madlithuanian Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 http://www.suntimes.com/sports/10066011-41...with-bears.html Dave Toub signs extension with Bears BY SEAN JENSEN sjensen@suntimes.com January 17, 2012 1:27PM Reprints RELATED STORIES Mike Martz retires from coaching Updated: January 17, 2012 1:40PM 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.

Connorbear Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 HELL YES. Now it's time for him to get Hester back focused for an explosive 2012 season. The end of last year was a health issue for Hester. He should have been held out. I look for him to have another stellar season.
