If you are saying Lovie didn’t have any say so in the drafting of players I would say you were wrong....

I wish lovie the best and hope he can change that defense. Maybe elevate his status again.

LOL What ?
teams still run cover two all the time and even Cover 3 . They didnt figure out anything Angelo stopped investing in the Defensive line and as it got older and declined so did the overall defense . The guy drafted Tommie Harris and Tank Johnson in 2004 and then basically tossed veteran free agents and late round picks at it the next 6-7 years . He then sealed the deal by trading all those assets for Cutler when he should've extended Orton to a team friendly deal and continued to build out both Olines and draft receivers instead he decided Cutler could turn Hester into a #1 and that both lines were set and it was a failure .
The Cover two is based on being able to pressure the qb with your linemen and the bears couldn't find those two edge rushers and still have overpaid or held on tooo long even today for guys that simply cant do it consistently in Mack and Quinn in a 3-4
The Texans have the groundwork for the makings of a quality 4-3 defense Watt and Omenihu on the ends ,Zach Williams at MLB and Reid at safety.

Other than the prevent defense against Peyton Manning in the superbowl, and the red flag % being the lowest in history I believe, the "mug front" was the dumbest shit we saw during Lovie's tenure.
Those 3 things really do bring a man's intelligence into legitimate question. Babich invented it, but Lovie allowed it.

Lovie was a good coach years ago, the game has changed, Lovie hasn't.
It's really not rocket science.

At least he's not fucking the Illini now. My son in law gave that prick a ticket for 40 in a 25 zone in the busy part of campus. Pissed him off.

He was a good one-system DC and a likable leader in the locker-room.
Also, inept as a HC in the NFL and NCAA.

I've said this before and I'm saying it again...
FUCK YOU LOVIE HATERS. You STUPID asses don't know what a good coach is. You bitches were happy for Fox, Trestman, and this latest FRAUD...
And you can come say it to my face. I'll be happy to meet you...

I admit...
When it comes to the topic of Lovie, I let my emotions get the best of me. The black coach who has had the most success over his predecessor coach and the last three successor coaches combined...
So yeah.. I'm a Lovie defender. And I'm proud of that. You knew that....

Yes cover 2 is still 'ran,' but the Tampa 2 not so much. You don't see middle linebackers in the deep third at all anymore. Indy runs it sometimes still, but really that's about it. I don't think anyone has used it as their base defense for like a decade.
Most teams also don't run base cover 2 nearly as much as they used to, most team don't have defensive tackles that play exclusively one gap, most team employ odd fronts a good deal of the time if not all the time in base, and most importantly most teams hide and change coverages, use way more stunts, and basically are much more creative than Lovie was or is.
