According to a league source, offensive coordinator Ron Turner will not be returning next season. Also gone is tight end coach Rob Boras, offensive assistant/assistant offensive line coach Luke Butkus, quarterback coach Pep Hamilton, offensive line coach Harry Hiestand, and offensive assistant/assistant receiver coach Charles London.

Running back coach Tim Spencer and receiver coach Darryl Drake are expected to return.

Someone had to take the blame for the Bears' failures, and the offense didn’t get it done with the new Pro Bowl quarterback in Jay Cutler. Offensive Coordinator Ron Turner and quarterback coach Pep Hamilton never had a good relationship with Cutler, and some have said Pep very rarely talked to Cutler. Cutler needs someone who fixes his mistakes by being demanding, because sometimes Cutler looks like he doesn’t care out there. Cutler needs to be a leader, and to be a leader you a need someone leading you.

We'll soon find out whom the Bears will bring in as the next offensive coordinator and the next quarterback coach. These decisions are important for the success of the Bears over the next couple of seasons.
