Ron Rivera coached the Bears defense for three years. He created a memorable defense in 2005-06, and again in 2006-07. But before the Super Bowl he was interviewed by the Dallas Cowboys and then the San Diego Chargers after. Contraversy has spurred over play calling in XLI and whether he should coach the defense next year.
I myself don't think that it was the right desicion for either side to make it official that he wouldn't return. For Da Bears, Ron was coaching a very good defense and had a good relationship with Lovie and the rest of the defense. For Rivera, he had something going with the Bears, and now he's not sure where he'll end up.
The Bears will most likely move Linebacker coach Mike Babich up to Defenseive C. Lovie and him were roomates in college at Tulsa so I think it was a little episode of favoratism by Lovie. But who knows, the Bears will be alright.
Now it's off to baseball season. GO CUBBIES!!!
