I'm not going to judge Shea because nobody had a chance. That's from best to worst.

Tice was by far the worst OC

Tucker by far the worst DC

and Decamillis shouldn't even be a coach

Worst is hard. Martz thought it was a great idea to setup a scheme where the QB required time, without having a line that could provide the time. Turner was another "offensive genius" that couldn't get a whole lot going.

But Tucker might take the cake. He has former pro-bowlers looking lost on a semi-weekly basis.

Shea and Shoop have to be at the top of that list.

In hindsight, Turner did the best he could with the pile of shit that was handed to him throughout the years- Grossman, Orton, Griese, Hester, Benson.... at least he put up a couple respectable years.
Martz and tice had much more to work with and achieved far less.

Turner is also the most cursed OC/QB coach in the league... the grossman-orton era, Jay in his absolute worst season, a year as WR coach in indy... pretty good gig... till he makes QB coach in indy with painter/orlovsky/collins.... then on to tampa and Josh freeman and his old buddy dan orlovsky.

Hard to really diagnose his skill as a coach given the garbage he has had to deal with. he just gets an "incomplete" in my book.

Turner sucked. Garrett Wolfe up the middle from your own 2 yard line against the Williams wall? Case closed.

Don't kid yourself. Turner was ok, but you have to remember being able to ID the play every single snap. You remember that shit?

Turner was like the Tucker of offense. Vanilla as shit and never fooled anyone, ever. He didn't bother with chess.

His whole scheme was just power run/ PA. Basically nothing else. Remember not being able to run an effective screen EVER?

"3rd and 14. Bears need to get to the 38 yard line for a first down. Aaaaand Garrett Wolfe gets the handoff for a 2 yard gain. So we'll see Brad Maynard and the punting unit one more time."

Easy answer, Turner.

I interviewed him, Toub, and Babich during the old Expo on television in the United Club...2 days after Benson was cut.

I had prepared written questions for Turner, addressing running a pint sized Wolfe up the gut against the Vikings front 4 among other aspects of his vanilla offense including abandoning the run during the SB loss. Rather than simply being honest, and stating he called a few bad plays he deferred every question to the other 2 coaches. Of the 3 on the coaching panel, only Toub made sense.

Say what you want about Trestman, but he is the first coach in my generation that has plays that are so well designed and creative, someone walks into the endzone upright all because the play design and flow has moved the D out of his way.

No, Martz was well designed that way... but don't look behind the line of scrimmage if you want to see someone walking upright in that Offense.

Yeah, I agree Martz had well designed plays that would spring guys open too. But his all seemed at least 20 yards and required 3-4 seconds to develop, like you mention.

So in that way, they were failures causer they did not fit the personnel and what they were capable of.

Its kinda how I characterize Martz in my own mind. A potentially brilliant coordinator that was totally disconnected from what his players were actually capable of executing.

too few and far between though

lol

I think there is a lot of stuff that Trestman deserves criticism for but people need to get some motherfucking perspective when it comes to his O. In his FIRST year as coach, dude fielded the best offense in the history of the franchise.

If you are going to use the offense as your primary line of criticism of Trestman, than you are a fucking moron.

And yes, I recognize that they have been under performing so far. But even under performing, its still the best O in the Bears modern era. Get some fucking perspective.
