With the addition of Jay Cutler in the offseason, there was a lot of buzz going into the 2009 season for the Chicago Bears.  Bears’ fans expected head coach Lovie Smith and his staff to lead the Bears into the postseason, but they were far from it with a 7-9 record this season.  Well, the Bears have decided to keep Lovie Smith as the head coach, while they decided to fire most of his coaching staff on the offensive side.  Most notably was offensive coordinator Ron Turner, along with five other coaches.  The offense was ugly this year for the Bears, and Jay Cutler really needs a fresh start with a new offensive system.  The defense wasn’t great either, and Smith has lost his play-calling authority on defense.  There was a lot of speculation that Smith would be gone after missing the playoffs for three straight season, but perhaps the $11 million left on his contract had something to do with the Bears organization sticking with him.  It will be interesting to see who the Bears go with for their coordinators and hopefully they can light a spark under this organization.  One thing is for sure, if the Bears miss the playoffs again next season then Lovie Smith will definitely be gone.
