Maybe this is the guy they've wanted all along.
Dan Pompei comes out with word that the Bears have asked the Vikings permission to speak with their QB coach Kevin Rogers.
The timing of this announcement is not really a surprise, necessarily, as the Bears need to quickly shuffle off the terrible PR that comes from being spurned by Hue Jackson for the Raiders earlier today.
The person could be a surprise, though. From the article:
Rogers was the offensive coordinator at Notre Dame from 1999-2001 under Bob Davie, so he has experience as a play-caller and coordinator.
Rogers drew attention for his work with Brett Favre this year--a quarterback to whom Jay Cutler has been compared. Favre arguably had the best season of his 19-year career. Previously, Rogers also was praised for his development of Tarvaris Jackson and his work with Gus Frerotte.
While the development of T.Jack and Frerotte can, and likely will, be endlessly debated, you can't say he didn't seem to have a big impact on Brett Favre. While Favre was also absolutely surrounded by weapons and had a solid line, Favre didn't play like Favre of old. Except when it counted. And made us all happy.
Probably not going to get to talk to him, but maybe they won't mind? Chat him up below.
Update: Some coaching highlights, helmet tip to CloudyFuture for digging up the info from the vikings.com bio.
Coaching highlights:
The 2008 Vikings had Jackson and veteran Gus Frerotte both under center as the team went 10-6 and won the NFC North- the 1st Division title for the Vikings since 2000. When Jackson took over for an injured Frerotte in the 13th game of the season at Detroit (12/7/08) he led the team on a 4th-quarter comeback win and posted wins in 2 of the final 3 wins of the regular season. In Jackson’s 1st start after an 11-game layoff when Frerotte took over the reins, he earned his 1st career NFC Offensive Player of the Week honors after a career-best 4 TD day at Arizona (12/14/08) in an upset win over the eventual NFC Champions. In the final 4 regular season games, Jackson had an 8 TD to 1 INT ratio and a passer rating of 115.4.
For Rogers, the 2009 season will mark his 35th year in the coaching profession, 28 of which have been at the collegiate level. He has coached an impressive list of players such as Donovan McNabb, Marvin Harrison and Napolean McCallum, and has been fortunate to coach alongside some of the legends of the game, sharing the sideline with the likes of Woody Hayes, Paul Pasqualoni and Frank Beamer.

Here we go again
Guess we can scratch him off the list.
The only time the Mets win is in the offseason.
How is he coaching up
a 19 yr vet? I would say Farve’s success this year was from stellar O-line play and good play calling. T-Jack is aweful and Gus wasn’t that good either.
Well jackson did play
well towards the end of 08….course then the playoff game happened…..

Because he's the only coach in quite some time
that was able to get him to stop making horrendous throws all the time and eliminate the constant turnovers. Thank god his natural arrogance and stupidity chose to emerge at the end of Sunday’s game.

Could be ......
……. This could be a decent hire assuming we even get to talk to him . And stellar o-line play , are you kidding me . I’ll bet good ole Brett Favre would disagree with that . And sorry Gus nor Tavarris have the talent of Jay Cutler or Brett Favre and Jackson did play much better at the end of the 08 season . He’s shown with talent he can make them better and when he was at ND he was the type of OC we need …… run first to set up the play action . So this seems like a good fit either as OC or even as a QB coach hire .

Good o-line play
except for that playoff game. Other than that it was good all season.
Na
panthers, san fran, ravens, and the 2nd Bears game that O line let favre get beat up from what I saw in those games….
I would not be to upset by this hire (hue jackson did not do it for me)….
Still NO WAY the vikes will let him interview…..

MY POINT EXACTLY !!!!!!
Lets see OC money or HC money ? And come on we all know Jackson is gonna be HC before the start of the season and thats the real reason why he’s a Raider .
And Kev H agreed but my opinion here is he just wanted to be close to home , much like Mike Tice and have his shot at being the top dog of his home town team .

