In my eyes, there’s no better fit to be the next head coach of the Chicago Bears than Fightin’ Frank Reich. Reich has played an integral role in the development of Carson Wentz and helped create a juggernaut of an offense in Philadelphia. Before that, he helped Philip Rivers to two outstanding seasons when he was the offensive coordinator of the San Diego Chargers.

Reich has been around NFL locker rooms since 1985 as a quarterback. He backed up Jim Kelly during the Bills’ Super Bowl years and the younger readers may not know, he led the greatest comeback in NFL history when Kelly was injured, rallying the Bills from a 35-3 third quarter deficit to the Houston Oilers in the AFC playoffs and led them to a 41-38 victory. That type of performance will garner respect from every man in that locker room.

Reich appreciates cold weather football, knows how to take command of a team and get respect in the locker room, and has shown the ability to develop a quarterback and lead a high-powered offense. What else would Ryan Pace possibly want in a head coach?

Odds on being the next head coach: 5 to 1
