A BUNCH OF MULARKEY: The Buffalo Bills yesterday named Steelers offensive coordinator and former Viking Mike Mularkey as their new head coach; the hire means that six NFL teams- a full one-fifth of the league- currently employ head coaches named "Mike." (Holmgren, Shanahan, Martz, Tice, Sherman, and now Mularkey.)
UPDATE: The Bears have hired Lovie Smith as coach, as Smith becomes the first and only coach in NFL history named "Lovie."
