Yet another addition in the "what the fuck are they thinking" column as the Bears give Lovie the shaft. Phillips offers 3.2 mil when the going rate for Lovie should be a minimum of 5 mil. Something is clearly going on here with the additional departure of Wilson.
Angelo can claim business as usual in negotiating contracts, but the foundation is cracking. It seems the pettiness can never end at Halas hall. First they put the franchise tag on Briggs, thereby denying him a signing bonus and then lose two key assistant coaches.
Lovie has all the leverage and if he plays this season w/out renewing, he can leave and name his own price with many teams. Lets be realistic, there are at least 5 coaching vacancies every year. Lovie has taken the Bears to the promise land and will not be rewarded. Even if the two sides eventually agree, Lovie has been treated like he should be a grateful negro.
Just when we thought we were seeing the new breed of Bears, we are reminded that they are still owned by the McCaskey's. What would they do if Lovie walked-call back Rivera whom they have fired 3 times already. Lovie should give them the shaft for his brother man.
