Though the McCaskeys and fans might not be in accordance, it sounds as though Bears players will miss their departing coach.

Despite a disappointing 14-34 record in three seasons, John Fox left with the support of several players.

After Sunday’s season-ending 23-10 loss to the Vikings, Prince Amukamara, Kendall Wright and Akiem Hicks fully endorsed Fox, whose future was still in doubt.

When word spread Monday morning about Fox’s firing, some players took to social media to offer their thoughts.
