If you don't wanna click the link then i'll show you the staff they came up with.'
Head coach: Matt Lafleur
At the end of the day what are the Bears after? More than anything they want somebody who can get the most out of Mitch Trubisky. When it comes to track records, few boast a better one than Matt Lafleur. He started things off with a bang by getting a career year out of rookie Robert Griffin III in 2012, earning Pro Bowl and Rookie of the Year honors. Two years later he got 29 touchdown passes from Everett Golson at Notre Dame, who had 23 total the other two years without Lafleur.
Next Lafleur landed in Atlanta where he helped Matt Ryan mastermind his magnificent MVP season in 2016. Now he’s the offensive coordinator in Los Angeles where Jared Goff has gone from first round draft bust to the Pro Bowl. That is called coaching consistency. Is Lafleur able to handle the job beyond the quarterback? That’s the big question but the good news is he’s been well-trained in the art of building a strong staff.
Offensive coordinator: Greg Olson
Olson brings loads of NFL experience to the table. He’s been an assistant on several staffs since 2001, most often either as a quarterbacks coach or an offensive coordinator. This would actually mark the second time he’s held the Bears QB job. He was also there in 2003. He’s been offensive coordinator for five different teams and gotten top play from several quarterbacks including Marc Bulger, Josh Freeman, Derek Carr and Blake Bortles.
Quarterbacks coach: Brian Schottenheimer
Schottenheimer is another longtime assistant with a wealth of experience under his belt. He’s the son of the great former head coach Marty Schottenheimer and has built his own considerable legacy as a coordinator and quarterbacks coach. He oversaw the development of Drew Brees in San Diego and got the best years Mark Sanchez would ever have as a starter in New York. Despite difficult circumstances he’s done fairly well this year in Indianapolis with Jacoby Brissett.
Wide receivers coach: Mike McDaniel
Lafleur has worked with McDaniel with two different teams dating back to 2011. The 34-year old coach is a versatile offensive assistant who has directed running games and passing attacks in Washington and Atlanta. His specialty appears to be wide receivers though. That’s not a surprise since he himself used to be one. He helped Pierre Garcon have his career-best season in Washington before doing the same for Andrew Hawkins in Cleveland a year later.
Tight ends coach: Brian Pariani
Pariani is one of the most accomplished tight end coaches in the league. This man oversaw the development of Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe in Denver and got a couple Pro Bowls out of Owen Daniels in Houston. He’s won four Super Bowls as an assistant dating back to 1994 and helped the Broncos do it most recently in 2015. Lafleur worked with him for two years in Houston so there is a familiarity to exploit.
Offensive line coach: Keith Carter
Another young but experienced assistant that Lafleur worked with. Carter was assistant offensive line coach for the Falcons in 2015 and 2016. During that span Matt Ryan was sacked just 67 times and the team drastically improved their rushing output. He did the same at the college level for San Jose State. He’s an up-and-comer who is ready for another step up the ladder.
Defensive coordinator: Rex Ryan
Some context is required to sell this idea. Remember that Lafleur is the right hand man to Sean McVay. McVay solved the Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator issue not by reaching to his own connections but by seeking out the most accomplished candidate available. That was Wade Phillips and it worked wonders. Lafleur looks to follow that example here. Rex Ryan may have been an average head coach but he’s always been a defensive specialist. In 12 seasons holding either head or coordinator jobs, his defense has finished top 10 in nine of them. His 3-4 background will also serve to maintain continuity for the Bears.
Defensive line coach: Ted Monachino
Another castoff from the likely purged Colts coaching staff. Though he’s not done too well as a coordinator, Monachino is a highly respected front seven coach who’s done work on both the defensive line and linebackers going back to his days in college. He had a big hand in the development of nose tackle Terrance Knighton in Jacksonville. For the most part he’s been straddled with bad talent. That would change in Chicago.
Linebackers coach: Mike Pettine
This would be a huge get. Pettine has remained a free agent to this point since his unceremonious exit from Cleveland two years ago. He has a long history with Ryan from their time in New York, Buffalo and Baltimore together. Pettine is a quality defensive coach who could easily be coordinator himself. Bringing him in to focus on the linebackers is like cheating. He did great work at that job for four season with the Ravens.
Secondary: Dennis Thurman
It’s a crime that Thurman never went to the Pro Bowl himself during his playing days. This is a guy who had at least five interceptions in five different seasons. Since then he’s also become a criminally underrated assistant coach. He oversaw the development of Ed Reed in Baltimore during his Defensive Player of the Year run and also helped turn Darrelle Revis into a superstar with the Jets. This guy knows defensive back play better than most.
