<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (vikingfan)</div><div class='quotemain'>What do the Chicago faithful think of this?</div> No big deal
It may be the best thing IMO, why put alot of money into a guy whose probably going to up and leave the second he gets a chance to?
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (FLORIDA PACKER)</div><div class='quotemain'>It may be the best thing IMO, why put alot of money into a guy whose probably going to up and leave the second he gets a chance to?</div> Because he has consistently put a great defense on the field...and, after 9 interviews he hasn't landed a job yet. Maybe he's a good coordinator but doesn't know how to make the next step.

Further, I though Rivera added elements of Philly's D which was where he was before Chitown. This equals if not surpasses the Chargers boneheaded move of letting Marty S go. The winner in this scenario is; Rivera.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (vikingfan)</div><div class='quotemain'>What do the Chicago faithful think of this?</div> i think its a retarded move.. i think Rivera was good for our Defense.. But i am going to say that the last 5 weeks of the season and how the defense performed.. i think thats why he was let go

Chicago probably didn't want to pay that much for 2 coaches and Rivera only gives his input. Lovie calls the shots like you said.

When i said it was lovie's defense, i didnt mean he came up with the entire philiosphy, i mean he basically runs it. He is a defensive head coach, thus making D coordinator less important than O coordinator on the staff.
dumbass move, instead of building on the team we had 2 make it 2 the superbowl so we can actually win it next year, the team is falling apart.
