Former Bears head coach Dave Wannstedt: Kliff Kingsbury isn’t the right OC fit for Chicago

USC fans will look at Kliff Kingsbury and say he didn’t make a big difference for Caleb Williams in 2023.

Rumors are circulating that the Chicago Bears could hire Kliff Kingsbury as offensive coordinator, presumably to pair with Caleb Williams once they take the USC quarterback with the top pick in the 2024 NFL draft.

Signs are increasingly pointing to the Bears keeping their pick and taking Caleb Williams, as opposed to trading for assets and rebuilding around Justin Fields.

Bears Wire has more on former Chicago head coach Dave Wannstedt saying Kliff Kingsbury would be a bad choice as the offensive coordinator for the team:

“’I like Kliff, he’s a good guy,’ Wannstedt told the Parkins & Spiegel Show on 670 The Score. ‘But that would be the worst mistake (Matt) Eberflus could make. Now, if they’re gonna hire him as quarterbacks coach that might be good if they draft Caleb Williams. That all makes sense.'”

Bears Wire continued:

“If Chicago truly is leaning Williams in the NFL draft — and want to go elsewhere at offensive coordinator — perhaps adding Kingsbury in a quarterbacks coach/pass game coordinator role could be an option.”
