Bears make a decision on their two new coordinator hires


Tony Crumpton Tony Crumpton  ·  Senior Editor ·  

The Chicago Bears are set to hire former New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen as their defensive coordinator and former tight ends coach Declan Doyle as their offensive coordinator.

Both coaches have worked under Sean Payton, likely earning big recommendations from him.

Allen brings a wealth of experience as a defensive coordinator, which will allow head coach Johnson and Doyle to focus their efforts on developing the offensive side of the ball, particularly with quarterback Caleb Williams.

Allen consistently fielded top-tier defensive units during his time with the Saints.

At just 28 years old, Doyle ties Sean McVay as the youngest offensive coordinator in NFL history, making him an intriguing hire for the Bears.

Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
