the funny thing is, on the other Dolphins board I used to frequent (which I left as I got disgusted by the idiocy), I got attacked for saying Lovie Smith was going to be hired by the Bears, even though it was pretty much out there in just about every piece of news media online. someone even said he was going to be a "token minority interview" and said he stunk because he achieved nothing as coordinator in St. Louis (despite the fact that his appearance in 2001 is why the Rams got back in super bowl contention since the offense was already solid).
Lovie deserves it, plain and simple.
