Simply put the reason Jerry Angelo was fired was because of Caleb Hanie.
If the Bears would have had at least a serviceable back up they would probably be in the playoffs right now.
Lovie Smith for the moment seems to be safe.
Chicago Bears GM Jerry Angelo has been fired, according to ESPN’s Chris Mortensen.
Angelo came to the Bears in 2001 and he’s the one that hired head coach Lovie Smith, who apparently wasn’t fired along with Angelo. The Bears won 10 or more games four times in Angelo’s career in Chicago.
