Bears hiring Press Taylor as pass game coordinator

The Bears plan to hire former Jaguars offensive coordinator Press Taylor as their passing-game coordinator under coach Ben Johnson and offensive coordinator Declan Doyle, a source said Wednesday night.

Not every team has that role on its staff, though Thomas Brown had the title at the beginning of this season before moving up to offensive coordinator and interim coach.

Taylor, 37, spent the last three seasons as Jaguars offensive coordinator under coach Doug Pederson. When Pederson was fired and the Jaguars hired Buccaneers offensive coordinator Liam Coen as their new coach, Taylor became a free agent.

Taylor has no work history with Johnson or Doyle. He got his start in NFL coaching with the Eagles in 2013 under coach Chip Kelly and stayed on staff under Pederson.

Taylor was the Eagles’ quarterbacks coach from 2018 to ’20 and was their passing-game coordinator his last season. He was an assistant for the Colts in 2021, when Matt Eberflus was their defensive coordinator, before rejoining Pederson in 2022.
