NFL world reacts to Bears hiring Declan Doyle as offensive coordinator

Don't know much about him if I'm being honest, but Ben Johnson is calling the plays anyways so there's opportunities to take chances to develop these young coaches https://t.co/5Xma13JjeN

Not sure how I feel about this one. I'd rather have a more veteran coordinator in there. But I guess we'll see. https://t.co/lcl65oG3cB

I believe this is the first coordinator-level coach younger than me. We’re entering a dark era. https://t.co/qDyErlsYL2

Had him in my top 3 most likely. This is a big step and a huge youth movement for #DaBears

Clearly there is a lot of Sean Payton in Ben Johnson https://t.co/gGbnGYBcAE

We are finally in the “he played Madden online” era of offensive coordinators and I’m here for it https://t.co/njgnW1sdxF

This is super cool to see. I imagine it takes a lot of strength and conditioning to rise to a point like this so quickly.

For more info search up “Doyle strength and conditioning coach” for more info on Declan and his family. https://t.co/vjIw9sHniR

This is an interesting move…but excited to see what he brings to the coaching staff.

ONLY 28 YEARS OLD!!!! https://t.co/47M0ZXE2k8

Sean Payton clearly likes him bc he brought him over from the saints and gave him a promotion and he knows what he’s doing when it comes to his staff so I like this hire https://t.co/ys6eFDtNB7

Oh this is interesting

Don’t know anything about him but 28 years old is crazy https://t.co/bu2MUceN8k

I bet Ben Johnson sees a lot of himself in Declan Doyle. Ben was a tight ends coach multiple times for moving up the ranks and -- like Doyle -- learned under some really good coaching minds. https://t.co/l2Ju7ysyBP

Took me about 5 mins to figure this out

Sean Mcvay was an offensive assist for a years

Become a TE coach for a few years

Around 27 & 28 became the OC for WAS

The Bears have the next Mcvay in house https://t.co/bkwyk172gJ

Between this and Campbell trying to hire from Denver, the influence of Sean Payton on Ben Johnson’s offense is pretty clear.

It’s been compared to Shanahan, but it’s Payton. https://t.co/ZKPGJt2eJI

I'm intrigued. He's from the Sean Payton tree, so it works for me. https://t.co/Qs7oYQn9al

One of the brightest minds in the game! Congratulations!! @CoachDDoyle https://t.co/ZNu2VxSZs0

Marcedes Lewis about to be 12 years older than his OC. https://t.co/3GiA9RxS7v

I don't really know how to feel about this but I guess I feel uninspired. He has a short history of coaching but his short track record doesn't show anything promising. https://t.co/LzDds2snP5

Ben Johnson had to have seen something in the guy to bring in a 28-year old OC as a first time head coach.

Not a big name hire but I like it considering we got Dennis Allen at DC https://t.co/9GZ05HkchU
