After the 2015 season, Chicago Bears wide receiver coach Mike Groh decided to leave Chicago and join the Los Angeles Rams for the same job he held in Chicago. Groh did get an additional title as ‘passing game coordinator,’ but many felt that the Bears could have made more of an effort to keep Groh as a member of the staff.
Groh was well-respected by the players and was one of the few coaches that survived the Ryan Pace/ John Fox purge from Marc Trestman’s staff. The loss of Groh, coupled with the loss of Adam Gase could have left the Bears vulnerable to an offensive regression in 2016, but leave it to Fox to keep his coaching staff at an elite level.
