wtf?

This guy has to have some sort of a disease or something. How is he not a HC.

Re: Bears dump DC Rivera

The Bears are just being cheap because they don't want to give him a big raise. They figure having Lovie as HC means it is pretty much his defense anyway.

Of course they haven't signed Smith to an extension, and their players are probably a little pissed.

They should bring him in as an assistant head coach.

It isn't Jerry Angelo's fault.

The Bears have been notorious for not ponying up to pay their coaches. They will pay average, but they don't like to pay top dollar.

The guy doing the negotiations with Smith and the coaching staff is team president Ted Phillips.

Actually, Angelo has done a great job acquiring talent there and they haven't extended him either. His current contract expires in 2008 and there have been no negotiations yet on a new deal.

One would think they would lock up both guys.

Fair enough, I forgot they have a GM AND a President. Well either way thats a shame.

Re: Bears dump DC Rivera

Won't be Dallas.

Re: Bears dump DC Rivera

Won't be Dallas or SD, because both teams run the 3-4 and Rivera is a Tampa 2 guy.
