He is the head coach of the Chicago Bears professional football team.
Lovie Smith began his tenure in 2004, replacing Dick Jauron. Before coming to Chicago, he spent three seasons as the St. Louis Rams' defensive coordinator, engineering the defense's turnabout from 23rd in the NFL in 2000 to 3rd the next year. Prior to this, Lovie worked under Tony Dungy with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he helped develop the Tampa 2 defense.
In Smith's first season with the Bears in 2004, the defense improved but the team suffered from an inconsistent offense. After losing starting quarterback Rex Grossman mid-season, the Bears finished with a 5-11 record and in last place in the NFC North.
Smith's second year as head coach started with another injury to his starting quarterback as Grossman was injured in a pre-season game. Smith turned to rookie quarterback Kyle Orton as his starter and worked with his offensive assistants to create game plans that accommodated his new quarterback. The Bears finished with the fourth-worst offense in the NFL (in total yards). However, the Bears defense more than made up for the offensive shortcomings, ranking first in the NFL in points allowed and second in total yards, using the Tampa 2 defense that Smith helped develop. In fact, the Bears flirted with setting the NFL record for fewest points allowed in an NFL season, losing the record in a meaningless final game with the Minnesota Vikings.
The Bears finished the 2005 season with a 11-5 season, the NFC North division title and a first round playoff bye. With this achievement, Lovie Smith was named the Associated Press NFL Coach of the Year, finishing ahead of mentor Tony Dungy.