Coaching profile:
- The 2008 Vikings had Jackson and veteran Gus Frerotte both under center as the team went 10-6 and won the NFC North- the 1st Division title for the Vikings since 2000. When Jackson took over for an injured Frerotte in the 13th game of the season at Detroit (12/7/08) he led the team on a 4th-quarter comeback win and posted wins in 2 of the final 3 wins of the regular season. In Jackson’s 1st start after an 11-game layoff when Frerotte took over the reins, he earned his 1st career NFC Offensive Player of the Week honors after a career-best 4 TD day at Arizona (12/14/08) in an upset win over the eventual NFC Champions. In the final 4 regular season games, Jackson had an 8 TD to 1 INT ratio and a passer rating of 115.4.
- Before joining Minnesota, Rogers spent the 2002-05 seasons at Virginia Tech, where he guided back-to-back Hokies QBs to impressive performances. Rogers helped QB Bryan Randall etch his name throughout the school record book as he became the all-time leader in passing yards, touchdowns and total offense. Randall ended his career in 2004 with Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Year and Offensive Player of the Year honors. In 2005, Rogers guided QB Marcus Vick in his debut as a starter on to 1st-Team All-ACC honors. Vick led the ACC in pass efficiency, while the Hokies led the conference in scoring offense at 33.8 points per game, including a league-high 51 TDs.
- Prior to his successful stint at Virginia Tech, Rogers spent the 1999-2001 seasons at Notre Dame as the offensive coordinator/QBs coach on Bob Davie’s staff. He played a part in the 2000 Irish squad that finished 9-3 and was invited to the Fiesta Bowl in the school’s debut in a Bowl Championship Series game. Rogers worked with QB Jarious Jackson in his final season and helped the senior signal-caller leave with the single-season passing yardage record in 1999 and set school marks for attempts and completions. Jackson ended his career as the 4th-ranked quarterback in school history and was selected in the 7th round of the 2000 NFL Draft, the first Irish QB drafted since Rick Mirer in 1993.
- Rogers’ longest tenure came with Syracuse University, where he coached from 1991-1998. He joined the team as quarterbacks coach on Pasqualoni’s staff, was named assistant head coach in 1995, serving as the recruiting coordinator from 1995-97 before being promoted to offensive coordinator in 1997.
- From 1992-98, Syracuse QBs were prominent in league play as McNabb was a 1st-Team All-Big East choice in each of his 4 seasons (1995-98), Kevin Mason earned 1st-Team acclaim in 1994 and Marvin Graves was a 2nd-Team choice in 1992 when he ranked 2nd in the nation in passing. Graves held the school records that McNabb would soon break as both still stand among the top QBs in school history. Rogers also helped groom future NFL stars Marvin Harrison, Qadry Ismail and Rob Konrad.

I called them both... spot on.

What a joke. Change. Ha ha. And what a waste of an opportunity while we have a talented QB.

Come on man .........
Rod would be a good DC . He knows the system and knows how to motivate players so hes not that bad of a choice . And honestly I’d like Tice as OC . He’s a tough , hard nosed guy who fits our system ….. RUNNING THE ROCK !!!! So would it be that bad no. Is it my ideal situation no .

Why would he be a good DC?
He sucked as a HC… and he made no impact as a D-line coach on our team. So, now… he’s gonna be the guy who calls in Lovie’s plays? Any guy on the coaching staff could do that.
Don’t you realize the magnitude of this failure? It’s epic. They tried to replace and OC and a DC at the same time… a piss poor plan in itself. And, now they have no options to get it done. It’s a nightmare… and one of the most embarrassing moments in franchise history!

