Declan Doyle is like the vice-president of the Bears’ offense — in a position of authority, but as an offensive coordinator under a play-calling head coach, nobody really knows what he does. The Bears’ offense is Ben Johnson’s offense.
So what is the 28-year-old Doyle’s job? To make Johnson’s job easier. And to make Johnson look good. He’s the table-setter of the Bears’ offense.
“That’s a good way to describe it,” said Doyle, a Sean Payton disciple as the Broncos’ tight ends coach the past two seasons after four years as an offensive assistant under Payton and Dennis Allen with the Saints.
