The Bears offense wasn’t good enough last season. Heck, they weren’t even decent. They ranked near the bottom of nearly every statistical category and were the main reason they failed to live up to the lofty expectations placed upon them. Which led to the firings of offensive coordinator Mark Helfrich, offensive line coach Harry Hiestand and tight ends coach Kevin Gilbride.

But Matt Nagy’s newest additions to his coaching staff have generated a positive buzz, bringing new voices and years of coaching experience to the table. Offensive coach Bill Lazor and quarterbacks coach John DeFilippo are tasked with fixing quarterback Mitchell Trubisky, who regressed in his third season. Offensive line coach Juan Castillo will tackle fixing the ailing run game, while tight ends coach Clancy Barone has a tough task ahead in fixing the tight end deficiencies.
