Per multiple reports, the Chicago Bears are set to hire 28-year-old Declan Doyle as offensive coordinator. The Chicago Tribune’s Brad Biggs was the first to report that the former Denver Broncos tight ends coach would join Ben Johnson’s coaching staff. He’ll be the youngest offensive coordinator in the NFL.

Declan has served the last two years as Denver’s tight ends coach on Sean Payton’s Broncos staff. Before that, he worked as an offensive assistant for the New Orleans Saints from 2019 to 2022, and before that, he was an offensive student assistant for the University of Iowa from 2016 to 2018.

Declan’s new offensive staff includes offensive passing game coordinator/wide receivers coach Antwaan Randle El and quarterback coach J.T. Barrett.

While in New Orleans, he worked with the new Bears defensive coordinator, Dennis Allen, who had been the Saints’ head coach for the last three seasons.
