January 27, 201214 yr comment_100732 per the score website and bradd biggs: (CBS) The Bears have only interviewed one candidate for their open passing coordinator/quarterback coach position, but that man turned down their offer and instead joined the Jaguars’ staff. 670 The Score contributor Brad Biggs reports on the Chicago Tribune web site that Greg Olson was offered the job by Lovie Smith, but instead went to Jacksonville. The Jaguars gave him the title of assistant head coach in addition to being the quarterbacks coach and offered him a three-year contract. The Bears only offered two years. Olson was previously the Bears’ quarterbacks coach in 2003. http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2012/01/27/rep...rs-for-jaguars/ Report
January 27, 201214 yr comment_100733 Once the Bears get done with their temper tantrum I bet they contact Jeremy Bates again. It's getting kind of embarrassing I would think. Report
January 27, 201214 yr comment_100735 I think they are taking there time and making sure they get the GM in place. Either way, the assistant head coach title and more pay, is something pretty tough to beat. So I really am not at all surprised the Bears weren't able to hire him. Report
January 27, 201214 yr comment_100743 I still think the Bears will hire Clyde Christensen as the passing game coordinator. He is still under contract with the Colts (currently the OC) but my guess is he will be fired now that they've hired their head coach. Report
