The Bears Have Promoted Press Taylor To Offensive Coordinator — And Why It’s A Gamble

Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson has spent the past several days vetting possible candidates for the team’s offensive coordinator position. Declan Doyle departed for the same job in Baltimore, getting the chance to call plays and work with two-time MVP Lamar Jackson. After meeting with Arizona passing game coordinator Connor Senger and some other undisclosed candidates, Johnson elected to keep the job in-house. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported the team was promoting passing game coordinator Press Taylor to the position.
