Bears Hire Dennis Allen, Declan Doyle For Coordinator Roles
The Chicago Bears have added Dennis Allen and Declan Doyle to their coaching staff, according to Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com. Allen will be the Bears' new defensive coordinator while Doyle takes over as their offensive coordinator. These are two flashy hires for the Bears and their new head coach, Ben Johnson. As Johnson rounds out his coaching staff, he will have two highly-regarded coaches working for him. Allen has delivered subpar results as a head coach with the Raiders and Saints, but he was a solid defensive coordinator in Denver and New Orleans. Meanwhile, Doyle is an emerging face in coaching circles at just 28 years old. Interestingly, both Allen and Doyle worked alongside Dan Campbell in New Orleans, so perhaps the Lions' head coach passed along a favorable review of the two coordinators. Campbell and Johnson worked together closely for seven years between Miami and Detroit.
