Calling it the “Lovie Curse”, Urlacher still appears to be a little bitter about how his days ended with the Chicago Bears. He was close to former head coach Lovie Smith, and both parted the team on less than pleasant terms.
Speaking on the Tiki and Tierney show, Urlacher had the following to say:
“I like to say it’s the Lovie Curse…He got fired being 10-6. I think they fire him either way. Even if we go to the playoffs, I think they fire him. I don’t think the GM liked the way he coached the football team.
