The Chicago Bears must accept they need a new head coach and quarterback situation in 2021.
The Chicago Bears are not a good football team because of the offense’s continued ineptitude.
Who cares if the Bears are 5-4? They are going nowhere with Ryan Pace as their general manager, Matt Nagy as their head coach and either Nick Foles or Mitchell Trubisky as their starting quarterback. Chicago needs to clean house and start over again on the offense. Getting a new offensive-minded head coach and starting quarterback at the very least resets the franchise.
Here are three head coach/quarterback combos to fix the Bears in 2021
3. Zach Wilson (BYU quarterback), Josh McDaniels (Patriots OC)
This pairing comes down to a handful of things. Will the talented BYU Cougars quarterback Zach Wilson leave Provo a year early? Does Josh McDaniels finally leave the New England Patriots to become an NFL head coach for the second time? Wilson has set the Group of 5 on fire this season, forcing his way into the Heisman Trophy conversation. McDaniels is already a proven commodity.
The Bears had great team success the last time they had a notable BYU alum under center in Jim McMahon. Wilson’s ability to stretch the field with his arm and make plays with his legs make him a serious 2021 NFL Draft prospect. Ultimately, McDaniels will have to decide if he is long for New England, does he want to be an NFL head coach again and if Wilson can be his Chicago star.
