I was just curious what people thought about coach Lovie Smith now that some time has passed since he has left the Bears. I read on one post how some people thought he had been a good coach for the team. I have mix feelings about him. I thought after the first season he had a few good seasons but he also had some brutal seasons thrown in there as well. Some people will say it was the offense that hurt him, but he was the Head Coach so he was responsible for hiring a good offensive coach. I can't give him a pass on that. I dogive him credit for getting the Bears to the big game with Rex Grossman, in fact he should be granted Sainthood for that feat. I also thought he did not have the team ready for that game and did a poor job in the game and firing Rivera was not a good move. I also thought the last few years he could not beat the good teams, they had decoded his cover 2 defense and he was unwilling to change or adapt away from that defense. It was painful at times to see good teams roll over that defense at will. In conclusion I feel that he was above mediocre but below good falling into average. I am curious what other people will write. I thought it was the right thing to fire him after the 10-6 season but not to hire Trestman.
