1 way to get under the skin of Chicago Bears coach Lovie Smith was clearly established Monday. Asking him a question about rumors 1 of his assistants is leaving for an additional job soon after the season whilst the team is in the midst of fighting for a playoff spot seems to do the trick.
The concerns came amid reports linking offensive coordinator Mike Martz, in the final year of his contract, to the head coaching vacancy at Arizona State.
“If there’s a adjust that will be created, I’ll be making it, and I definitely haven’t discussed that with any individual,” Smith said, according to the Chicago Tribune. “So, I’m sure there are a lot of things out there that men and women make up. That has to be made up because nothing like that came from me. It ought to definitely stop appropriate there.”
Either way, Smith will do what it takes to maintain the Martz-associated rumors off the front burner. Given his other pressing troubles — Caleb Hanie is his beginning quarterback, Matt Forte has a bum correct knee and the recent loss to the Tyler Palko-led Chiefs — Smith undoubtedly could do without an added distraction.
