Lovie Smith on the hot seat?
The Chicago Bears lost to the Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLI. Since then, they are 16-16: 7-9 in 2007 and 9-7 in 2008.
As David Haugh of the Chicago Tribune points out, the Bears have plenty of holes to fill including wide receiver, offensive tackle, safety and a pass rusher. But GM Jerry Angelo doesn't plan on making any big moves in free agency to address those needs.
Instead, Angelo expects a change in attitude and thinks the team is constituted in a manner that the team only needs to be tweaked.
Per Haugh, "it essentially tells a head coach such as Smith that the GM believes he has acquired enough talent—now go win. In the case of the Bears, it says Angelo believes the players are good enough to win the NFC North if the coaching staff just can find the best ways to use them."
