Lovie Smith plans to sit out the 2013 season

Jan. 28, 2013 - 12:55 PM ET

Ex-Bears head coach Lovie Smith plans to sit out the 2013 season and return as a head coach in 2014.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported the same thing earlier this month, but head-coaching jobs were still open at the time, so it wasn't set in stone. Smith apparently has no interest in the defensive-coordinator vacancies in Philadelphia or New Orleans, even though they wouldn't seem to have interest in him either. Smith will be 56 years old once the 2014 season rolls around.
