The words of Urlacher and Hester spoke volumes to me. The overwhelming tone of their comments was "You fuckers got our leader fired. We fucking hate you".
Urlacher sounded disgusted when Silvy asked him about being in Chicago next year, and Hester flat out threatened to retire!
I mean think about it - I've heard players express disappointment when their coaches are fired, but this sounded like someone had cheated their dad out of his life savings, FFS.
Lovie has bred something into his closest players that made them play their asses off for him (good for the Bears) but has also almost made him bigger than the club in their eyes (very bad for the Bears).
I don't really have a problem with players being visably upset when someone who they really love is fired. That's a very big part of what makes him a good coach. He's a great motivator and any successful coach needs to have his players believe in him.
Hester and Urlacher are saying these things/acting this way in the heat of the moment. Give it some time and I think the players will settle down.
