They actually fired Lovie, you've been wanting this to happen for so long

Quote:

Missing the playoffs for the second straight year has cost Bears coach Lovie Smith his job.

The Bears have fired Smith this morning, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. The move comes a day after the team finished its second consecutive season out of the playoffs.

Although the Bears won their final two games to finish 10-6 and remain until playoff contention until Sunday afternoon, the Vikings beating the Packers to take the final wild card spot sealed Smith’s fate.

Smith made the playoffs three times and reached the Super Bowl once in Chicago, but he missed the playoffs in five of his last six seasons, and as a result he will not be back. Chicago will look for a new coach, and Smith will look for a new job.

I've been waiting too... I'd love to see him in Tampa as a D-Co...

Every year the NFL changes rules to the detriment of the defensive game. They want 70+ points a game, so the Defensive-minded are likely to go the way of the Dodo bird, as far as being head coaches.

Smith should have been tossed after 2009.

I heard part of the live interview with our new coach. It reminded me of an azz kissing contest.

With that said and the CFL having a 110yd field and only 3 downs Trestman should be a good addition to our anemic offense...I hope.

I still have no idea who the heck it is they hired

Ms you should take note... Trestman is a QB guru who mentored Russel Wilson... He's one of the most saught after QB coaches in the game on either side of the boarder. I would also expect the Bears to pick up a rookie QB this year... Just sayin'
