Bears staff entertains Dungy for day of 'football talk'

With no players to coach, the Chicago Bears' staff has taken to teaching one another this offseason, something coach Lovie Smith has termed "football enrichment."

Monday, the Bears staff had a guest lecturer, retired coach Tony Dungy, the *Chicago Tribune* reported.

Smith's ties to Dungy date to when he and Bears defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli were assistants on Dungy's Tampa Bay Buccaneers staff. They extended to Super Bowl XLI, when Dungy's Indianapolis Colts defeated Smith's Bears, 29-17.

"We're just going to talk football for a day," Smith said. "There aren't a whole lot of us still in our system who believe in it the way we do. We're pumped up about him coming."
