Coach Returning
Lovie Smith appears to be returning to the Bears next season. This was going to be a great year for them but it didn’t work out this year. There had been a lot of discussion that Smith would be sent away at the end of the season due to the 3 years of missing the playoffs. But with some hope being shown at the end of the season, with a shock win over the Vikings and a good strong Lions win. This gives us some good division wins. We know that the Bears have been able to take the Packers down in the past. It’s problematic what the Bears have been able to accomplish this year, with a 7-9 record. But Jerry Angelo has been looking around at the players and the coaches and there will be some big changes to some level of staff next season. This doesn’t include the firing of Lovie Smith. There will be strings attached, possibly a playoffs-or-else option. An interesting press conference is scheduled for this afternoon so be ready for anything.
