Finally, the Bears have their offensive coordinator. Mike Martz has been hired today as the Chicago Bears new offensive coordinator. I feel that Martz should have been the first and only guy interviewed for the job all along. Now Bears fans will have to wait and see whether head coach Lovie Smith abandons his "We get off the bus running" philosophy in favor of an offense that throws the ball downfield more. With Jay Cutler at QB, Greg Olsen, Desmond Clark, and Kellen Davis at TE, and Devin Aromashodu, Devin Hester, Johnny Knox, and Earl Bennett as the top 4 WRs, I'd like to see the Bears throw the ball around more than they have in the past. Obviously, Martz's hire doesn't solve the O-line's woes, Matt Forte's newfound ineffectiveness, Cutler's erratic play, or the raw talent of the WRs, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Martz will add at least 1-2 wins from the 7 the Bears notched last year. A healthy Urlacher, Briggs, Tillman, and Tommie Harris on the defensive side should also give this team a boost in 2010.
