Chargers' tight ends/assistant head coach Rob Chudzinski is the latest name to surface as a Bears offensive coordinator candidate.

Rob Chudzinski – Come on down!!!  You’re the next contestant on The Great Coordinator Search 2010!

As quickly as I can fire off the latest Bears coordinator candidate names, the quicker the candidates wind up elsewhere.   Chan Gailey: Bears offensive coordinator candidate one day, Buffalo Bills head coach tomorrow.  Mike Nolan: Bears’ defensive coordinator candidate today, Miami Dolphins DC… later that day.  That’s just the way this coordinator search will go with Lame Duck Lovie at the helm.

“Chud,” as he’s called, is the Chargers assistant head coach/tight ends coach.  He served as OC for the Cleveland Browns for a couple of seasons before his most recent post in San Diego.  In fact, in 2007 he guided Cleveland’s offense to finish the season as the 8th ranked offense.  Yes, those Cleveland Browns.  He also served as tight ends coach and later OC for University of Miami, where he was part of a couple of National Championship teams in the late 80′s.

On the surface, it seems like a decent fit.  He’s worked with a bratty QB – Phillip Rivers – and a marquee tight end in Antonio Gates.  We’ve got one of those and a wannabe/supposed to be.  I’ll let you figure which is which.   (more…)
