TALK HEATS UP OF LOVIE TO 'BOYS
PFT: lovie,o lovie come to big D
There is increasing chatter in NFL circles that Bears coach Lovie Smith will, after the Super Bowl, make a move to become the coach of the Dallas Cowboys.
As one source explained it to us, the Cowboys gig is Smith's dream job. It's hardly a stretch, given that Smith grew up in Big Sandy, Texas.
Ten years ago, then-Patriots coach Bill Parcells jumped to the Jets after a Super Bowl loss. The Jets later compensated the Patriots for acquiring the team's head coach while he was still under contract.
Whether Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is willing to send a draft pick or two (and some cash) to the Bears is a different issue. But if Lovie refuses to do an extension and tells the Bears he wants to leave, they might not have any choice but to take whatever is on the table. Lovie is now holding the cards, and shame on the Bears for not locking him up a long time ago.
