"But that isn't the only bit of news to come out regarding departures from Halas Hall. Declan Doyle is out as offensive coordinator, stepping down from the gig so he can take the same position with the Baltimore Ravens. For Doyle, the opportunity to call plays for two-time NFL MVP Lamar Jackson must have been enticing. Hence, I understand why he is leaving town."
"On the one hand, I can't think about Taylor without remembering how much negative pushback came with the news of his hiring onto Ben Johnson's staff. However, there wasn't a moment between then and now when I even thought about Taylor, who holds the passing game coordinator title. Press Taylor is one of a handful of internal candidates who could get promoted. And unlike others on this list, Taylor has experience as an offensive coordinator from his time with the Jacksonville Jaguars from 2022-24."
The Chicago Bears experienced rapid turnover across the front office and coaching staff, beginning with assistant general manager Ian Cunningham leaving to become the Atlanta Falcons' general manager. Declan Doyle resigned as offensive coordinator to accept the same role with the Baltimore Ravens, attracted by the chance to call plays for Lamar Jackson. Eric Bieniemy departed as running backs coach to rejoin the Kansas City Chiefs as Andy Reid's offensive coordinator. Head coach Ben Johnson must now fill multiple staff vacancies, including a new running backs coach and an offensive coordinator. Internal and external candidates, including Press Taylor, are being considered for the offensive coordinator position.
