Angelo Shoots Down Mullin's Report

According to Bears GM Jerry Angelo, Lovie's job may not be as safe as we thought. Prior to today's game, the Bear's GM refuted the Comcast Sports article claiming that the decision to retain Smith for next year had already been made, and stated no decision will be made until the season has concluded.
While this may sound promising to many fans clamoring for Lovie's firing, Angelo also stated that the money owed to Smith would not be a factor, that it wouldn't be a financial decision. Somehow that statement strikes me as, well, lacking in truthiness. Link to AP article via Yahoo! here.

My apologies

One way or another a big name has to be hired, either a new HC or a splashy OC hire. No way around it, something BIG has to be done.

Sounds like Angelo is trying for ticket sales
While I doubt the Bears fans do a protest ala Cleveland or another form of protest at all. Seems like many of the fans are fed up with the team and many with Lovie Smith.
While the winter gets colder and the team gets worse continues to suck. It becomes harder to drop $100-$300 for a ticket late season (and while the temp plummets).
Angelo comes out and says Lovie stays no matter what, that might just be the final thing to keep fans home that week. So sounds like Angelo is playing politics to me at least.
