"But now that Nguyen offers up the idea, I'm not wholly opposed to it. However, I feel as if Kingsbury getting job would work out better for him than it would for the Bears - which makes for an odd fit. Joining forces with Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson could help Kingsbury repair his reputation after being dumped by the Washington Commanders earlier in the offseason. Plus, as Nguyen points out, it would benefit Kliff Kingsbury to learn an offense that operates primarily under center."
"On top of that, I think it would boost his stock to do the type of grunt work that goes with being a non-play-calling offensive coordinator. It would be a humbling and educational experience for Kliff Kingsbury, but it would also be beneficial for someone who might have higher aspirations than being an offensive play-caller for a defensive-minded head coach - which is a position he'd land in if he ended up taking an offensive coordinator job with a team like the New York Jets."
Kliff Kingsbury emerged as a potential Chicago Bears offensive coordinator candidate. Joining Ben Johnson's staff could help Kingsbury repair his reputation after being fired by the Washington Commanders. Experience learning an offense that operates primarily under center would broaden his skill set and boost his résumé. Serving as a non–play-calling offensive coordinator would offer humbling, educational grunt work that could increase his coaching stock. Prior experience coaching quarterback Caleb Williams could provide value to the Bears, but hiring Kingsbury appears to promise greater benefit to Kingsbury himself than to the Bears franchise, making the fit uncertain.
