The Chicago Tribune is reporting that the Bears fired head coach Lovie Smith on Monday after nine seasons.

The newspaper's web site said: "The epitaph for Lovie Smith's tenure as head coach of the Bears could read, 'He couldn't fix the offense.' For all the good things Smith did in his nine years in Chicago, his undoing was his inability to take care of the side of the ball in which he had no background."
