BearFan PHX Posted Monday at 09:13 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 09:13 PM It's not signed sealed or delivered yet, but it sounds like Dennis Allen is our likely DC. He's been a head coach twice, so it's not likely he will get another head coaching job soon. He's an aggressive coach who wont sit back in zone all the time. We will live and die by this, but at least our players will get the chance to compete and dominate. Here's an article about his scheme that goes pretty deep in details. https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-new-orleans-saints-dennis-allen-defense-buccaneers-tom-brady-week-15-2021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted yesterday at 02:18 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 02:18 AM I think he is a good hire if it happens. I like aggressive coaches. I wonder if they're any players that played for him available in free agency? Do you think he would consider Tom Brown as a assistant coach? Not OC but QB coach, he was doing fine with Caleb until he was made to be HC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He led some real good defenses under Sean Payton despite Saints always pouring a ton of resources into the offense. Plus I just like how Ben has the swagger and comfort to have strong coaches like this around him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t mind Brown and think he will end up getting a head coaching job one day - but I think Bears need to move on from him. Let Johnson bring in his own guys.

Im SO sick of sitting back in a zone on 3rd down. We will get burned sometimes too, but at least the players can compete. He also has a rep for getting into QBs heads, and he has been especially successful against Brady, so thats a good sign too. Having to play a more aggressive defense in practice will be good for Caleb too. It wont all be text book zones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The days of the Bears front office thinking they know best have GOT to be over. Asking about Tom Brown working here refers to Johnson wanting him here, the brass interfering in hires is over. I suggest seeing he worked with Caleb in a positive way may incite Johnson to hire him as a QB coach? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DABEARSDABOMB Posted yesterday at 05:45 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 05:45 AM Sounds like bears have to interview some candidates before this can be official. But Allen is known as an aggressive DC - pretty blitz heavy with exotic schemes. Chase Young had a bounce back season - finished the year real strong. Could be an option to help with pass rush and if Bears get Allen and Saints special teams guy they at least should know whether he’s worth it or not (say a 2hr deal since I don’t think Chase was good enough to get a huge long term deal).

I dont think its a matter of him being good so much as teaching Johnson's way of thinking, and i have no reason to think brown is familiar with Johnson's style, terminology and approach? Obviously if Johnson wants him, I'm all for it - whoever he wants. But DBDB is right, it has to be Johnson's call from the beginning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And coaches especially. I expect Johnson to bring in a top notch OL coach. That will make a huge difference for us. Johnson really knows run blocking schemes, and has successful run blocking rules, and we have been trash at that for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted 17 hours ago Report Share Posted 17 hours ago I seen where someone mentioned the OL coach of Lions as the new OC. It would be a promotion and Ben is calling the plays anyway. Never heard of a OL becoming a OC before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All pro center who coached an all pro center. Gimme Dennis Allen too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted 14 hours ago Report Share Posted 14 hours ago Allen would be a great hire, someone with HC experience and is one of the better defensive play callers in the NFL. So the Bears could possibly have 2x top 5 play callers on both sides of the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinger226 Posted 6 hours ago Report Share Posted 6 hours ago Johnson had to know early he was coming here to have the lineup card ready to go. No one will say it, but as soon as our season ended, all parties had to know he was coming here. That's why there was no money negotiation.
