3 Top Offensive Coordinators the Bears Should Consider to Succeed Luke Getsy.
At a discouraging 0-2 start, the Chicago Bears are teetering on the edge of a crisis. Despite a promising offseason rich in new talent acquisitions, the team's performance echoes its familiar shortcomings, particularly on the offensive front.
Currently, the Bears rank 28th in the NFL's offensive line-up, holding a 25th position in passing and 21st in rushing over two games.
The current offensive coordinator, Luke Getsy, hasn't been delivering the results. Disturbingly, for two consecutive weeks, rival teams have declared they could predict the Bears' game plan.
It's becoming increasingly clear that the Bears need to part ways with Getsy. But who's next in line? Let's delve into three potential candidates for the role.
1. **Joe Brady, Quarterbacks Coach, Buffalo Bills**
Brady has an impressive track record, having collaborated with some of the most accomplished quarterbacks, both in college and the NFL. Currently associated with the Buffalo Bills, he works closely with Josh Allen. Earlier, he was a pivotal figure in Carolina under Matt Rhule and played an essential role as Joe Burrow's quarterbacks coach at LSU. His tenure in New Orleans, working alongside Drew Brees, further amplifies his credentials. With his rich experience, Brady could be the key to harnessing the potential of Justin Fields or any upcoming rookie in 2024.
2. **Chris Foerster, Offensive Line/Run Game Coordinator, San Francisco 49ers**
Extracting a top assistant from Kyle Shanahan's camp usually means a promising future, as evidenced by Mike McDaniel's transformative impact on the Miami Dolphins. Foerster, the current offensive line coach and run game coordinator for the 49ers, could be another worthy catch. The 49ers are recognized for their impressive run game and formidable offensive line, and Foerster's influence is undeniable. His continued success in 2023 makes him a potential contender for the Bears' next offensive coordinator.
3. **Brian Johnson, Quarterbacks Coach, Philadelphia Eagles**
The parallels between Jalen Hurts and Justin Fields have been a subject of much speculation. The Bears aimed to propel Fields into a trajectory akin to Hurts by providing him with the resources, such as a dominant receiver like D.J. Moore. However, Fields' current form leaves much to be desired. Brian Johnson, associated with the Philadelphia Eagles, could be a potential game-changer for the Bears. Johnson's influence on Hurts, combined with his ability to craft an efficient offensive strategy, might be the breath of fresh air the Bears are yearning for.
