Lovie Smith

The new NFL League Year is officially underway as of Wednesday Afternoon, and one pro with local ties is on the move.

Univ. of Illinois has tapped former Chicago Bears/Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Lovie Smith to take over their football program. Question is: was this a good hire?

With the NFL Play-offs set for this weekend, a lot of the 20 teams left out of the post-season are firing their coaches and general managers today to start 2013 with a clean slate including Philadelphia, Chicago, San Diego and more.
