Dowell Loggains

See that little guy on the right side of the picture who looks like he might be a water boy?  That’s new Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains.  Adam Gase has taken his talents to South Beach while the diminutive Loggains is left in charge of the offense.

Loggains has limited play-calling experience.  During his stint with the Tennessee Titans, Loggains was promoted to OC after Mike Munchak was fired.  In 2013, his only full season as offensive coordinator, the Titans ranked 21st in the league in yards per play, however, they finished in the top-10 in red zone efficiency and third down conversions.

Loggains will also be working with John Fox and trying to implement an offense that suits Fox’s style.  I expect a conservative approach that will lean heavily on the run.  I’m not convinced Loggains can mesh his style with Fox’s.
