Then a good hire on multiple levels!  Assuming the brothers get along…

I don’t know that it is a good hire. The Bears have one of the worst offensive lines in the league.

Yes please.  Chicago bears line coach

Hes the assistant OL coach not the OL coach. So he's like a department supervisor and not department manager

And as I’ve said above, the Bears have an absolutely terrible offensive line.

Wild that we are hearing about position coaches rumors and nothing on OC. I’d think they’d have locked down OC before they would even consider position coaches. 

Makes me wonder if the Mickey Joseph name is actually for OC, not WR. 
 

I remember a couple years ago when Frost was after him Joseph supposedly wanted to be OC and we wouldn’t give him that.

I can't see the OC being to far from from what they currently run. It's not like Frost has the luxury of time like a new HC in year one where he can afford to make some mistakes along the way while they learn a new system. They've got to hit the ground running and win from the first game on. Another year like this year while the team adapts to a new system and Frost will be long gone (like he should already have been).

 

I think the only way we have a prayer at sniffing a bowl game next season is if we adapt to a new system.

 

It's like, the reason the entire side of the ball was fired.

 

If we're just going to run the duck sh!t offense again what was the point of any of it?

The bears offensive line is horrible….

Know why before jumping.  Injuries have devastated their offense line.

I’m a Bears fan, I know plenty. I know that the offensive line was horrible prior to any injuries as well.

It’s been terrible for the entire time Raiola has been there. He’s not the actual Oline coach so he shouldn’t shoulder all the blame, and I’m not even saying he’s a bad coach, but “he’s the bears oline coach” is absolutely not a selling point

I am too.  It's partially the manager fault as they spent more money on Def then the line

Good point, Joseph or someone else green that doesn’t have the connections of a veteran OC. No veteran OC is letting someone else pick their assistants.

I’m not even saying Raiola is at fault at all, didn’t mean for it to come off that way. Just saying being associated with the bears isn’t a selling point lol. He has pedigree as a stud lineman at Wisconsin though so who knows what kind of coach he will be. Would prefer we get someone more established but would give Raiola a shot

Beckton would stay wrong & te, leaving room for a st coach

In our situation, we might not have a choice and almost anyone would be better than Austin.