Yea he sucked as a head coach but has done a good job with the D-line and nothing I have to say is gonna change your mind .
And how is this an epic faliure ? Are we the Raiders gettin rid of our whole coaching staff every year ….. NO . This is what makes me a Bears fan loyality . Yes its to a fault but our team is loyal to their players and coaches . So you keep callin your team embarrassing faliures and sayin how inept we are because that shows so much support for your team ! I am loyal to my team no matter what and personally I think Lovie is our guy . Now does his staff leave something to be desired right now , yes . But do I want him gone , do I think our team is inept faliures , no . Why you ask ? I have faith in my team period . Maybe you need to learn something about supporting your team , even when we go through rough spots .

If I've said it once, I've said it a million times.
I am not a big Lovie fan, but I love the Chicago Bears. Do I wish Lovie success? Yes I do, but only because he is our coach. I will always be loyal to them even if I don’t believe in every move they make or how the team is run. At times, I absolutely can’t stand the way our organization does things. At times, I cant stand the way our coach does things. It’s the difference of being a die hard fan instead of fair weather fan and I will always be die hard. I love to bitch just as much as anyone, especially when they are fumbling through even trying to hire coordinators. But in the end, I always hope they come out on top with whatever decisions are made whether I like them or not. Still hanging in there hoping for some good coordinators to be hired and always looking forward to next season. Go Bears!!!

I understand, and even agree to a point.
I’ve been a die hard fan for many years and I really don’t like Lovie as a HC. Yes, I wish him success ONLY if that means he wins a Super Bowl.
On the other side of the coin, the last thing I want to see is him going 9-7 next year and possibly back into the playoffs to be one and done. That could prompt the McCaskeys to stick with this regime who is steeped in mediocrity and I’m sick of it. I sincerely feel that the best thing for this franchise long term, is to completey clean house and if that means suffering through another losing season so they’re forced to bring in a management/coaching staff that can actually get the job done, then so be it.
I don’t think that makes me a fair weather fan.
Sure doesn't...
whatever it takes to make it to the SB. I have read a lot of your stuff on here, without question, you sir are a Die Hard. No matter what happens, I will be watching every game either cussing or celebrating like a fool. I agree with what your saying, if they go 9-7 and Lovie is still HC, I like you will be pissed.

I don't like this move.
VIkings QBs are as dismal as Bears QBs. this guy isn’t doing a great job at all.
I don't see why the credit...
is given to Rogers for Brett Favre’s success this season. I’m guessing the combo of AP, a good O-line and the prior 18 years of elite NFL play may have something more to do with it! Rogers may be good, but don’t cite this season as his “genius”. It sounds more like he scores high on a checklist of Lovie’s generic OC criterion, not necessarily that he’s a great guy to be the OC of the Bears. I guess he could do the job, but I’m not overly impressed with his qualifications.
IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO FIRE LOVIE!
Take it easy, guys...
No It All is a warrior today in the forums! I read your exchange with sklz in another post. That was some good stuff.
I don’t know much about the man, but it seems like he has done some good things in the college ranks, and not so much yet in the pros.
But I still don’t understand the basics about him. Will he espouse a run-first mentality? What type of offense would he install? I’ll reserve my judgement until I know such things. I have the gut feeling that we’ll never know. The Vikes will say no, I can feel it.
As for Favre, I see LostInSTL’s point. Favre has never had a back like AP (although Ahman was very good for a while there). It seemed like he took a totally different approach this season compared to seasons past. He let the offense be AP’s early on, and only made the throws that made sense. But as the season went on, he wanted to take more and more on his shoulders, and it culminated with his arrogant and awful decision making in the NFC Championship.

I am sort of sick of all the D coaches coming in at this point
You finally have a QB with tons of talent and potential I would prefer a offensive minded coach come in and try to fix the Bears/Cutler…..Bring the Bears offense into the 21st century….
Plus I seen all his teams chock in the playoffs countless times until finally they got on a hot streak and getting a couple of Big breaks when it counted (big ben TD saving tackle after bettis fumble. missed FG at the end of the colts game. Getting all the calls in XL)….Plus all the super bowl coaches that go else where never seem to reach the same success in their new homes/teams…..
But it seems that he is next in line to coach the Bears from all the stuff I had heard (boers and burnstien, dave kaplan)…..IF Lovie fails…..

