Bears Promote Passer to OC Role to Replace Doles, Says Coach Johnson.
Bears coach Ben Johnson has decided to retain the services of passing game coordinator Press Taylor as the new offensive coordinator after his predecessor Declan Doyle left for the Ravens just a little while ago.
The Bears have a relatively simple situation when it comes to changing coordinators, since they use an existing system and he is their play-caller. This will prevent any major disruption in the team's offense.
Taylor, who was the Jaguars' coordinator from 2022-24 before joining Johnson's staff, won a Super Bowl with the Eagles as assistant quarterbacks coach in 2017. When asked about his experience working with quarterback Caleb Williams and what role Taylor plays on game days, he replied that his job is to feed information to coaches.
Taylor has been with the Bears since last season and worked alongside Doyle and Johnson to fine-tune the team's offense. The new OC will be able to pick up where Doyle left off and get back into a routine right away.
The Bears are not expected to need any significant changes in their offense, given that Taylor is well-versed in the system and Johnson oversees everything from play-calling to personnel decisions.
Taylor began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Tulsa before becoming an assistant coach for the Eagles under coaches Chip Kelly and Doug Pederson. He has extensive experience working with quarterbacks, having led the team's offense since 2018.
The Bengals are coached by Taylor’s older brother Zac.

Caleb Williams' old coach is now OC at the Bears and it sounds like he's gonna be a feeder system expert 
Just what we need more information to tell coaches what to do. And to make matters worse, the Bengals are getting a new coach with a Taylor pedigree - talk about nepotism 
. Press Taylor's been here for like last season, what did he do there that was so impressive? and now the Bears just hand him the OC job without even bothering to have an interview process? classic move, I'm sure it'll all fall apart soon 
.
... Declan Doyle just left for the Ravens and now it's all about Press Taylor taking over, seems pretty convenient for the Bears 
I mean, Taylor was already working with Doyle and Johnson last season, so it's like he was meant to be the new OC from the start 
Coach Johnson knows what he's doing, and with Taylor on board, I think they'll stick to their game plan and do just fine 
, I'm glad the Bears went with Press Taylor to replace Doles as OC! He seems like a solid pick, considering he's already familiar with their system and has worked well under Ben Johnson. It's great that they're sticking with what works, you know? 
Taylor's experience working with QBs is huge, especially since Caleb Williams is their QB now 
. Honestly, I'm not surprised - Taylor's been with the team since last season and already knows the system inside out 
. The fact that they won't need to make major changes to their offense is definitely a plus - Taylor can just pick up where Doyle left off and get back into the swing of things ASAP 
. Can't wait to see how this all plays out! 
. By keeping Press Taylor in the OC role, it shows that the team values continuity over making a big change. But is this a sign of inexperience at the top? Are they too hesitant to take risks on their coaching staff? I think we should ask ourselves if this is really the best move for the team's growth 
. Do the Bears need more competition and fresh ideas to stay ahead of the curve? The passing game coordinator has been with them since last season, but what about new blood and new perspectives? 
Like, Press Taylor is a total boss in his role and I can see why coach Johnson stuck with him 
. Plus, Taylor has so much experience working with QBs, it's like he's got this 
. I'm all about it! 
the fact that taylor has experience working with QBs is a huge plus too! can't wait to see how this all plays out, i'm def rooting for the bears 
. And let's be real, Press Taylor has been quietly building up experience with Caleb Williams and will definitely pick up where Doyle left off... without any major changes to the offense, that is 
. What about the Ravens getting their hands on some Bears intel? 
they got a solid OC in Press Taylor who knows their system inside out so hopefully they can stick to what worked before and just build on that 
Caleb Williams is gonna love having someone like him around, he's all about getting info from the QB coach and then feeding that back to the OC
