2.  David Culley

This is a lesser-known coach, but his resume could add a spark to this offense. Like all of these options, they know Matt Nagy through Andy Reid. Culley was the wide receivers coach in Philadelphia from 1999-2012, serving as a senior offensive assistant in 2011 and 2012.

When Reid moved to Kansas City, Culley did as well with the role of Assistant Head coach and wide receivers coach. He stayed with the team through 2016 but left at the same time Matt Nagy did.

Culley joined Sean McDermott with the Buffalo Bills. McDermott was the Eagles defensive coordinator while Culley was in Philadelphia. Culley served as the quarterbacks coach in Buffalo. After spending two years with the Bills, he took a job with the Ravens as an assistant head coach and wide receivers coach role this season.

His first year in Baltimore has gone swimmingly.  Of course, Culley knows Harbaugh because Harbaugh was the special teams coach for the Eagles from 1999-2007.

So, we know Culley has moved up the ranks from Reid to McDermott to Harbaugh, all friends he made through his time with the Eagles.

Culley has worked with Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson, two quarterbacks who are currently having the success the Bears want to have with Trubisky.

If the Bears offered him a promotion to his first job as offensive coordinator, would he join another friend, and bring some of that Baltimore wisdom?
