Wow ... wow ... the coaching situation is so bleak that Norval is getting a third shot and the Bears can't come to terms with Lovie? That is incredibly dumb

Might they be leaving the door open for Mike Singletary or Ron Rivera?
Back and better than ever!

Rivera is gone. And overrated (see the Colts one-sided Superbowl win for proof).

The Bears are the Anti-Danny when it comes to parting with money is what it boils down to. Lovie deserves a pay hike though so they better do the right thing by him.
It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom – for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

If the bears do not sign Lovie, the will be known as the worst front office in football. He is a great coach and deserves the big pay day.

I am confused. is this supposed to be bad or good? :hmm:

Q: If Da Bears FO does not spend the money and they lose, What are they?

A: Stingy. OK, i'll take it.

Q; If the Redskins FO does spend tons of money and they lose, What are they?

A: Stupid? :hmm:

Rivera is a good coach. How can you blame Rivera for Rex Grossman. Once again how can u blame Rivera for Rex Grossman. Again how can u blame Rivera for Rex Grossman. I hope I got my point across.

Yep, I *think* i get what you are trying to say...

Rivera, however, was responsible for the D's anaemic performance in the SB and also their dreadful coverage of Steve Smith when we got blasted from the playoff's by the Panthers the previous year.

BTW, I don't blame Rex. Yet. He has to be more consistant next season though. Remember, this was basically his first full season as a starter.

Bears coach Smith, GM Angelo sign extensions

NFL.com wire reports

LAKE FOREST, Ill. (Feb. 28, 2007) -- The Chicago Bears signed coach Lovie Smith to a four-year contract extension through the 2011 season.

They also announced they signed general manager Jerry Angelo to a contract extension through the 2013 season.

The team will hold a news conference March 1.

Smith, the 2005 NFL coach of the year, led the Bears to a 15-4 record and their first NFC championship in more than two decades last season before they lost 29-17 to Indianapolis in the Super Bowl.

He had had one year remaining on his initial four-year deal.

The new deal comes one week after Smith's agent said the two sides were so far apart that he expected Smith to leave after the 2007 season.

"We're not close, we're not encouraged and based on where talks have gone recently, Lovie will be a free agent after next season," Frank Bauer said at the time. "It would take an unforeseen breakthrough for this to get done. And we are being more than reasonable in the market."

Smith met with team president Ted Phillips. The signing of Angelo and Smith is the latest development in a whirlwind offseason for the Bears, less than a month since the Super Bowl.

Angelo, initially hired on June 12, 2001, is credited with stocking the Bears with a mix of veterans and young players. Chicago returned 22 players who started at some point last season, and through the draft added key rookies such as defensive end Mark Anderson, who had 12 sacks, and Devin Hester, who set an NFL record with six kick returns for touchdowns.

Angelo previously had his contract extended through 2008 on Dec. 29, 2003, the day Dick Jauron was fired as Bears coach.

Already this offseason, the Bears decided not to give a new contract to defensive coordinator Ron Rivera, who had interviewed for eight head-coaching vacancies the past two years. Rivera was hired by the Chargers to be their linebackers coach.

Quarterbacks coach Wade Wilson left to accept the same position in Dallas and the Bears have announced defensive line coach Don Johnson and assistant offensive line coach Harold Goodwin would not return.

Smith promoted Bob Babich from linebackers coach to defensive coordinator and hired Hardy Nickerson to coach linebackers and Brick Haley to coach the defensive line.

Chicago also designated Pro Bowl linebacker Lance Briggs as its franchise player.
