Oh, Mr. Fox


John Fox was a miserable coach of the Bears, never more so with his spotty use of talented rookie running back/receiver Tarik Cohen last season.  Fox tried to explain his “thinking” this way:  “Sometimes, the defense dictates who gets the ball.”  That, folks, is a textbook example of defeatism.

Thankfully, Fox’s replacement doesn’t look to be having any of it.  On Sunday, new coach Matt Nagy found a way for Cohen to play often enough against the Buccaneers to gain 53 yards rushing on 13 carries and 121 yards receiving on seven catches.

John Fox now works as analyst for ESPN.  How about someone over there asking the ex-coach about Nagy’s use of Cohen?  That would be delightful, seeing Fox turn all blue and sputter gibberish just like he did after a loss with the Bears.
