Can he block? Can he catch passes?

Is he bald? Did he play in the arena league? These are the questions we should be asking.

Bears confirm it:

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy Saturday (Jan. 13) announced the hiring of Kevin Gilbride as the team’s tight ends coach.



Gilbride has spent the last eight seasons with the New York Giants and the last four as their tight ends coach.



In his time with the Giants, Gilbride has demonstrated an ability to develop young players. Last season, Evan Engram led all NFL rookie tight ends in receptions (64) and yards (722) and tied for first in receiving touchdowns (six). Engram also led the Giants in receptions and touchdown catches while finishing second on the team in receiving yards. In 2016, Will Tye, a second-year undrafted player, emerged as the Giants’ most consistent tight end. He played in all 16 games with 11 starts, including each of the last 10 games, and finished third on the team with 48 receptions for 395 yards and a touchdown. As a rookie in 2015, Tye led all NFL rookie tight ends in catches (42) and receiving yards (464) and was tied for the lead in touchdown receptions (three).

Full head of hair, not sure about this one.

He coached up Evan Engram so Im fine with this.


I wouldn't be mad if we drafted another TE either. Supposedly this is a deep TE class. All about getting Trubisky weapons

You know, I wouldn't mind it so much if we didn't have a rich history of not fucking using our tight ends enough in the passing game or in the red zone. I am so god damned jaded about the usage of TEs here that I just see it as another wasted draft pick to take another tight end. Particularly because we need wide receivers more than tight ends and more so a deep threat receiver.

I agree we do need WRs more, however I challenge you to try and forget everything you know about Bears football.

dont trust him

 

[Akuma2000]

I like this hire, hoping he helps Shaheen elevate his game and take a big step next season which will help give Trubisky another weapon to throw to.

Giants Beat Reporter when asked about retaining some of McAdoo’s staff.

I think both are good coaches. I think Gilbride has been the best assistant the Giants have had since I've been on the beat, especially with what he's had to work with since moving to TE before this year.
But really all depends on head coach

 

[mcbear34]

Good Hire. I"m really excited about the staff coming along.
