[CBFF] Bears have a new LB Coach

[Ryan Dietzenbach]

Thanks for the explanation, Tom.  I was a little miffed.  This one has
Lovie's fingerprints all over it, however.

I seem to remember an article about the Nickerson/Lovie relationship
in the Sun-Times a few years ago.  Perhaps I'm dreaming but I could
swear I read at least a blurb about it.

If he can coach half as well as he played, this is a great hire.
