5 takeaways from Bears’ new offensive coaching staff

There’s plenty to unpack here, given the direction of Matt Nagy’s new offensive coaching staff, including the value of experience.

3. If John DeFilippo can’t get the best out of Mitchell Trubisky, no one can

The hiring of John DeFilippo as quarterbacks coach is a move that should benefit Mitchell Trubisky and the other quarterbacks Chicago brings in this offseason.

Given Trubisky’s regression last season, a change had to be made. And since Chicago is stuck with Trubisky for at least another season, they made several changes to the coaching staff that will be tasked with salvaging his Bears career. While DeFilippo has struggled in his last two stops as offensive coordinator in Minnesota and Jacksonville, his work with quarterbacks is impressive. He was the QB coach in Philadelphia when Carson Wentz had his MVP-caliber season, before suffering a season-ending injury.

There are frustrations with Trubisky’s struggles, but if there’s anyone that can get something out of him, it’s DeFilippo. And if not, it’s time to move on from Trubisky.
