As I Viking fan, as much as I hate to say it they made the right move. Just like the Vikes kept Dennis Green on 
ay too long based on regular season success. Hopefully they'll go out and hire someone like Crennel, or maybe give Cam Cameron another chance, but with my luck they'll probably find a good coach (I wish Leslie Frazier was available for you).

Agree with the firing, but I am surprised because all I heard is that he's "a player's coach" and all the players really liked him. I was not happy with his Tom Landry stone faced sideline demeanor. I say if somebody messes up....get in their face!

It will be interesting to see how things turn out. I really liked the fact that Lovie wasn't a hot head, but a little emotion would have been nice. There were plenty of times where you're ticked off as a fan during or after the game and he just stood there with no expression even in the postgame shows. He's a defensive minded coach which I like, but you still have to score points and be consistent.
I agree with this, however some coaching moves need to be made. Mike Tice is
y too predictable. The offensive line doesn't work against any good defense. Our wonderful defense has gotten old without us realizing it. Time for a rebuild. Keep what works, replace the rest with some youngsters who want to win.
Totally agree the O-line should be the number one problem addressed, but Lovie needed to go, i think he was a good coach but it seems like he just doesn't have the drive and determination to want to win. In the 9 years he has been on the bears i don't know if i can ever recall seing him get upset or show emotion (if so very rarely). The bears need someone to light a fire under their butts, think DITKA!
I stand behind the move. Swapping offensive coordinators out each season wasn't working. Bears had no identity this season (outside of Cutler to Marshall).
Hopefully they get somebody who has been a head coach and don't promote some offensive/defensive coordinator from some other team. I could stand Gruden, as long as I don't have to hear him do play-by-play.

Totally agree with the move. Smith was a horrible in-game coach, took the best kick-returner of all-time and turned him into a useless WR, acquired a potential franchise QB and refused to provide even an average o-line to protect him, was arrogant and condescending with fans and media, mandated an outmoded defensive scheme, hung on to aging players too long, and refused to embrace the new, offensive-minded play of the NFL.
I'm hoping they get Mike McCoy, the OC from Denver; he even got Tebow to win a few games! If not McCoy, then Jon "Chucky" Gruden should be the pick.
All in all, a great day for Bears fans.
(*and to those talking about how sad it is to see someone lose their job, Smith will be paid $4 freakin' million NOT to coach the Bears in 2013)

I just hope it's someone who has a "Chicago" kind of coaching style. I like Tony Dungy, but I don't want to see any of his mentees in Chicago. That quiet, good-guy, turn-in-your guns stuff doesn't play well in Chicago.
