Bears coach Lovie Smith not focusing on future

LAKE FOREST, Ill. — Losses are mounting and so is the criticism, yet coach Lovie Smith insists he’s not thinking about his future with the Chicago Bears.

LAKE FOREST, Ill. — Losses are mounting and so is the criticism, yet coach Lovie Smith insists he’s not thinking about his future with the Chicago Bears. He’s only focused on the task at hand: Salvaging something from this crumbling season. At 4-7, the stumbling and bumbling Bears are staring at their third straight postseason miss since the 2006 team’s run to the Super Bowl, and Smith says he understands the scrutiny. The Bears hit another low Sunday in a 36-10 loss at Minnesota in which Jay Cutler threw two more interceptions and the defense allow 537 yards — the most by Chicago in 27 years. Injured star linebacker Brian Urlacher questioned the team’s direction in an interview with Yahoo! Sports, wondering why the Bears are emphasizing the pass instead of the run.
