Correct. 6 years, $21 million. Less than Jason Heyward AND no opt out clause.
Plus whatever TB will be paying Lovie.

Depends a lot on how he coaches this bad team. If he can get the most out of them, he has tons of NFL player connections. Guys like Lance Briggs, Brian Urlacher, and Peanut Tillman would go to bat for this guy. He is the ultimate player's coach in that regard, so we will see where this goes. NC? Probably not, but I would expect to challenge the big ten with annual bowl visits.
I'm really disappointed. Where are the multiple weeks of speculation, where we seem to be dithering and not getting anything done and the Chicago and national media are publicly wondering whether anyone is awake at the wheel? This seeming decisiveness and competence has me really uncomfortable. Sort of dizzy. I'm not sure how to handle this.
I bet Uncle Jim is happy too. Some heft in the West. Not many colleges hire a two time NFL HC who took a team to the Super Bowl (with Rex Grossman at QB). All hail JFW!
NCs is a push, but Ole Miss brought in a coach who made some home run recruits (some from Illinois!) and was suddenly in the NC race. Things happen more quickly now, particularly as recruiting becomes less regional and more "winner takes all". I look forward to Lovie recruiting in Chicago and in Florida and think he'll come up big. My concern for Lovie is whether he'll be able to discipline young kids screwing up on campus - kind of like the emerging Groce situation.
Lovie meeting the team. This right here gets me pumped.
P.S. Does the bad spacing between "TO" and "WIN" bother anyone else? #OCD

I would bet that Expect to Win was there from
Beckman...just the way it is put up there

I thought that was a warning about parking in a restricted area and there wasn't room for the "G."
Sorry, it's Monday morning. My funny doesn't kick in until Weds afternoon.
