Naming names: Changing the loser ways of Bears coaches
In trying to pare down the list of coaches who should replace Lovie Smith, I have two top choices, and neither is Bill Cowher. It’s not that I don’t like or respect Cowher, it’s that I’m looking for the Bears to make a...Tags: Chicago Bears, Brad Johnson, Jacksonville Jaguars, National Football League, Super Bowl

Packers winning methodically
GREEN BAY — Although the Bears have failed repeatedly to hold down the Packers, the rest of the league believes the Bears know how to do it. So this season, almost every Packers opponent has borrowed the Cover-2 pages from the Bears' playbook....Tags: Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers, Bryan Bulaga, NFC North, Brian Urlacher

Special teams coaches are the hot NFL thing, so what about Dave Toub?
Phil Emery put a couple special teams coaches on his list of coaching candidates, and that’s only the two that we know about. The Bears general manager might have more names on his LinkedIn account, and it can’t be just to comply with the...

Smith's dismissal renews hope
With each New Year there arrives the chance to clear the slate and begin anew. I was delighted the Bears did that Monday when they showed Lovie Smith the door. It made for a more celebratory Rockin' Bears New Year's Eve than the Fog Bowl victory over the...Tags: Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers, New Year's Day, Gary Kubiak, Indianapolis Colts

Given history, Smith might be best fit for Bears
The Bears may appear to be going nowhere, but that doesn't mean Lovie Smith is headed anywhere. Smith effectively can seal another contract with a victory over the Packers on Sunday. Beating the Packers is important to Bears ownership, and Smith could...

Bears' season going to pieces
MINNEAPOLIS — In a telling fit of frustration appropriate for Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Vikings, Bears wide receiver Devin Hester followed up a failed late fourth-down conversion by throwing his helmet against the turf of Mall of America Field....

Lovie Smith out after 9 seasons as Bears coach
The epitaph for Lovie Smith's tenure as head coach of the Bears could read, "He couldn't fix the offense." For all the good things Smith did in his nine years in Chicago, his undoing was his inability to take care of the side of the ball in which he...

What's the answer for Bears?
There is an undercurrent of ambition to the firing of Lovie Smith. Winning isn't enough anymore in Chicago. Winning 10 games isn't enough, anyway. A new standard has been set. It may have taken nine years to figure it out, but Lovie Smith was deemed...

Several NFL coaches fired; Who's next?
If you missed Monday's "NFL Slam with Mark and Sam," starring Times NFL columnist Sam Farmer and Mark Thompson of "Mark and Brian" radio fame, you missed a great discussion on black Monday.

Smith loses vote of no confidence
Ask the 10 biggest Bears fans you know: Would they rather the Bears beat the Lions on Sunday to make the playoffs or lose to increase the chances of a coaching change? See if they answer quicker than Jay Cutler feels the pass rush on third-and-long....

The best and worst of Lovie Smith
THE BEST Bears 39, Saints 14 -- NFC championship game, Jan. 21, 2007: After the Bears tied a franchise record with 13 regular-season wins, Smith guided them to the NFC title and a Super Bowl berth in his third season. Thomas Jones rushed for 123 yards...

Bears defense is failing, and that's on Lovie
There’s a lot of vitriol aimed at the Bears offense after Lovie Smith’s team embarrassed itself against a bad Minnesota bunch. I get it. Mike Tice’s offense ranks worse than Mike Martz’s, and how stupid is that? Heck, the offense...
