5. New offensive coaches should bring something to the table
Some of the biggest offseason moves happened before the start of free agency and the NFL Draft. Nagy brought in four new offensive coaches in offensive coordinator Bill Lazor, quarterbacks coach John DeFilippo, offensive line coach Juan Castillo and tight ends coach Clancy Barone. It’s no coincidence that they all specialize in areas where Chicago struggled immensely in 2019.
Nagy has said it’ll be a more collaborative effort among the offense this season. Nagy will remain the play-caller in 2020, but he’ll have experienced offensive minds to help keep the offense together. The Bears plan to execute their offense like the Philadelphia Eagles, where the head coach is responsible for calling plays, the offensive coordinator runs unit and staff meetings and specific coaches are responsible for individual parts of the offense (red zone, run game, etc.).
