Rather than sticking to traditional hiring methods, Fishbain suggests the Bears consider trading for a proven leader—a move rarely seen in the NFL but one with transformative potential.
Drawing inspiration from past trades like Sean Payton to the Denver Broncos in 2023 and Bill Belichick to the New England Patriots in 2000, Fishbain asserts, “This is the Chicago Bears—they should be able to go get the coach they want.”

This strategy aligns with team president Kevin Warren’s vision of finding a coach with “extremely high standards, who is tough, demanding, and a championship seeker.”
Fishbain highlights names like Belichick, Kyle Shanahan, and Sean McVay as potential targets, though acquiring such elite talent would require significant trade capital.
“Why not call around to see if any owner is interested in talking about a trade?” Fishbain asks, noting the rare opportunity for the Bears to reshape their future.

While trading for a coach comes with challenges, including the loss of valuable draft picks and negotiating power dynamics, Fishbain believes the bold approach could be the game-changing move Chicago needs.
“To go where you haven’t been, you have to do something you’ve never done,” former Bears Pro Bowler Kyle Long remarked, adding weight to the argument.
