this is exactly what i think It will tell who really is making the call. If Emery really has the authority to make the call, Lovie will be gone. Why would you say that? I think Emery is inclined to keep Lovie around if he can. I think he genuinely respects the job he has done and thinks he can continue working with him. I am going to assume Lovie stays with some turnover at the OC job, again. Maybe if they actually put some effort into finding a suitable offensive line it will work. I think any GM would want their own guy in there. The Bears have missed the playoffs 5 out of 6 years, and collapsed in two straight, for whatever reason. If Lovie stays, he surely will get another new OC, and I think if that happens, it says that they're keeping Lovie because ownership doesn't want to eat that last year of his contract, and pay two HC's for 2013.
