Who should be next defensive coordinator?

[Chicago4Life]

this is only if nagy is fired after this weekend...if nagy is retained for another year unless its a promotion for rodgers or someone on the defensive staff noone is going to want to come here when nagy is on the hot seat for 2021.

true

Candidates:

Raheem Morris

When Dan Quinn gave up defensive play calling they improved significantly under Morris. He impressed a lot as the interim head coach when Quinn was fired.

Jay Rodgers

He's been with the Bears for six years now as defensive line coach. He decided to stay in Chicago when Fangio left to Denver. In 2018 season, Rodgers was named Defensive Line Coach of the Year

Gus Bradley

He was the defensive coordinator for the Chargers until the on going coaching change but he has done pretty dang well.

Wade Phillips

Recently fired from the LA Rams hrs been a solid defensive coordinator for years.

Rex Ryan

It'll be hard to lure him away from his cushy job as an analyst but he'd be a solid hire, the last time Bears had a Ryan they won a Superbowl.

Kris Richards

He didn't coach in 2020 but is a DB coach with some experience as Seahawks defensive coordinator.

Romeo Crennell

Vet of over twenty years in the NFL he's run a 4-3 and 3-4 defense and has done it all.

The Bears should go back to a 4 3 they dont have the LB talent to play 3-4.

what draws you to saleh? i personally think an offensive coach is the way to go.

The last 3 were not helpful to your theory

 

[Leomaz]

For all you guys saying Donatell, the Broncos will block that lateral move.

Proof

Has this ever happened? Who leaves
their 8 GF for someone they never met?

Bring back Mel Tucker

@msadows What do you think?

 

[Chris Sojka]

Fire Nagy. Make Todd Bowles the HC. Lazor stays on as OC. Fangio is out.

Bowles would absolutely dominate with this defense. I’ll hear no arguments because you have to be stupid to argue this anyways.

 

[Szlachcic]

Rogers.

@msadows What do you think?

Yeah I’d love to know so that I can hope the bears do the opposite

The Bears should go back to a 4 3 they dont have the LB talent to play 3-4.

I thought this the other day also. They have the personnel for a switch back to 4-3. Doesn’t really matter tho. How often do they stay in the base 3-4?

 

[bamainatlanta]

@msadows What do you think?

He's 100% backing Pagano's return

Done with the 3-4

 

[Aesopian]

Proof

I'd think Fangio would be proud of Ed and support him if he wanted to leave.

 

[Aesopian]

Done with the 3-4

It seems like talent is harder to come by for a 3-4 defense but I think a hybrid defense would be better.

Pass on lazor but Bowles another good one. Wish we got him instead of pagano

 

[Chicago4Life]

people do realize that the bears were in nickel which is a 4-3 alignment for a good chunk of the snaps...right?

a switch to 4-3 is not going to magically solve the problems on this defense. goldman opting out for the season was huge loss and it showed in the bears inability to stop the run consistently.

 

[vabearsfan15]

Honestly I'd like a Rex Ryan type personality to add some swag back to the defense. Hes someone who will call it like it is and not put up with the BS. Someone who will inject some confidence and not try to people please.

With that said, I dont think he is a fit with Nagy. Probably not for keeping an always positive culture amd pretend like everything is alright.
