I had finished my work after a good, long day, and I wanted to relax with some Thursday Night Football. I was in for a disappointment:
A bit of rough night, eh, for Lovie & the Boys down in Atlanta.

Hey, I thought Falcons-Bucs was supposed to be an NFL game.

@YShutdownCorner Lovie Smith has to show some leadership, fire up his team, and get his players under control!

@paytonsun Time to watch a movie. Maybe I'll find some competition in one.

Maybe Lovie Smith is just rusty from not coaching for a year.

@MiichaelWasHere Maybe nothing.
— sportsPond53 (@sportsPond53) September 19, 2014
@MiichaelWasHere Yep. Lovie doesn't show a lot of emotion and he doesn't talk a lot.

@nfldraftscout I was happy Josh got a nice contract with the Bucs, but Trestman takes a lot of credit for his success last year.

@NoahFairbanks @maxmara @M_fashionweek Looking at Amy Adams is definitely better than watching football tonight :)

Lovie Smith coached the Chicago Bears from 2004 to 2012, and was fired even after finishing the year at 10 - 6. He struggled in his first year, but managed to be the first African American head coach to reach the Super Bowl in his third season (2006 - 2007). That was clearly the pinnacle of his career with the Bears, as the next six years brought mediocrity back. His defensive prowess was matched by his offensive ineptitude, so despite bringing in a franchise QB in Jay Cutler, the Bears couldn't come anywhere near that pinnacle again.
Smith didn't coach for a year, then the Buccaneers hired him to change a losing culture down there in Tampa Bay:

| Lovie Smith deserves to be vilified after embarrassing loss to Falcons |
Clearly that ain't happening anytime soon.
