HUGE NEWS! Babich demoted, Lovie to call the defense.

I can't believe this is happening... Lovie finally admits that Babich sucks, and that Lovie himself will take more hands-on approach and help call the defense, while Babich coaches LBs again. .

Smith, addressing the media via conference call Tuesday, said defensive coordinator Bob Babich would remain in his role but also would serve as the linebackers coach, replacing Lloyd Lee. Babich spent three years as the linebackers coach before being promoted to defensive coordinator.

Smith said he plans to help Babich with coordinating the defense.

This is it folks... it's all in Lovie's hands now. He has truly decided his own fate.

I think this is a way to bridge the gap for a year, without forcing out his close friend Bob Babich. Perhaps his other good friend Rod Marinelli will eventually ascend to DC. But, when Lovie "takes over," and his defense still stinks... Lovie will get "canned."

This will be the talk of the town...

Smith said he plans to help Babich with coordinating the defense.

``I'm excited about taking a more hands-on approach,'' Smith said of getting the defense back to where it used to be.

Smith said the staff would tweak the Cover-2 scheme but not change it.
