When looking at young defensive coaches, the Bears need to start with coach Jay Rodgers. Rodgers has been in service since the John Fox era, and it’s easy to see why the defensive line was one of the best units during the period.
Rodgers served as a defensive assistant / coach at the Broncos from 2009-2014 before joining Fox in Chicago, where he served as the Bears’ defensive coach.
While Rodgers does not have an experience of defense coordinator like the others on this list, everyone needs to start somewhere. Just look at Brandon Staley, a former Bears coach who became the Rams’ defense coordinator. Chicago should consider Rodgers for the job.
