Lovie Smith: “Was the Big Money Worth It”

The Bears family has given out very few big contract, but when they do you have to wonder if they ever live to regret it. Take for example Dick Jarun, Cade Mcnown, Curtis Enis, Phillip Daniels just to name a few.

So when signing Lovie Smith to the extension making him one the top ten highest paid coaches. Do you get the feeling in the pit of your stomach that Ted Phillips is taking a lot stomach  medication  after giving Lovie the big extension and now seeing it come back to possibly haunt the Bears  in the long run.

Bill Cowher is siting out there, along with Bill Parcels and hey even Jimmy Johnson could have come back for the right price.

Now, don’t get me wrong the Bears family backed themseleves into a corner by saying to Lovie prove it, that you can win two years in a row and that’s when he took them to the SuperBowl last year, but with one year left on his old deal. They had to make the deal.  You have to wonder, if the bears fail this year will Lovie be on the hot seat next year.
