Chicago Bears hire from within their coaching staff as their next OC
The Chicago Bears and their head coach, Ben Johnson, have finally found the offensive coordinator they have needed, since former offensive coordinator Declan Doyle took the offensive coordinator role with the Baltimore Ravens.

To fill Doyle’s shows and assist Johnson with the playcalling, the Bears decided to hire from within, promoting passing game coordinator Press Taylor to offensive coordinator, according to NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport, Tom Pelissero, and Mike Garafolo. Taylor, 38, was the Jacksonville Jaguars offensive coordinator (2022-24) and was integral in Pro Bowl quarterback Trevor Lawrence’s development.
Taylor has also worked with the Philadelphia Eagles and the Indianapolis Colts in various roles.

Press Taylor should add another quality voice to take the Chicago Bears’ offense to the next level

Even though Johnson will be the primary play caller, having another voice with play-calling experience to offer a different perspective could help in late-game situations or when telling Johnson that going for it on fourth down may not be a great idea. The Bears had the sixth-best offense in the NFL in Johnson’s first season as the head coach (369.5 yards) and had the best offense in the playoffs, despite their elimination (431.0).
This move by the Bears appears to be a smart one, as Taylor will offer continuity to quarterback Caleb Williams, who, aside from being great in the fourth quarter, needs to show growth throughout the game. With running backs D’Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai, and receivers/tight ends Rome Odunze, DJ Moore, Luther Burden III, and Colston Loveland all returning, the Bears are in good shape to do well next season.
