jetscanes331 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Matt Cavanaugh is the new Bears quarterbacks coach Posted by Josh Alper on January 18, 2013, 11:31 AM EST Getty Images Marc Trestman’s hired a new quarterbacks coach for the Chicago Bears. The Bears announced Friday that Matt Cavanaugh will take over the job most recently held by Jeremy Bates, who was let go when Trestman came aboard. Cavanaugh spent the last four years as the quarterbacks coach for the Jets before getting jettisoned along with offensive coordinator Tony Sparano at the end of a dismal season for the Jets offense. While with the Jets in 2012, Cavanaugh had an opportunity to work with Tim Tebow. As Florio pointed out earlier this week, Trestman also has connections to Tebow. Trestman worked with him before the 2010 draft and coaching a Montreal Alouettes team that holds the CFL rights to the player who was discussed a lot while being used rarely with the Jets. There’s no reason to think Tebow’s headed for the Windy City at this point, although the familiarity does offer up a potential landing spot for a player without many others. The Bears have also hired Skip Peete to be their running backs coach. Peete was let go by the Cowboys earlier this month after Dallas posted the fewest rushing yards in a season for the franchise since the NFL moved to a 16-game schedule.

SenorGato Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 As if Cutler didn't have enough working against him with that garbahge OL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CM28 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 This will be interesting to follow, no matter what the outcome will be. We wil off course assume this is a bust hire. But imagine that he is successful, what that is saying about Sanchite and the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetscanes331 Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 I'm pretty sure Cavanaugh has never had a QB that finished in the top 10/15 of the league. He stunk in Baltimore before he came to us too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green DNA Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I have wonder what in Cavanaugh's body of work convinced Trestman that this was a good hire. Sanchez regressed dramatically under his tutelage to the point where even the most basic of his throwing mechanics were a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack48 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 So Cutler won't be throwing deep next year either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleedin Green Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Cavanaugh: "Now remember Jay, when you see a WR wide open, be sure to stare him down while pump faking towards him at least 3 times before throwing it to him.

slats Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Cavanaugh and Tebow worked so well in NY, can only imagine it would work even better in Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetscanes331 Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 Word. NFL coaches never seem to take enough guff. Yet Sporano has gone from OL - OC - HC - OC - probably back to OL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
