<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Bears | Rivera not renewed, team likely to promote BabichMon, 19 Feb 2007 11:47:12 -0800Jay Glazer, of FOXSports.com, reports the Chicago Bears have opted not to renew the contract of defensive coordinator Ron Rivera, leaving one of the top defensive minds in the game without a job. The team wanted to pursue a long-term plan for the position due to Rivera's candidacy for numerous head coaching positions and head coach Lovie Smith felt the need to move in a different direction sooner rather than later. Smith will likely promote linebackers coach Bob Babich to the newly-vacated defensive coordinator position.</div>Pathetic.

I know we have a DC, but Rivera could be the "Senior Defensive Consultant" or something of the like. Just for a year and then he can get a head coaching gig next year somewhere.
Yeah the Jets should make him their "Senior Defensive Consultant" for a year, as should 30 other teams. Bears are retarded, now he has to sit out for a year or take a job he is way overqualified for.

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING LOVIE!! :ranting: :ranting: :ranting: :ranting: :ranting: :ranting: :ranting: :ranting: :ranting: :ranting:I'm starting to think that firing him ain't such a bad idea after all
This is really tough but I cant really stop loving Lovie. He's still brought way too much to this team to fire him.
