'We're not quite there honestly': John Fox's last
John Fox.188
Not long after   John Fox  was asked about  his  faith in Barth  the kicker the Bears selected in September 2016 to replace the franchiseâs all-time leading scorer  Robbie Gould.
âWeâre in a production-based business â  Fox  said  âand thatâs what we get paid to do. Whether itâs win games as the head coach or whether itâs make kicks as a kicker. Weâll evaluate it.â
 Fox   meanwhile  is 12-30 as Bears coach  a three-season struggle that seems likely to soon lead to  his  exit as well.
Thatâs a 31 percent success rate for those into statistical metrics. And if thatâs piled on to  Fox âs .188 winning percentage in division games  his permanent residence in the NFC North basement and the reality that the Bears are now staring at a fourth-straight 10-loss season  itâs easy to understand how this production-based business may come calling for his Halas Hall key card in the next six weeks.
Late Sunday afternoon   Fox  attempted to explain why  his  Bears have had such consistent difficulty succeeding in close games. âWe have lulls â  he  said. âWe have siestas. We just donât do it for 60 minutes.â
Two long  long years ago on Thanksgiving night   Fox  and the Bears seemed to have their wick lit for a franchise-boosting takeoff. They went to Lambeau Field in prime time and snatched a 17-13 upset. But it wasnât just a road win over the rival Packers that had the sense of belief soaring. At the time  it was the Bearsâ fifth win in eight games  a surge that spoke of a team figuring out how to win consistently.
Under  Fox   the Bears have experienced seven losing streaks of three games or longer and have never won three in a row.
