[CBFF] Bears showing Rivera the door

[Jerry Madsen]

I'm fine with Rivera being shown the door.  I've been lukewarm on his
job as D-Coordinator since the Super Bowl.

He was essentially fired, even though Lovie said it wasn't.  But Lovie
said that they have decided to "go in a different direction."  That's
the same rhetoric you hear when somebody gets the boot.  Plus, Lovie
acknowledged that he and Ron were "going in two different directions"
where the defense was concerned.  That's Lovie flexing his muscles and
making a change.

As far as Babich, who knows.  I know nothing about him.
