Coaches like Smith hard to find
Getting rid of Lovie Smith does not make the Bears a better team. Only replacing him with a better coach would. Jon Gruden? Hearing he's not coming down from the press box. Bill Cowher has gotten too comfortable wearing makeup. Mike Holmgren? He...

Fans' love of Urlacher is unrequited
To the men in the graying goatees who pull those ridiculous-looking navy No. 54 jerseys over slight paunches every Sunday, and the women who proudly wear the pink model, you don't matter to the Bears franchise player. To young kids across Chicagoland...

Change could be coming after Bears miss playoffs
DETROIT — The Bears could spend between now and wild-card weekend counting the reasons they will be sitting at home with 10 wins. A defensive meltdown in Week 13 against the Seahawks and a brutal loss at Minnesota the following week are good places...

Is it Cutler's fate to be next George?
Of all the former Bears players Chairman George McCaskey could have compared Jay Cutler to the other day, he chose George Halas. Who last played in 1928. Who played end. Who never contributed to getting a head coach fired because, well, he was the head...

Minutes after Brandon Marshall said everyone involved with the Bears offense should be held accountable, he darted out of the Soldier Field locker room, leaving behind his sad-looking Charlie Brown Christmas tree. There will be no NFC North crown...

Given history, Smith might be best fit for Bears
The Bears may appear to be going nowhere, but that doesn't mean Lovie Smith is headed anywhere. Smith effectively can seal another contract with a victory over the Packers on Sunday. Beating the Packers is important to Bears ownership, and Smith could...

Bears offense neglected for far too long
There is no need for Phil Emery to be locked into hiring a head coach with an offensive background. But there is an overwhelming need for him to be locked into hiring someone who has foolproof answers on how to fix the offense. And that probably means...

In Emery we must trust
Phil Emery will hire the right head coach for the Bears. Nobody can say so yet, of course. Nobody can draw a fair conclusion about Lovie Smith's successor until next season at the earliest. But Emery gave the Bears every reason to believe that...

Bears' pass rush making all the difference
The popular joke when the Bears traded for Jay Cutler in 2009 was that they fleeced the Broncos by including two first-round draft picks because such selections were worthless in Chicago. The trade simply spared the Bears the indignity of making even more...

Lean, healthy, Bears' Smith in it for long haul
Going into his ninth season with the Bears, lean and healthy Lovie Smith sure appears to have staying power. If he wins this season — which he should — Smith is likely to last at least as long as Mike Ditka as head coach of the Bears....
