I read that Nagy put put a couple requests. Ragone may be goner but we'll see. Need a TE coach as well.

I'd rather not have any coaches associated with last year's offensive shitshow staying around.mmmc_35 wrote:They floated or the idea of keeping Ragone.DaSuperfan wrote:Has Nagy hired a QB Coach yet?

Not overly worried about the QB coach since that’s Nagy and Helfrich’s wheelhouse.

I'm not so sure about that. It makes sense to me that someone remains who knows the offensive players better than Pace.The Marshall Plan wrote:I'd rather not have any coaches associated with last year's offensive shitshow staying around.

I liked Ragone in college, I was a Ragone over Leftwich guy. So maybe I am biased.
You can't really grade him on much. He got shit canned with Logains in Tennessee. I guess we his don't know.

With Helfrich not calling plays, and the work he did at Oregon as OC/QB Coach, I wouldn't be surprised if he doubles as the QB Coach.wab wrote:Not overly worried about the QB coach since that’s Nagy and Helfrich’s wheelhouse.

Brock Olivo, who spent three years alongside Matt Nagy on the Chiefs coaching staff, was named the Bears’ assistant special teams coach Friday.
Olivo was the Broncos’ special teams coordinator last year after serving as Dave Toub’s assistant in Kansas City. Toub is a mentor to Chris Tabor, who the Bears named their special teams coordinator last week.

Donovan bounced around the NFL. He spent most of his time with the Rams. Had a couple stops in Tampa Bay. Was with the Bears for a cup of coffee in 2009. Spent time with the Steelers, Seahawks, and Redskins.
Not a very distinguished career, but not all bad.

Its usually those guys that have to work extra hard to try and prolong their careers, that end up being good X's & O's and technicians that make the best coaches.wab wrote:Donovan bounced around the NFL.

He was a grad assistant at UND working under Heistand, so the hire makes sense.Bears Whiskey Nut wrote:Its usually those guys that have to work extra hard to try and prolong their careers, that end up being good X's & O's and technicians that make the best coaches.wab wrote:Donovan bounced around the NFL.

So Nagy's bringing his mentor on board to help out:

Per @caplannfl, the Bears will hire Brad Childress as an offensive consultant. The Aurora native (Marmion Academy and EIU grad) and former Vikings head coach has been with Nagy in KC since 2013.

Nagy is also expected to hire a former teammate at Delaware, Brian Ginn, as an offensive assistant. Ginn coached QBs, WRs and TEs at Delaware over 17 seasons. Also was passing game coordinator, OC during his time there.

Let's try this again: #Bears are expected to hire former #Eagles LBs coach (2008-2010) Bill Shuey as a defensive asst. Shuey was a defensive coordinator at D-III Widener for several seasons. Coached with Nagy during their time with the #Eagles.

But seriously, I love that Nagy's bringing in a shitload of people. The more minds you have, the more flexibility, creativity, and versatility you can plumb into a gameplan.
