On this episode of Football Night in Chicago, Laurence Holmes is joined by former Chicago Bears coach Dave Wannstedt to discuss the Bears’ OTAs during the current NFL offseason. Wannstedt shares insights on player expectations from his coaching days, the new kickoff rule for the upcoming NFL season, and what the Bears should expect from former USC Trojan and 2022 Heisman winner, Caleb Williams.
In past January, Wannstedt made headlines with his comments about the Bears’ offensive coordinator search. He mentioned Kliff Kingsbury as a potential candidate, stating that choosing him would be a mistake for the team. Instead, Wannstedt suggested that Kingsbury could be a good fit as a quarterbacks coach if the Bears were to draft Caleb Williams.
Ultimately, Kliff Kingsbury was hired as the offensive coordinator for the Washington Commanders, where he will be coaching Jayden Daniels, the No. 2 pick in the draft after Caleb Williams won the Heisman Trophy in 2023. Wannstedt’s insights and predictions continue to be a topic of discussion for football fans and analysts alike.
