What will be the effects of Lovie Smith's firing?

I'm afraid the defense will be significantly different. I enjoy having Rod Marinelli as the defensive coordinator and the Bears playing the cover 2 scheme. I am afraid Brian Urlacher won't return to the Bears and that would be a huge loss for the Bears Defense. The Bears will have a much improved offense, but I don't see them going really far with Jay Cutler. The Bears will need the support of the defense to carry the team with a weak offense. So the firing of Lovie Smith makes me feel uncomfortable.

Update:

AND the bears had a winning season!

    It affects a lot I was just hearing the radio and they were saying that some players were angry and sad. Lovie was a players coach and many players grew attached to him. Hes made many of the players his friends. Thats all good but the NFL is a business and the players have to understand that. Im also afraid the defense will not be the same again, but really that dominant defense has not produced results and results matter. I love what Emery did in firing Lovie. He made it clear to the players that he isnt Lovie and hes not going to baby you and if you arent good, you are GONE! that is something the Bears have needed for a long time, instead of this "Rex is our QB" "Or J'Webb is our left tackle". Emery wants to go to a different direction, and I see nothing but goos things for the Bears.

    Da Bears won't be a 10-6 team next year with the firing of Lovie Smith. Nothing will change from the firing. My guess is that Da Bears will be 7-9 or 8-8 next year. See how much firing Lovie Smith helps.

    expertise and expectancies. The Bears have loads of expertise. Cutler because of fact the QB. a great working back. A suited notch protection. once you have the expertise like that and playmakers you are able to desire to offer and make the positioned up season, era. As you stated he's been head coach for 9 years and wager what? in basic terms made the positioned up season thrice. it particularly is why he grew to become into fired, that's basically unacceptable for a team like the Bears to in basic terms make the playoffs thrice in 9 years whether a million grew to become right into a SB. Had they made the playoffs this season, little doubt he'd nevertheless have his job yet nonetheless.. that they had the wildcard spot and lost it.. actual at one factor it appeared like that they had the branch and lost it. basically no longer reliable adequate.
