The Chicago Bears are shaking up their coaching staff after Eric Bieniemy’s move to Kansas City to run the Chiefs’ offense. 🏈🔥
What’s next
– The Bears will hunt for an RBs coach, with obvious candidates like Duce Staley or Darren Sproles in the mix. 🤔
– A bold, outside-the-box idea: former Bears star Matt Forte could be a surprising fit despite zero coaching experience. 🏈
Why Forte? The case for him
– Forte’s playing resume is elite: 9,796 rushing yards, 4,672 receiving yards, 75 total touchdowns, and two Pro Bowls. He’s also one of the franchise’s 100 greatest players. ⚡📊
– He’s highly respected in Halas Hall and has shown willingness to help the team, stressing the value of former players being in the building to inspire the next generation. 🔥
– If hired, Forte could bring real teaching credibility and leadership to the RB group, with the ability to connect with current players on a deep level. 🗣️
Caveats
– The main hurdle: Forte has no NFL coaching or college coaching experience, which could give Johnson and the staff pause. The Bears are known to value playing experience among their coaches. 🧭
Bottom line
– A Forte hire would be a surprising but intriguing move worth a sit-down to hear his vision. It’s one of those ideas that could pay off big if the veteran-mentality resonates with the current RBs and staff. 📈🏈
