Is Dowell Loggains more prepared to be a play caller in 2016 than Adam Gase was in 2013?

On Monday, Chicago Bears head coach John Fox promoted quarterbacks coach Dowell Loggains to offensive coordinator. It was the logical move and a move that Fox has had some success with in the past, but that hasn't stopped some from being concerned about Loggains taking over play calling duties.

I tend to trust Fox because he's had experience in turning over his staff before. Jack Del Rio, Dennis Allen, Mike McCoy and now Adam Gase, are all coordinators that worked with Fox before being hired away to be head coaches themselves.

Time will tell if Loggains has what it takes to find success as play caller for Chicago's offense, but he's definitely as qualified as some other young candidates and it could be argued that he's more qualified that Adam Gase was when Fox decided to promote him.
