Buccaneers coach Raheem Morris wasn’t the only head coach getting good news on Monday.

The Chicago Bears are expected to retain Lovie Smith as head coach next season according to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune.

Although wholesale changes are not likely in Chicago, a few spots will be shaken up.

There is a chance that Smith will relinquish his play-calling duties on defense to Rod Marinelli.

There are rumblings that offensive coordinator Ron Turner’s days could be numbered. PFT speculates one step further to say that the rest of the offensive staff is in jeopardy as well.
