Bears Part Ways With Offensive Coordinator
5 years agoThe Chicago Bears dismissed offensive coordinator Mark Helfrich, tight ends coach Kevin Gilbride, offensive line coach Harry Hiestand and assistant special teams coach Brock Olivo on Tuesday. With quarterback Mitch Trubisky taking a step backwards in 2020, Helfrich gets the axe. The Bears finished with 296.8 yards per game (fourth worst) and 17.5 points per game (also fourth worst in the NFL) under Helfrich and head coach Matt Nagy. The Bears will give Trubisky one last chance to prove he belongs under center as a starter in 2020, but they won't wait forever if he starts the year off slow. Chicago's pass-catchers -- Allen Robinson and Anthony Miller -- could be held hostage if the Bears situation under center becomes a rotating carousel next year.
