Is Lovie officially fired yet?

Is Lovie officially fired yet?

 

yes he is

briggs was very very good this year

 

hester wants to retire - furious about smith being fired. just like returning punts - somehow i don't see him going forward with that

 

 

a buddy just texted me saying Hester is retiring

Briggs was a beast in the first half of the season.

Hester, considering your drops cost your coach his job (very likely), I'd suggest you do just retire.

That blows. I would have liked to see him break Prime Time's record. He can probably get back on track again if he focuses on being a return man.

He had those two pick sixes against the Cowboys and Titans. Then we didn't hear too much from him.

#Bears' Devin Hester: "I don't even know if I want to play again."

That dropped TD against the Vikings was HUGE.

Considering it. He will play. Heat of the moment talk, but not for the Bears hopefully.

Lovie will make a great defensive coordinator for someone.

 

Good luck, old friend.

Yep. Perfect for a DC. Just not well-rounded enough to be the head guy.

I would love to see Lovie in Buffalo.

Would be crazy if NE hired him...

I could see Lovie being the type of guy that pretty much refuses to become DC unless that is absolutely the only option for him, and at this point I could see him getting plenty of HC interviews.

 

once guys get a taste of being HC, they dont like going back. And say what you will about lovie, he did leave chicago with a winning record, and that will play very favorably for him on the coach market.

That wouldn't be fair.

Oh, and I am talking as a head coach. I think he could immediately turn the Bills into an 8-8 team with a rookie QB, and they could be a playoff team if they bring in a motivated veteran (like a Michael Vick).

Good point...he could probably get a job in a place like Buffalo, as Wite suggests...or Cleveland.

Lovie is too good not to get hired this year. If he wants it he will get it.

He definitely deserves another shot at HC. Frankly, he just needs to actually hit up a competent OC, which he didn't find here. But you can't survive after woefully ignoring 1 facet every year. For as disciplined and good at execution as we were on the defensive side (and special teams), we were the opposite on offense. Undisciplined, horrible at execution, and just bad.

And made a Super Bowl with Rex freaking Grossman as his quarterback. The only other starting quarterback in the last 15 years that was as bad as Grossman was Trent Dilfer and he played on a team with arguably the greatest defense of all time. It is nearly impossible to make a Super Bowl with a QB as bad as Grossman starting for you. Lovie will land on his feet, hopefully the Bears don't f*** up this hire but I fully expect them to.

Lovie was a very good coach for the Bears. He was always a competent OC/QB away, which is far away. To some extent, he needs to be held accountable for the issues in getting an offensive coach here. There have always been murmurs that the good OCs didn't want to coach with him. Likewise, though I feel he is a really great defensive mind, he may not get players with the pedigree of Urlacher, Briggs, Tillman wherever he goes. Urlacher was the key to the defense for years because he could do things that others at his position simply could not.

i am surprised he said this, said nobody anywhere at any time
