Lovie Smith gets new deal

According to the Associated Press, "Lovie Smith got a contract extension and a raise, nearly a month after a Super Bowl appearance and a week after his agent said negotiations were so stalled the Chicago Bears coach would probably leave after the 2007 season... The lowest-paid coach in the NFL last season at $1.35 million when he led the Bears to the Super Bowl, Smith's deal will average about $4.7 million per season over five years." About time, eh?

I don't pay too much attention to salaries in sports, but I was surprised that he made that little. I think I heard that some assistants were making more than him on other teams.

It was well-deserved for Smith. He's done a phenominal job.
