So the Bears are gonna fire Lovie, but keep Mike Tice?
They haven't made a decision on any of the assistants yet.
The new guy will decide who he wants to keep, probably just our DC and ST coaches.
Lovie Smith got fired

Has to do with money. If the coaches can get other job offers, the bears don't have to pay them. If they fire them outright they do. That's why they haven't announced the fate of the coordinators/coaches.
It sounds like Jay Cutler is the new Alex Smith for y'all....hold on before you start flipping out, but the Niners front office used to defend Alex Smith like it was his 2nd or 3rd year in the league the past two seasons like he was going to dramatically change the way he played.
Sometimes you gotta look at dude's body of work and understand that's it. This is Cutler's 7th year and at his best he is a gunslinger that is his own worst enemy. He won't be on Rodgers, Brady or Peyton's level. He ain't even on Matt Ryan's level. If the GM is claiming offense was the problem with Lovie then he shouldn't be flipping it around to say Cutler just needs more weapons. Martz has had teams that offensively destroyed the NFL. Tice called plays in Minne when they were destroying the league offensively too.
My point is that Lovie might not be the biggest offensive issue y'all had. If the GM can't see that right off the bat then it's gonna be a shytty couple of seasons coming up for y'all.

The offense was shytty before cutler got here.
And the assistants signed extensions this year. If you know there's a chance you're gonna fire the coach, you don't want to lose assistants you wanna keep

sorry but besides lovie bringing in inept OC he hasn't done anything warranting a firing. Last year cutler gets hurt and we dont make the playoffs b/c we have a shytty backup QB and no backup RB. This year we go 10-6 with 2.5 games w/o cutler and our backup qb STILL sucked and when we needed Michael Bush he was fukkin injured.
All that being said, keep Marinelli as the DC fire tice and hire a HC who's gonna focus almost completely on developing Cutler.
IDK who that will be though, and im pissed we fired lovie

19-38 against teams w/ winning records..
2-8 in the last 10 games vs. the Packers...
That's it...I can't save that nikka cause he got the same skin color as me...
We need to make a push for excellence, not middle of the pack..
