The Bears agreed to terms with head coach Lovie Smith on a two-year contract extension that keeps him with the club through 2013. Smith has led the Bears to three NFC North titles and three double-digit win totals in the last six seasons (2005, 2006 and 2010). Smith has a regular season coaching record of 63-49 and is 3-3 in the postseason (66-52 overall). His 66 wins are third-most in franchise history, trailing only George Halas and Mike Ditka. He also guided the team to its first Super Bowl appearance in 21 years when Chicago advanced to Super Bowl XLI.
