The problem wasn't firing Lovie. The first problem was firing Angelo and not allowing any prospective GM to hire their own coach right off the bat, thereby leaving the Bears stuck with a pool of undesirable candidates and ultimately Emery. And the second problem was the next season after the Bears did fire Lovie, they had the best head coaching job in the league and ended up choosing a CFL coach who no other team besides Cleveland was even considering. Don't forget how the Arians deal fell through because the Bears wanted him to keep Lovie's staff, he didn't want to, and then Lovie's staff left anyway.

I thought Smith got a bit of bad rap from fans during his tenure, but it was time for him to go and it would be a mistake to focus on his departure instead of the series of far greater missteps since that time. Saying it was wrong to fire him is only slightly less silly than saying the Titans should have never fired Jeff Fisher just because they haven't made the playoffs since.

I liked Lovie and defended him on here numerous times but the one thing that bothered me is every time they showed him during the game,he never seemed to be doing anything. No talking to the players,no talking in his headset,no looking down at a playcard,nothing. Anyone else get that impression of him?

The Grossman/Orton era was really good. He was yet another person sunk by Cutler both in Denver and Chicago. I have no doubt a bunch of Fox executives will be fired soon.

I'll take your changing of the argument to this from "never won shit here" as an apology.

Also, Lovie is 2 games over break even in his NFL career so he has a winning NFL record overall despite a dreadful year in Tampa. And again, that was his first year taking over a terrible team.
