In response to "Lovie Smith was totally scapegoated here, by an incompetant GM. " by groiny

I think this GM has been good so far, but he was hamstrung by Angelo for years. I still think firing Lovie was a mistake though.

When you hear the players talk about playing for him you realize it's not so easy to replace a guy like that. But he's done a terrible job hiring offensive coordinators.

complete mistake. but the defense is getting older, and you have to figure they are gonna take a step back. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 3, 11:20 1
- Maybe. They've done a really nice job replenishing the defensive line. Their second unit there is ready to step up. The safeties are young. - pmb Jan 3, 11:28
I am amazed that if Green Bay had beaten Minnesota, we would be describing Chicago as a dangerous team rather than talking about Lovey's firing. -- nm - David Jan 3, 11:18 4
- I think there's a reasonable chance that if they were one and done that he still would have gotten fired, but it's definitely not certain. Firing him - pmb Jan 3, 11:25 3
  - He had one year left on his contract right? I don't see why you don't do the OL upgrade and give it one. Esp with aging DEF -- nm - oblique2013 Jan 3, 11:26 2
    - Completely agree. It's just not unusual for a new GM to want to choose his own coach. Which is why it would have made more sense last year. - pmb Jan 3, 11:31 1
      - exact;y it. He was unliked by most fans because he was so low key. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 3, 11:32
