The Bears made a significant move, keeping special teams coordinator Dave Toub by signing him to a two-year contract extension.

 

Arguably the league’s best special teams coach, Toub was a candidate for the Miami Dolphins head coaching vacancy.

 

According to NFL Network, Toub will be paid $1 million a year, ranking him among the league’s highest-paid special teams coordinators.

 

He deserves the distinction.

 

Toub’s unit had a standout 2011 season, and they finished third in a ranking system by the Dallas Morning News. Toub’s unit has now ranked in the top third of the league for the last eight seasons, including at No. 1 in 2006 and 2007.

 

Special teams ace Corey Graham will make his first Pro Bowl appearance later this month. Under Toub, Devin Hester, Johnny Knox, Robbie Gould and Brendon Ayanbadejo also have made Pro Bowl appearances.

 

During his tenure, the Bears have 22 kick return touchdowns, the most in the league during that span. This past season, free-agent punter Adam Podlesh had his finest season, setting a franchise record with a net punting average of 40.4.
