nagy was going to be this master mind on offensive football like he hiked up the mountains and saw Moses who handed him the tablets of answers. John Fox lost a Superbowl old school guy. Marc Trestman is an absolute train wreck. Lovie Smith is too stubborn to make the changes to keep his team doing well. Loved Dick Jauron; he tried, but he too was in over his head. Bad hires that had no answer to the quarterback problems. Sean Payton knows what a quarterback looks like as he was one in his playing days. Payton knows what an Offensive line needs to do protect his guy behind center. Sean Payton led the Saints to their only Superbowl title in their history, back in 2009. Payton’s regular season record as head coach is 152-89 which is a .631 winning percentage. Matt Nagy’s winning percentage in 4 seasons as the guy is .523. Payton has coached in 17 playoff games, going 9-8 in those.

Sean Payton has plenty of connections to Chicago. Payton is originally from the suburbs of Chicago where he played football locally at Naperville Central. Payton then went on to play college ball at Eastern Illinois where he played the quarterback position. Like Matt Nagy, Payton dabbled in some Arena Football and played behind center in the 50 yard war indoors. Payton played for the Chicago Bruisers and Pittsburgh Gladiators. During the NFL strike year in 1987, Sean Payton started a game behind center for Da Coach Mike Ditka as a replacement player. Payton was not very good but completed 8-23 for 79 yards and an interception against the Saints, a team he would eventually coach. It would be nice to bring a local guy back that could solve all that has gone wrong for the Bears.

Drew Brees was tossed to the curb with an injury by then the San Diego Chargers who drafted Phillip Rivers after the 2005 regular season. In 2006 Sean Payton convinces Brees to come play for the Saints and in 2009 both were celebrating a Superbowl title together. Brees became one of the best quarterbacks of all-time, a for sure Hall of Famer, as only Tom Brady has all those passing records. He’s second on the list to only the GOAT of NFL quarterbacking. Meanwhile Rivers would never even see the Superbowl as a player. Payton has done wonders to Jameis Winston who lead the entire league in interceptions in his last year in a Buccaneers uniform. Winston this season became the Saints starter and before he got hurt, he was not making the mistakes like he did in Tampa Bay. Teddy Bridgewater got the big contract from Carolina who then traded him to Denver last season. Bridgewater did not do well in Denver. When Teddy was in a Saints uniform, it earned him the huge money from his play when he became a free agent.

The Chicago Bulls cleaned house and got rid of all their hot garbage in the front office and coaching staff. Bulls ended up hiring a big name coach like they normally would not do in Billy Donovan. Chicago is thriving on the hard court this season in hoops. Bears fired the idiot Matt Nagy finally as well giving a pink slip to General Manager Ryan Pace who could not hit on a top pick if his life depended on it. Sean Payton would give the Bears a face of their franchise since Mike Ditka was fired. A bona-fide leader since Ditka. Bringing in Sean Payton, he could develop Justin Fields or tell the Bears organization this is a waste of time trying to put a square peg in a round hole. I know Sean Payton can fix the Bears offense. Make it look like the training wheels are off the bicycle for a change. Saints have had some interesting defenses over the years including Bounty-gate, which Greg Williams ran. The last two seasons, the Saints have had some really good defenses. I can’t see Sean Payton taking the Bears job and suddenly seeing the defense turn into what the Trestman-era had. Just awful. Payton always made some good hires to coach that side of the ball. The Bears window right now on defense has closed with aging super stars making way too much money. Maybe Payton can bring back Vic Fangio who is free now because he was fired by the Broncos as their head coach. Why do the McCaskey’s need to hire an consultant? I just gave the Bears the answers they were are looking for. It is that simple go out and trade for Sean Payton and bring him to Chicago. Then by the time the Bears build the new stadium, and move the team to Arlington Heights, they may be king of the NFC North and actually have a rivalry with the nemesis Packers from Green Bay. A rivalry which has been all but one sided for decades. Besides, the name Payton goes well in Chicago. It’s very sweet-like. Bears have done well with a Payton on their roster in the past, which was really sweetness.
