Lovie Smith rebuilding Bucs using old Bears parts
About this time 20 years ago, former Bears personnel chief Bill Tobin was general manager of “Bears South,” turning around the Indianapolis Colts in no small part using players who followed him down I-65 from Chicago: Jim Harbaugh, Troy Auzenne, Jay Leeuwenburg, Chris Gardocki, David Tate, even Richard Dent.
The Colts with Tobin as GM got to within a dropped Harbaugh pass in the end zone from reaching the Super Bowl after the 1995 season.
For the past two years Lovie Smith has been about the job of fixing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and in the process has created a newer version of “Bears Way, Way South.”
