Everyone with experience at HC or OC has lost their job doing it at some point. There's no win/win here.

Yep. There will be something to complain about, or be unsure about, no matter what.

So, you think that LSU team that one of the greatest offenses in CFB history had Enmsinger calling plays? ??
Enmsimger has never in his life had an offense like that one. He's a power run OC. Burrow looked like absolute crap the year before with him as OC.
And you think he called playa over Brady? ?

So. He’s been on an NFL team for a while. We either get a recycle or an up and comer.
people will complain about both.

Everyone has to start somewhere and at least he has a little bit of experience in it in college to not be at ground zero.

As long as he doesnt run Cohen up the middle on 3rd and 3, I’ll accept him.

You dont bring in a guy with no experience calling plays and give him a second year young QB. It reeks of disaster and Im not a Bears fan. Maybe he beats the odds, but he is already put in a shitty situation

It is but probably wanted someone who likely needs 2-3 years before getting a HC gig.

If they do miss out on Brady, Greg Olson could be an option as QB coach. He’s an experienced play caller whose offenses have mostly been above average but he’d also bring experience to a very green offensive staff.
Just a thought but he does have a lot of QB coach experience. Of course the flip side of that is most of the young QBs he coached ended up sucking in the long run… Freeman, Goff, Gabbert, Henne, Pryor…
He was Carr’s OC his rookie year (and since 2018) and Goff turned from straight up bust to pro bowler his year there.

Dan Mullen called plays there.
How Dan Mullen is able to be both play-caller and head coach at Mississippi State
Unlike Auburn head coach Guz Malzahn, Dan Mullen still calls the plays in his ninth year at the helm for Mississippi State.

Ask Matt Nagy if being an OC means you called plays.
He may have called plays at D2 and D3 schools a decade or more ago.

I'm not against the hire. It will be a big step up in responsibility from anything he's done before most likely.

Just like any current OC at some point. Nobody is born out the pussy with “called offensive plays” on their resume already. There’a a starting point for everyone and anyone who has called plays.

Zac Taylor called plays for like 5 games back on 2015. He was hired as Bengals HC after being a QB coach.
Don't think people appreciate that these decisions are largely based on discussions that happen behind closed doors that we are not privy too. Time will tell if he was the right choice.

Yep a 31 yr old who had never called plays who nobody had ever heard of at the time.
