The Chicago Bears have agreed to a 2-year contract extension with head coach Lovie Smith that will keep him with the team through the 2013 season.
Smith, who had one year left on an existing deal signed following the Bears’ Super Bowl appearance in the 2006 season, is coming off of an 11-5 regular-season and a trip to the NFC Championship Game.
Financial terms were not disclosed.
Since coming to Chicago in 2004, Smith has won three NFC North titles and posted three seasons with double-digit wins (2005, 2006, 2010).
Smith has a regular-season coaching record of 63-49 and is 3-3 in the postseason. His 66 wins are third-most in franchise history, trailing only George Halas and Mike Ditka.
