That’s fair. There’s definitely no Monty or Cuonzo seemingly on the horizon. Legans is gonna have to show more than middling, mid-Major success with the same nucleus of players he inherited from his previous boss, however. And while some may harbor no ill feelings towards Shantay, plenty I’ve talked to remain creased and are not fans. But you’re right...the Bears don’t have a ton of options, and many don’t have much faith in Knowlton.

It was always Gates. That’s gonna be the one that got away. Theo was another possibility, but alas...Wyking.
