When the Chicago Bears hired Declan Doyle as their offensive coordinator last offseason, a lot of fans weren't sure what to make of the move. He came from the Denver Broncos, where he learned under Sean Payton, so that was a huge positive.
But, with Ben Johnson calling plays, would Doyle's position really matter?
Early in some teams' offseasons, we've seen the answer is a resounding 'yes.' Doyle has been in the mix for jobs elsewhere, including the offensive coordinator position for the Philadelphia Eagles, where he'd get to call plays. As a coordinator who doesn't get to call plays under Johnson, doing so for a recent Super Bowl winner, with so much talent, is a huge opportunity.
