The Chicago Bears are promoting passing game coordinator Press Taylor to offensive coordinator, according to a report from The Insiders. The move elevates Taylor to a primary leadership role under head coach Ben Johnson, providing the team with a new top lieutenant on the coaching staff.
Taylor brings significant play-calling experience to the position, having previously served as the offensive coordinator for the Jacksonville Jaguars through the 2024 season. After his tenure in Jacksonville, he joined Johnson’s staff in Chicago as the passing game coordinator. The promotion comes as Declan Doyle departs the organization for a role in Baltimore, opening the vacancy for Taylor to step into the coordinator role.
By promoting from within, the Bears look to maintain the offensive system established by Johnson. Taylor has been a respected figure in NFL coaching circles, particularly for his work with passing schemes and quarterback development. This internal hire ensures that the Bears offense will have a familiar voice leading the unit as they move forward into the next phase of the offseason.
