Chicago Bears fire David Walker as RB coach

[sufandu]

He appeared in 44 games and caught 44 catches. A true orangemen.

 

[Toga]

An all-time favorite.

 

[SU94]

An all-time favorite.

For those too young to know, David Walker, at the point of contact, was about as good as it gets with the spin move. If he did not break free from the tackle, he would add 2-3 extra yards to the run. Wildly productive.

He was my good friend's next door neighbor back when he was on the SU coaching staff. Really nice guy, glad to see he's still kicking around the NFL.

 

[Whitey23]

He's been out of the league for 3 years. Has been running clinics among other things.

 

[RF2044]

Wow!

 

[All4SU]

Glad for Walker. A great SU RB.

 

[money3189]

He's been a great mentor to me. I figured he would go back to the NFL after his sons finished HS.

That's usually not a good thing if HR is involved.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Sure.

Fire Walker AFTER D'Onte Foreman tags my fantasy team for 31.5 points the other week.

 

[Whitey23]

Not just fired, fired and HR was involved.

Not just fired, fired and HR was involved.

Yep. There are things we aren't hearing about (yet).

If the words "firing" and "HR" are in the same sentence, nothing good is going to come out later.

[Chip]

Sure.

I faced him this past week. I was pleased with his lack of results.

My Bears are a complete crap show. Thought the new GM and coach would put things in the right direction but it’s just more of the same. Many parallels over the last 20 years between the Bears and SU and I’m stuck with both.

 

[oldpinepoint]

Well technically whenever someone is fired HR is involved however this doesn’t sound good

 

[orangenauburn]

Someone will pick him up next year

 

[SuFTW]

Someone will pick him up next year

Not likely.

If he wanted to I am sure some college coach would bring him on

Hell Saban might bring him on as a run game analyst or some sort of role like that.

Plenty of coaches have done crazy stuff and bounced back

Depends on what the behavior was. Why risk your own job or the bad PR if he screws up again or word leaks out about what his behavior was. People generally want to hire the lowest risk.

Maybe eventually.

Hopefully this is not as bad as the Rob Murphy dismissal in Detroit.
It's a shame I worked w the father of the Bears GM and the brother in law of Walker.

Just when Wildhack was going to hire him because he's an SU alum... he blew it
