Lovie Smith took Bears to SB with Rex Grossman at QB. How many coaches have had MULTIPLE chances and never won Divisional title game?
So hire him in chicago. You can have his antiquated defensive scheme and his conservative play calling. His defensive scheme was great in 96. You guys fired him after getting you a superbowl appearance.
@Daniel Salas He was fired because GM kept giving Cutler $. Bears D was mostly top 10 the entire time he was coach.
Gtfo. Lovie is a great coach. Just didn’t pan out!! He’s had multiple head coaching jobs and opportunities. Get real.
Still getting that contract money for 3 years!
Lovie Smith was just a place holder. He was getting fired anyway!
3-13-1 and Lovie Smith should have kept his job for what reason exactly? Because is … black! If the team had shown improvement during the season, he probably would have kept his job, but three(3) victories, the team was going nowhere. 🤦♂
Why everything should be about race, about women vs. men, etc. You always, always should pick what you think is the BEST “person” for the job; I don’t f-ing care is that person is white, black, a woman or what else; we want the best person.
Were the owners upset about their draft pick, or is it a just a convenient excuse?
Bo knows👏 the Texans have squandered soo much talent. Also, Steven A. must thumb through a thesaurus every morning
As a Bears fan I have nothing but love for Lovie, he got us to the Superbowl. That being said, having a 2-8-1 record in Texas isnt going to make anyone happy with you.
They didn’t even try to put talent on that team and Lovie got them to play hard!! They probably shouldn’t have won any games!!
Don’s double “not privilege” is the only thing keeping his job. Certainly not the ratings anyway.
NFL is getting a lot of HEAT lately.
I’m a Texans fan. I wouldn’t have fired him. But I’m not surprised either.
It’s a hard business. Win or move on.
Why CNN has to make this a discussion about race I do not understand?
And if it is a question of race then why would Houston hire him? It doesn’t make sense.
One thing is sure, if the effect of hiring a black coach is you can’t ever fire them if they don’t perform then no one will take that chance. (All coaches MUST be dispensable.)
The ultimate truth is that had he managed to do significantly better then he would still be there. Had he shown he was a star coach that could out coach others and bring Houston future wins then they would have clung to him. Because, ultimately, the NFL is about two things to the owners, money and prestige. I could be a green, androgynous alien with 5 tentacles, but if I could coach the Texans into the playoffs they would hire me and keep me.
3-1 3-1.
The math doesn’t lie Stephen A.
Welcome to Cleveland style football.
This segment was funnier than anything on the pre-scripted “Game Theory” show. Let Bo go off the cuff he’s way funnier.

Black Man Approach get fired and start playing the race card
Dumpster fire? Lemon knows all about being in one.
Fear of making mistakes, fear of failure, fear of looking foolish, fear of criticism Is that what you are really afraid of. Or is that a cover for your real fear: fear of leaving your comfort zone. Embrace discomfort. Thats where great success lives.
Whats gonna be the headline if we hire demeco ryan? Its you making it racial. Always sowing division. It doesnt matter if you are black white brown or asian. This is a performance based league cry foul when they fire a winning coach
Dan Campbell went 3-13 and the Lions didn’t blink. Not saying Lovie or prior dude were the answer but the rules are different.
I don’t actually think color has much to do with it when you’re 3-13. You could be green, you’re still getting fired.
