Boardregeln » Chuck Pagano sat out one season. That apparently was long

enough away from coaching.The Bears have hired Pagano as their new defensive coordinator https://www.coltsfanshop.com/Kemoko-Turay-Jersey , replacing Vic Fangio, the team announced Friday night.Pagano, 58, spent six seasons as head coach of the Colts, going 53-43 in the regular season and 3-3 in the playoffs before Indianapolis fired him after the 2017 season. He spent last season as an NFL consultant.“We are excited to add Chuck to our staff as defensive coordinator Anthony Castonzo Jersey ,” Bears coach Matt Nagy said in a statement. “He has successful experience at many different levels in this league, and he is a great teacher with an aggressive mentality that fits our style of football. He is a man of high character and has a passion for the game that will no doubt add to the culture we have already started building at Halas Hall.”Pagano has coached in the NFL for 16 years.The Bears interviewed current defensive backs coach Ed Donatell and had interest in Todd Bowles before Bowles took the coordinator job in Tampa. A season that entailed eye-popping performances from quarterbacks, an epic 105-point prime-time game between the Chiefs and Rams, and an explosion of young quarterbacks who need to be groomed has created a rush for offensive coaches. And now the playoffs are here, and that could begin to change.It’s January. To no surprise Ryan Kelly Color Rush Jersey , defense is back. With plenty of quality defensive coaches in a pool that doesn’t feature an overabundance of offensive minds, the question becomes whether owners will decide to push away from the notion that they should look for the next McVay, Pederson, Nagy, etc.As one league source pointed out on Sunday https://www.coltsfanshop.com/Margus-Hunt-Jersey , the quest for the next great offensive mind could result in multiple unqualified coaches getting hired as head coaches. When it comes to hiring defensive coaches, the concern would be that the defensive coach would hire an offensive coordinator who performs well enough in the first year or two that he’d be gobbled up by someone else as a head coach, forcing the team to find another offensive coordinator.So why not make the offensive coordinator the head coach from the get go?Again, that could change. No jobs have been filled yet, and guys like Colts defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus Peyton Manning Jersey , Cowboys defensive backs coach/passing game coordinator Kris Richard, Bears defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz, and even Chargers defensive coordinator Gus Bradley could begin to get serious attention based on the wild-card games.
