5 candidates for Bears offensive coordinator

Following the Bears’ offensive struggles in 2019, they wasted no time in firing OC Mark Helfrich. Now, Matt Nagy is looking for a new OC.

The Bears could promote in-house for the offensive coordinator position, and someone that stands out is quarterbacks coach Dave Ragone, who has some required experience and an understanding of quarterback Mitchell Trubisky.

Ragone doesn’t have experience calling plays, but that’s not something he’d be responsible for with Nagy making the play calls. Although during the preseason, Nagy did give Ragone an opportunity to call plays during the first half of Chicago’s final preseason contest against the Titans.

Ragone has spent the last four years as quarterbacks coach with the Bears, first joining John Fox in 2016. Ragone previously served as a receivers and quarterbacks coach with the Titans over three seasons, as well as an offensive quality control coach for one season with the Redskins.
