I desperately want him to succeed and I'm certainly skeptical that he will though I remain hopeful. So you have me 100% wrong. I've been a Lovie fan from day 1 with the Bears, I've always thought he's a great coach.
What you are picking up on, I suspect, is my distaste for being peed on and told it's raining.
It's not just rebuilding, it's not a dumpster fire they inherited, it's not a roster of worthless players they had to get rid of, Lovie Smith and Brad Underwood have TO THIS POINT been absolute titanic, unmitigated failures. They've put some of the very worst teams out there that this University has ever seen, miles and miles and miles below any reasonable expectation based on the admittedly pedestrian situations they inherited.
I strenuously object to the idea that you have to deny that reality in order to support and root for and believe hopeful things about the future of those two coaches.
In the 35 years since I graduated from UI, Ive learned to take a much longer view of rebuilding in business and sports .
curious as to your take on the Rickett's and Epstein's performance when the Cubs lost 101, 96, and then 89 games in the 3 years after Epstein was hired ?