Well the vikes granted them permission to interview rogers
But the Bears have received permission from the Minnesota Vikings to speak to quarterbacks coach Kevin Rogers about their vacancy, according to sources with knowledge of the situation.
It’s believed Rogers will do the interview later this week.
Rogers is under contract to the Vikings through next season, and Vikings coach Brad Childress can decide whether to grant or deny the Bears request. But Childress — a former quarterbacks coach — has generally allowed his assistants to interview for promotions.

Despite all the baggage, I still don't know why everyone is so down on Martz.
He wouldn’t be my first choice, but everyone in here seems to want anybody BUT Martz. The guy is a genius. Awful HC, but a proven coordinator. The pieces of our offense just really seem to fit his system, too. Speedy corner receivers, a versatile back, and a strong-armed, accurate, smart QB. We even have a promising LT. Sure we are missing the rest of the line, but we know we have issues.
I hope not.

In the running to become QB coach

And why exactly would you want someone who recommended Terry friggin Shea?

That mistake aside
He has a great track record on offense. Why? Here you go…
From 1983–1986, Saunders was the wide receivers coach for the Chargers. He was tapped as the Charger’s interim head coach when Coryell resigned during the middle of the 1986 season. Saunders would eventually replace Coryell as the head coach from 1986-1988.
and this…
Saunders would rejoin the Kansas City Chiefs in 2001 as the offensive coordinator when Vermeil came out of retirement. In his second stint with the Chiefs, Saunders built the NFL’s top offense, which was ranked #1 in the NFL from 2002–2005.

We see eye to eye on a lot of things
He’s experienced as they come, with plenty of success to show for it.

I know there is a "source" saying
He received permission but I won’t believe until multiple outlets report such. I have a hard time believing any one would allow an asst to go to a divisional rival even if it is a step up…there is no way this happens…well I won’t say no way but w/ the way the rest of the search has gone I just don’t have faith.

Of course he received permission...
He’s not that valuable to the Vikings coaching staff anyway. Brett Favre is his own coach.

It's really pretty rare to deny permission for a step up...
Most of the coaches out there in the league wouldn’t be where they were without having been given permission in the first place.
That is, for actual upward moves.

Unless you're the Packers
That’s ok, Clements will be available next year when all the coaches are fired.

Yeah, I wouldn't expect that we'd
Give the Packers access to any of our coaches, the rivalry runs too deep.

At this point I just want someone to get the job of OC/DC
to see people come in and interview for the position and then accept another job offer or stay where they currently are is just depressing. It makes me wonder if management is serious about finding the right candidate or if they have someone in mind and are just going thru the motions so they can say “Hey we looked and we believe that this is the right person for the job.”
Can I submit my resume for the job?
I need an internship to graduate college and maybe this could fill that. I have previous experience winning multiple Super Bowls on Madden, including two perfect seasons.

at this point in time
sure why not. SB on Madden + perfect season = perfect candidate. Which job OC or DC?
We will snag one of these guys eventually
When they don’t pull out fast enough and he gets stuck with our offense as his baby. And I hope it grows into a successful one and wins the super bowl for our city.

pulling out is the least effective method.

Also, to be fair
not pulling out quickly has probably snagged a lot of guys in the past.

Least effective yet most used.

Well originally, but then… yet maybe? I’m lost….

Didn’t Tony Dungy say he’d come back to football as a team president? Fire Ted, Jerry, and Lovie, hire Tony. He’ll bring Leslie Frazier back to Chicago.
Don't want Dungy
Without Peyton Manning he’s pretty worthless IMO. He was unable to win the SB with the Bucs, while Gruden did with the same exact players. I’d rather have an offensive mastermind than a student of a difficult scheme to execute.
