Dave Wannstedt: Hiring Kliff Kingsbury would be the ‘worst mistake’ Bears could make originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago
Get ready Chicago Bears fans, as the team is expected to interview Kliff Kingsbury for their opening at offensive coordinator. Kingsbury, known for his pass-heavy scheme, has caught the attention of the Bears’ coaching staff. Exciting news for the team, right?
But not everyone is sold on Kingsbury. Former Bears head coach Dave Wannstedt is strongly against Kingsbury’s pass-heavy scheme, emphasizing the need for a strong run game to support the passing game. Wannstedt’s opinion brings an interesting perspective to the table, doesn’t it?
“I like Kliff, he’s a good guy,” Wannstedt told Parkins & Spiegel on 670 The Score. “But that would be the worst mistake Eberlfus could make. Now, if they’re gonna hire him as quarterbacks coach that might be good if they draft Caleb Williams. That all makes sense.”
Wannstedt’s relationship with Kingsbury adds a layer of complexity to the situation. While he acknowledges Kingsbury’s great offensive mind, he’s not entirely on board with him being the offensive coordinator. Quite a debate brewing here!
While the team has largely focused on coaches from specific coaching trees, Kingsbury’s unique offensive style is a departure. Known for his “air raid” offense, which emphasizes a pass-first scheme, Kingsbury brings a fresh perspective to the table. The coaching staff has certainly got some tough decisions to make, don’t they?
To further complicate the situation, the team interviewed Los Angeles Rams quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator Zac Robinson on Thursday, and reportedly requested to interview Eagles senior offensive assistant Marcus Brady on Thursday as well. The plot thickens, doesn’t it?
With Kingsbury now the ninth person we know of that the Bears have either interviewed or requested to interview for their OC position, the coaching staff certainly has a lot to consider. Exciting times for Bears fans, isn’t it? Click here to follow the Under Center Podcast for more updates.
