Bears not renewing Rivera's contract!

[Little Whiskey]

he will end up a HC no later than next offseason.

I don't know ....he has been to 8 interviews, and turned down. somethings not likable about him.

i heard somewhere the other day that he really doesn't interview well, he doesn't come off well

[BooHoo]

Eight chances to land a job and no offers?

It doesn't surprise me he was let go with the thinking that he was a short term fix anyway.

Why doesn't Chicago ink Smith to a long term contract? It doesn't make sense to me why they would play games with him. Maybe he will show them and quit as coach. How much time does he have on his contract?

Well duh - he's a Bear.

Rivera is new Chargers linebackers coach.

Two sources (SI and ESPN, sure on first, pretty sure on second) said this was Lovie's decision. He felt more comfortable with Asst Head Coach LB coach to design game plans. Lovie may be throwing Rivera under the bus here. Weird. Maybe to beef up leverage to get new contract?

Related note: Paul Chryst, UW O Coord is now likely to interview in SD for Turner as well. Coord or QB coach. This is working out backwards for us. We need Chryst to stay put and get Schottenheimer some more interviews.

Chryst was an incredible couple for the Badgers; to me he's as valuable as the head coach. His loss would be devastating. I hope he stays.

What kind of organization is it that tries to low-ball a head coach who just took the team to the Super Bowl?

[MJZiggy]

The Bears' organization...

[swede]

If sh!t like this was happening in Minnesota Rastak would be in here reporting on it.

The Bear trolls can't even bother to stop in to offer a litle information.

Do you suppose their lack of presence here has anything to do with the wet drubbing they took in Miami?

Or is it because they were, are, and ever shall be, completely clueless and bereft of any meaningful information?

[BallHawk]

Chicago amazes me. Whenever something good happens to them, they find a way to make it bad. Once Lovie moves on Chicago will continue to have a hard time findings coaches because of their reputation(deservedly so) of being cheap and not rewarding their coaches.

All of the above.
