Also doesn't help that they cut loose Ron Rivera really late in the offseason. Rivera was encouraged to go after head coaching jobs and Smith, Ted and Mike M f'd him good. Yeah, they have guys hurt but anyone who thinks Bob Babich is a better def coordinator than Rivera is nuts. Lovie Smith got his deal and pushed to cut Ronnie loose in favor of a guy whose claim to fame was coaching LBs at St Louis.
