11. Lovie Smith, Chicago Bears

Ranking Smith is like trying to collect your thoughts on why you own an Astrovan. He's been more than serviceable, but it seems like he always comes up short, even among his own fans. Is that fair? He's taken Chicago to a Super Bowl and a couple of NFC Championship Games, but many Bears fans have called for a more aggressive leader. That's not Lovie. Game management has been another issue. What's not an issue is his stable influence and results -- an annually competitive team that hasn't lost 10 games since 2004. Prior to Smith's arrival, the Bears had lost at least 10 games in five of the previous seven seasons.
