Pompei: 80% Chance Lovie Returns for 2010 season

Based on what I'm hearing, I would say it's 80 percent certain.

The Bears are likely to make the announcement about retaining Smith early in the week, maybe even Monday. Ron Turner will be sacrificed. The Bears will hire a new offensive coordinator and probably add a defensive coordinator to the mix.

Also John Mullin said on CTL on tues that the minny game most likely saved Lovies Smith job and he will be back barring an horrific performance against the lowly lions starting culpepper...

So yeah.....barring a miracle for some people, looks like Smith will be back in 10....

Be interesting who they have pegged not only for OC (I would have to imagine Cutler BEGGING them to bring in Jermey Bates or heimerdinger should the titans clean house like PFT hinted at earlier in the month) but who they have targeted for DC.....
