Kuharsky: If Lovie Smith gets 86ed, Mike Heimerdinger could be in the mix in Chicago

If the Bears are in the market for a head coach to come in, fix Jay Cutler and get the Bears moving in the right direction, you’d have to expect Titans offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger would be on their list.
Heimerdinger has not only helped resurrect Vince Young, a quarterback who many thought was incapable of playing effectively in the league, but he also has a good history with Cutler and ties to the area.
This could be a very interesting situation to watch in the off-season. 'Dinger left for Denver the Jets in the first place because the position was supposed to get him closer to a head coaching spot, and at 57 he won't get too many more looks for a head spot.
Losing 'Dinger could be a blow to Vince, who has thrived under the guru's tutelage, or it could be a boost if Reinfeldt/Fisher managed to snag a prodigy OC who knew how to better use VY (say what you will about the Chow hire, but it showed that Fisher would think outside the box).
