NFL Football Revealed on Squib Kick

Chicago taking it slowly with Lovie Smith

by Jesse on March 28th, 2006

The Chicago media has slowly swung its focus away from the draft, and onto more controversial stuff. A story went out recently, full of outrage at the fact that the Chicago Bears are taking their time extending Lovie Smith’s contract. Apparently they’d rather throw caution into the wind than have the team take their time getting to know him a little better and getting a better idea of just how good a coach he really is.

The one Bears blogger I know of agrees that this is a good way of doing it:

I don’t see any problem with this. True, Smith is the lowest paid coach in the league, but I see nothing wrong with wanting to see some consitency before throwing out the big bucks.
