Please fire Lovie Smith

Smith should have been fired last season especially after the debacle in Minnesota. Let's just hope that the McCaskey family decides that this team is not going in the direction it needs and figures out that they need a true talent evaluator and not some moron who did not do that well in Tampa Bay. Plus as much as I liked his hiring initially, Smith is another coordinator who does not have what it takes to be an awesome head coach. The "Cover 2" is now a pre-historic defensive scheme and it is time to bring in someone who will return this team to what we all know and love, go old smash mouth football and destructive defenses.

He's the worst coach in the NFL BY FAR! I'd be estatic if we had TOM FREAKING CABLE over this guy!

Umm, I promise you wouldn't. Tom Cable's Raiders have been a train wreck, and they don't have an untalented roster. You want to talk about Lovie wasting our defensive talent? Cable has the best corner in football, a very solid group of linebackers, Richard Seymour and Greg Ellis on the d-line, and he's somehow managed to turn them into a godawful defense. Cable's only had three years in the NFL, and never risen above a position coach until this season: the guy's in way over his head and it shows.

 

Lovie's a big disappointment, but he's not close to as bad as Cable. I agree that the team needs to move on, but firing Lovie alone isn't going to do it. Ted Phillips needs to take a long hard look at the roster Jerry Angelo's built and the draft picks and millions of dollars he's spent doing it, then ask himself if Angelo's competent to build a competitive NFL team. Quick answer: No.

It probably only seems like penalties have been more of a problem this season after the Bears drew 13 flags for 109 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Packers. But that’s not really the case. The Bears are on pace to draw 112 penalties, which is pretty much in line with what they had in 2006 (112) and 2007 (111). On the other hand, they’re on pace for 937 penalty yards, which would be the most since they had 956 in Lovie Smith’s first season in 2004 when the Bears set a team record with 124 penalties. Last season, the Bears drew only 78 penalties for 610 yards. This season, they rank 28th in the NFL in penalties and 30th in penalty yards, ahead of only the Ravens and Packers.

 

This is from Meyer's chalk talk...

 

This alone says a lot about Lovie Smith and how he controls his team. He needs to go, and the whole city of Chicago needs to boycott the damn franchise until they find someone capable of running it. Papa Bear is rolling in his grave...
