In a day of dramatic change at Halas Hall, the Chicago Bears parted ways with general manager Jerry Angelo and offensive coordinator Mike Martz on Tuesday.

Mike Martz was fired? His contract was up after the conclusion of the '11 season. Oh well, either way, hopefully they bring on an inept offensive coordinator that doesn't assemble a decent OL or scheme.

There really isn't a light at the end of the tunnel.

You just can't make this shit up! The worst unit on their team and the guy gets promoted to second in command.
