About Press Taylor
Press Taylor is the Bears' offensive coordinator, the man who calls the plays that Caleb Williams executes, which means he gets full credit when the offense scores 40 and full blame when they punt three times in a row. His name trends on Twitter after every single Bears game, and the sentiment swings wildly depending on the final score. Taylor worked under Ben Johnson and was trusted with the play sheet, which is either a sign of immense confidence in his abilities or the coaching equivalent of handing the car keys to your teenager and hoping for the best.
The 2025 season put Taylor under a microscope unlike any coordinator in Bears history. Every play call was dissected in real time by thousands of fans who have strong opinions about RPOs and screen passes. When Caleb threw for 350 yards, Taylor was an offensive savant. When Caleb threw two picks, Taylor forgot how to design a route concept. There is no middle ground. The Bears' offensive coordinator lives in a binary world where he is either the best playcaller in football or a man who should be fired before the fourth quarter ends.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Press Taylor get so much attention from Bears fans?
Because every play call is his responsibility and Bears fans have opinions about every single one of them. A run on second and eight? Twitter explodes. A deep shot on third and two that falls incomplete? The replies are already calling for his job. Taylor sits at the intersection of every offensive debate, and in Chicago, offensive competence is treated as a miracle because it was missing for so long.
What is Press Taylor's background before the Bears?
Taylor spent years in Philadelphia as a quarterbacks coach under Frank Reich and worked with multiple young quarterbacks before joining Ben Johnson's staff. His connection to Johnson is what landed him the OC job in Chicago. He's a football lifer from a coaching family, which means he's been drawing plays on napkins since he could hold a pen.
