Why are you shaking your head? Do you honestly expect us to pluck a current NFL QB Coach from their team?
The Bears were 7-3 when Cutler got hurt, and Cutler was having a fine season.
I really don't understand why the Bears cut Martz and Day loose. They flopped when Cutler got hurt.
There are few teams in the NFL who could lose their starting QB and continue to win.
Edit : I just read that Lovie Smith cited "philisophical differences" as his reason for firing Martz. Okay, I guess.

Hard to find any data on him, so I had to settle for this.
First impressions: young guy, will probably come cheap-ish. Also if he worked with Mike Martz in SF and Chicago, Martz's QB's historically got the snot beat out of them so I would hope he'd just stick with teaching QB techniques and stay well away from the playbook...

George Deleone is the offensive coordinator. It's his playbook.

Probably shrinks the pool a bit, but shouldn't be a major hold-up. There should be plenty of candidates...
With that said, this is taking a long time. My guess is, with recruiting being the top priority, this is being back-burnered to a certain extent.

Like it too. This year he was a QB coach in the NFL. Next year he will be the QB coach at UConn. It doesn't get much better than that as a hire goes.

Site is also reporting Jordan Orlovsky as a defensive grad assistant? Any relation?

if the QB's play well he's gone (to a better job) and if they play poorly he's gone.

But isn't this true of any assistant coach? Any of them could get a great offer after doing a great job here. Conversely, if they don't do well....they could be replaced or at least moved into another position. So I'm not sure what your point might be here, in how this is different.
Personally, I like the hire. He's coming with NFL experience, just as Pasqualoni and DeLeone did. He had a chance to work with a very good offensive mind in Martz for three seasons. In fact, Martz thought so much of him, he brought Day along with him to Chicago when he left SF.
This will also be his first opportunity to the head QB coach at the BCS level. I'm glad he's up for that challenge. He's younger too, which adds an element most of us were seeking as well. Hopefully his recruiting ability will be another positive...only time will tell!

Fans really don't have a clue how good position coaches are, even if they've been with you for a long while. You see how their students do, but you don't know if it's all the players, or if other coaches are part of teaching that group. That having been said, I don't see any reason why anyone would be questioning this hire. On paper this looks very good.
