The faction of Bears fans that believed offensive coordinator Luke Getsy was the sole reason for the team’s failed passing attack were proven wrong in the days following Getsy’s firing.
The Patriots called to interview him for their offensive coordinator job. So did the Saints. Earlier this month, the Raiders hired him to call plays despite the fact that Getsy had never met head coach Antonio Pierce before their job interview.
The implication of Getsy’s league-wide popularity is that teams pointed to quarterback Justin Fields as one reason — if not the reason — why the Bears had the league’s fewest passing yards from 2022-23.
