"There was hope that Declan Doyle would return to the Bears for a second season. After all, turning down a Philadelphia Eagles team looking to fill an offensive coordinator gig helps me understand why that was the case. But when the Ravens came calling and dangling the opportunity to call plays for a two-time NFL MVP, I can also understand why Doyle is leaving town."
"In an interview with 104.3 The Score (that'll take some time to get used to writing) on Monday, Bears tight end Cole Kmet discussed why Declan Doyle leaving to become the Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator is a big deal. And I do not take it lightly that Kmet called it a "big loss" when discussing Doyle leaving for Baltimore and Eric Bieniemy taking his talents back to Kansas City to coach with Andy Reid and the Chiefs:"
Declan Doyle has been hired as the Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator after one season with the Chicago Bears in a similar role. Doyle previously declined an Eagles offensive coordinator opportunity and accepted the Ravens' offer to call plays for two-time NFL MVP Lamar Jackson. The Bears hoped for Doyle's return, but his departure represents a notable loss for Chicago. Bears tight end Cole Kmet described Doyle's exit as a "big loss," praising Doyle and Eric Bieniemy for providing substantial offensive value. Doyle influenced halftime adjustments and contributed meaningfully to the Bears' offensive work despite not being the primary play-caller in Chicago.
