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...

Reader Q&A: Dan Pompei's Bears mailbag
Has Phil Emery shown his hand at all regarding his feelings for Lovie Smith? @Joey FAV, from Twitter Yes, he has shown his hand repeatedly. Emery has a lot of respect for Smith. And he wants Smith to remain as head coach of the Bears as long as Smith...

This no time to extend Smith's contract
Of course Phil Emery and Lovie Smith denied they have been knocking knees over a fresh contract for the coach. There's no upside for either of them if they indicate otherwise. If they're being truthful and Emery does wait until after the season for...

Season has earmarks of Urlacher's swan song
Pardon me if I'm a smidge disjointed with this one. I have had no experience writing about a Bears offense with players at the skilled positions who are capable of taking a team to a Super Bowl. And I have no memory of a Bears defense that appears to...

Cutler still somewhat in Elway's shadow
It somehow is appropriate Andrew Luck begins his career on a field opposite Jay Cutler. The Bears quarterback can offer his Colts counterpart a bit of advice about following a legend when the teams hook up Sunday at Soldier Field. Hopefully, it will be...

A vote for giving the Bears more help
The NFL’s competition committee had an idea that the Bears should like but don’t. The committee recommended increasing offseason rosters from 80 players to 90 as a way of developing more talent. Nothing wrong with that, right? A chance to...Tags: Phil Emery, Ted Phillips, Caleb Hanie, Michael Bush, Sports

Doesn't sound like Emery knows how to judge a coach
Phil Emery got so revved up that he forgot reality.
No, wait, Emery didn’t get revved up at his introductory news conference. Emery seems incapable of getting revved up.
So, maybe Emery was just so focused on offering snappy catchphrases about...Tags: Ted Phillips, United States Naval Academy, Environmental Issues, Lovie Smith, Virginia McCaskey

Tice's exit would just add to the Bears' sitcom
If Mike Tice leaves to coach the Oakland Raiders,the Bears would have all kinds of bad news.
Or, looking at it another way, the Bears would have all kinds of typical Bears news.
The Bears thought they were looking for just a passing game coordinator/...Tags: Oakland Raiders, Football, New England Patriots, Bill Belichick, Mike Martz

Ditka's 89 to be last in long line of Bears' retired numbers
When Jim Morrissey came to the Bears in 1985 as an 11th-round pick from Michigan State, he was surprised to receive No. 51, figuring it had been put away long before in honor of Dick Butkus. Then, a couple of months later Morrissey was sitting in the...
