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.
