McCarthy Gone - Now the search is on - Schottenheimer Hired

[Chocolate Lab]

Gonna be that OL coach from Cardinals, which is fine.

Yeah, I hope it is him. First young coach we'll have hired who excites me a little.

Maybe the Jets DL guy, too. Jets fans seem to not want to lose him. But OC is obviously a bigger position.

Have they interviewed a diversity candidate for OC? I don't remember seeing that.

Koger is a black dude.

Box checked, we are able to move forward.

You have to assume an O-line coach will at least bring something a little different to the OC position as opposed to another video game passing guy.

I was hoping for Eric Washington but I think this is about as good. The Jets had one of the best DL's in the league and this guy did a nice job developing guys like Jermaine Johnson and Will McDonald, not to mention getting production out of lesser known guys like Bryce Huff.

From the Bears site:

Dave Borgonzi enters his third season as linebackers coach for the Chicago Bears in 2024. He adds 18 years of coaching experience to the Bears, including 13 in the National Football League with stops in Indianapolis (2018-21), Tampa Bay (2014-17) and Dallas (2011-13). Prior to arriving in Chicago, he spent the 2018-21 seasons with Coach Eberflus in Indianapolis coaching the linebackers.

Borgonzi helped lead a Bears defense that was one of the best in the league in 2023. Their 86.4 rushing yards allowed per game and 1,468 total rushing yards on the season both the fewest in the NFL. They also allowed only one, 100 yard rusher in 2023 (Week 18- Aaron Jones, 111). The Bears became just the seventh team since 1970, and third since 2000, to go from last or second to last in rush defense to top-5 in the following season.

None seem nightmarish.

This will be a hungrier staff, I believe.

Wow, you can't get a much better endorsement than this from DFDC

Don’t get me wrong, I am in no way homering out.

You have to hope with unaccomplished coaches, that they are eager.

Oh please. You know you slapped thighs after you pronounced them "Not nightmarish."
