MIAMI -- We promised a quick decision on Chicago’s offensive coordinator job, and ESPN.com’s John Clayton has delivered. It’s going to be former St. Louis coach Mike Martz, the candidate I’ve considered the best quick-fix option available to the Bears.
I’m currently at the New Orleans Saints’ interview session and will come back a bit later with further analysis. But the bottom line is this: Martz’s experience and past success with quarterbacks will give him as good of a chance as anyone to elevate the Bears’ explosiveness.
He has his own pocks, but the Bears weren’t going to hire the perfect candidate after missing the playoffs in three consecutive seasons. I consider Martz the best they could have done under the circumstances.
More in a bit.
