Dennis Allen DC, Declan Doyle OC , Richard Hightower STC + other Bears hires

[playthrough2001]

Go ahead and run through the positives of hiring Doyle for me.

He’s good enough that he’s worked for Sean Payton on two different teams. Johnson told anyone that was listening that he’d need a smart grinder that would be willing to work long hours. Obviously, Ben wanted him.

Do you think you know more about this than Ben Johnson and Sean Payton?

Declan Doyle gunna spoil Daniels boil and he don’t mind your so fine Denniss alllllllllen

I'm just going to assume that Shaw and Johnson had serious philosophical differences - possibly just on what Johnson wanted out of his OC in this position (ie, it's Johnson's offense, not Shaw's) or how to structure and run the offense/team, or all of the above.

Shaw hasn't coached in the NFL for nearly 20 years and hadn't coached at since 2022. So, I never thought that he was a slam dunk hire anyway.

Only two people on this entire message board have probably heard of Declan Doyle before today. Nobody should have an opinion on him.

True. Interesting to hear he's 28 years old. Ben Johnson must see some of himself in the guy.

We also needed an OC that wasn't hungry to call plays. This sounds like a good hire the deeper I dig on it. But DA for DC is the big news here.

Okay so go ahead and run through the resume positives of Doyle.

He can't possibly completely ignore that Cole Kmet exists like the last guy did.

That would be like hiring an offensive lineman as General Manager that completely ignores how bad the offensive line is like the last guy did.

Declan Doyle has a three sentence wiki page.

Go ahead and run through the positives of hiring Doyle for me.

Sean Peyton's tree hasn't had a lot of branches but he's identified young brilliance in Joe Brady before.

Ben Johnson runs the offense. Dennis Allen runs the defense. Hightower runs special teams. Dont get it twisted Johnson is not going to tell Allen what he wants o. Defense lol.

He's got a kinda cool name.

I'm suspicious of the Irish. Too shifty.

Nobody can’t team me Randel El is not more qualified than Declan Doyle.

Greg Gabriel said people who worked with him called him a “whiz kid”. Do with that as you will.

Why?

It's not about who he has worked with, it's about needed experience.

Cool but we have that in Johnson I wanted a leader but who knows

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

The handwringing over Declan Doyle is hilarious.

I don't a crap how good of an offensive coordinator Declan Doyle is. I give a crap how good Declan Doyle is at being Ben Johnson's secretary.

The Dennis Allen hire is far more important

Greg Gabriel never has a bad thing to say about anything the Bears do.

It's not about who he has worked with, it's about needed experience.

But who he worked for before -is- a part of that experience. It shapes what they learned and how they learned it.

We will see in September.
