Quote:

The epitaph for Lovie Smith's tenure as head coach of the Bears could read, "He couldn't fix the offense."

For all the good things Smith did in his nine years in Chicago, his undoing was his inability to take care of the side of the ball in which he had no background.

The Bears fired Smith on Monday after a 10-6 season, Tribune sources have confirmed. They started 7-1 but fell apart down the stretch, mostly because they couldn't score.

Zaidman sounds like he's going to cry.

Wouldn't it just be so Bears, though, if he didn't get fired after all?

If you slow it down and play it backwards: "I buried Lovie"

nice stat:
Since Smith took over in 2004, the Bears have ranked higher than 23rd in offense only once.

He was a great coach, probably one of the best in NFL history. Great game manager, offensively smart, great with the clock and the players "played hard" for him.

He will be missed.

The D would show up when Lovie was backed into a corner. His D played O. Which s good, considering.

Now, on to the replacement. I know its silly, but you have two head coaches roaming around as coordinators. Do they get a serious shot? How about Taub?
