Bears Show Lovie Some Love

Lovie Smith, despite being the lowest paid head coach in the NFL in 2006, took the Chicago Bears to Super Bowl XLI.

Well, he'll finally get paid...in 2008.

Smith has agreed to a 4-year, $22.5M contract that will keep in on the Soldier Field sidelines through 2011. As the ESPN article states, Lovie will keep his paltry $1.45M salary in 2007 before joining the elite head coaches who earn upwards of $5M per season.
