As a head coach? Maybe, maybe not...
Buuuuuut Petrino has been hired time and again and he's been thee biggest pile. So I'll go ahead and say you're wrong. He'll have a job.

They went the safe route. Fox is a guy known to have control of his locker room, something which was clearly lacking last season with Trestman. I think he can make the Bears competitive and they've soured on hiring hot shot coordinators because of Trestman/Lovie. I'd have to think handing this mess of a locker room to a rookie HC would be setting them up for failure. Of course Fox has his limitations but has found relative success wherever he's gone. Don't think we could ever make the SB under him but playoffs yes.

Magic once said no team has ever won a championship without making the playoffs
So playoffs are a good step

Vernon was never up for a new deal at all this past off-season. He just held out of training camp wanting a new deal but yes you could say he lost money in the sense that he lost any leverage he had with the crappy year he had.
Karma
- hold out for new deal even though you're being paid well enough for a TE already and end up having the worst year of your career. Wouldn't be surprised if he's a cap casualty since Niners are over the cap this year.

What the Bears needs to be worried about is that QB play from Cutler. Fox conservative so he wont light a fire under Cutler so its probably going to be a repeat with maybe 1-2 more wins and no leadership other than Marshall
@jonwin thanks for that information. I had no idea. I thought he was going to come out and ball to prove to the 49ers instead he was straight bumming it. I couldn't believe it. We might be looking at a washed up Vernon Davis from here on out

If Vernon Davis is cut, 99% chance he ends up in DC.

Fox is a good coach. He had that Denver defense humming before Peyton got there, remember. I know he's a retread but I actually like the hire.

I hope this turns into Tennessee or Tampa doing something dumb like taking Cutler off his hands

Fox is a good coach. He's only bad on NT. But in real life he always has successful teams, and coaches to his players strengths.

I believe so, which would make sense since he's been pegged as the head coach since he was fired from Denver.

NT knows Fox is a good coach, he just can't get over that hump and seems like he never will.
