[Bears] Bears Head Coach Lovie Smith To Call Defensive Plays

TJ · **News Posted By:** TJ 01-13-2009, 09:22 PM

Bears head coach Lovie Smith will call plays for the team on defense, taking the responsibility away from defensive coordinator Bob Babich, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. Chicago's run defense was ranked fifth in the NFL, but they were a pedestrian 16th in points per game allowed (21.9), and had a horrid pass defense, ranking 30th in the 32-team NFL by allowing 241.2 yards per game through the air.

Lovie can't bring himself to fire his buddy.

Sadly, no, Lovie won't fire Babich.

Just imagine if Ron Rivera gets the Lions head coaching job.

As usual Lovie being a fucking suck up to his boy Babich.

I bet Ron Rivera is on his way to his next head coaching interview right now laughing his ass off. This scheme isn't even the scheme he wanted to play when he was DC here but oh no, Lovie just had to say no to playing the 46 defense.

Lovie has had an agenda against former 85 Bears players when we made our SB run a few years ago.

Fuck him.

Sadly, Lovie will never learn that his scheme will never work with this team.

Rivera's had a shot at I don't know how many HC gigs and still hasn't gotten one.

So the Bears are going to pay Babich to..........yank his crank in the press box? Sounds like a sweet job.
