Minutes after winning his second game of the year, John Fox denied an NFL Network report Sunday that the organization was examining the football operation — and the Bears coach — with the help of a consultant.
“There’s a lot of reports — I’ve dealt with reports for some time now,” he said late Monday night, after the Bears’ 20-10 win against the Vikings at Soldier Field. “But when you’re 1-6 that’s what you expect. I think that’s part of the business.
“And this is a tough profession, it can be. But everybody’s compensated well, we all sign up for it, we get it. But I can tell you there’s no truth to that.”
Fox, who along with GM Ryan Pace is in the second year of a four-year contract, said the members of the team were in lockstep.
“This is as unified of an organization and a football team as I’ve ever been associated with,” Fox said. “The ‘National Enquirer’ has a lot of reports, too.”
