Jeff Fisher Reportedly Covets Bears Head Coaching Job

Bears president and CEO Ted Phillips emphasized Tuesday at a press conference that coach Lovie Smith's job is safe. Any general manager hired to replace Jerry Angelo must keep Smith, signed through 2013, through at least the 2012 season. But according to a story on NFL.com, former Bears safety Jeff Fisher -- one of the biggest free-agent coaches -- wants to return to Chicago. Reportedly a candidate for the vacancies with the St. Louis Rams and Miami Dolphins, Fisher "will keep an eye on Halas Hall." NFL Network reporter Albert Breer cited a source with knowledge of Fisher's thinking as saying of the Bears coaching job, "That's the one he's always wanted."

I could totally see that if Lovie wasn't in the picture...

 

This might get ugly.

 

Screw that. Fire Lovie.

 

The Bears are great at making the wrong decisions...so this will never happen.

 

Of Course...they are keeping Smith over Fisher.

 

& LS has a say in who the new GM will be. :icon_rolleyes:

Just what we need...a defensive minded HC who relies more on takeaways & soft Cover 2 variations than trying to actually field an offense throwing in his 2 cents on the next guy fielding the talent.

God I hate the McCaskeys....

 

Thank god, I don't want Jeff Fisher coaching in the NFC North.

 

Already lost Martz, if you dump Lovie Smith you might as well cut Forte, cutler, briggs and urlacker... start fresh

 

Fisher wants to coach the Bears BECAUSE they got Cutler. That was his original target in the draft.

 

what kind of g.m. is going to take this gig knowing he will just be lovie's snitch ?

 

Someone desperate or not fully qualified...
