I suppose you can't know how good Doyle would be until he gets the chance, but yeah, kind of an uninspiring hire.

I figure that Ben Johnson has a specific way in mind to develop Caleb Williams and build the offense. My assumption is that he wants a unified front so to speak with that development and that maybe some of the other more experienced options were not in alignment with him on that process and how Johnson wanted to run things.

Yeah I mean even Andy Reid when he left the eagles and went to the Chiefs said he is offense. That’s how it is and we got Johnson running offense and Allen running defense I’m happy. If Doyle is Johnson’s security blanket so be it

I'd like the OC and DC to be here a while and just build stability. I think Allen is going to give us a good squad and I doubt he gets another chance at HC. That's a pretty good hire. I like that he's aggressive.
Doyle? Couldn't pick him out of a lineup. But given all the fuss about having the play calling HC so that the OC doesn't get poached, my only concern is if this guy gets in the way. The guy is 28 so the only way this guy gets hired away too soon is if he is an absolute wizard of an OC. Which, hey, that would be great for us.

No one is hand wringing. We're asking the question of why a young first time head coach didn't hire someone with a longer more experienced resume to provide adequate balance to the staff.

With the limited knowledge I have on DD here is what I like:
1. Ben picked him, I will trust him until he can't be trusted.
2. We needed an OC that doesn't want to call plays right now. Young, eager to learn, etc.
3. I keep hearing "up and comer" and "whiz kid" which I like.
4. He was a TE coach. I like THAT. We need Kmet more involved.
Yes, there were other "names" I liked more, but I'm willing to give Ben some room to pick guys here.
Also, really love the DA move. That is way more important to me.

Given Allen has HC experience, Johnson's covered on that front.

I already stated this week that the Bears did the correct thing by hiring Ben Johnson and gave credit for it.
There's a lot of work for him to be successful here because I don't see the obvious evidence that everyone else seems to that this team is on the verge.

If you were not saying you wanted Declan Doyle before he was hired spare me the virtue signaling. He might be gods gift to football but none of you know shit.
I trust Ben Johnson but in the meantime I shall make fun of his stupid name.

I'll gladly take any offensive mind that's worked under Sean Payton for any amount of time.
