Breaking: Ohio State legend hired as new Bears QB coach….
The Chicago Bears have made a significant addition to their coaching staff with the hiring of Ohio State legend and former NFL quarterback, **Justin Fields’ former coach,** **C.J. Stroud**, as their new quarterback coach. Stroud, who has established a reputation as one of the premier quarterbacks in college football history, will now bring his expertise to the professional level as he helps develop the Bears’ young quarterbacks, including the promising Justin Fields.
Stroud’s background at Ohio State, where he led the Buckeyes to multiple Big Ten championships and became a Heisman Trophy finalist, makes him a standout addition to Chicago’s coaching team. His knowledge of quarterback mechanics, field awareness, and leadership is expected to be a key asset in shaping the future of the Bears’ offense.
Stroud’s hiring comes at a critical time for the Bears, who have invested heavily in developing Fields into a franchise quarterback. Fields showed flashes of his immense potential during his rookie and sophomore seasons but has struggled with consistency. The Bears believe that Stroud’s mentorship and experience can help Fields refine his skills and elevate his game to the next level.
The appointment of Stroud signals the Bears’ commitment to building a high-powered offense around their young quarterback. As they aim to bounce back from a disappointing 2024 season, Stroud’s guidance is expected to play a pivotal role in Chicago’s quest for success in the NFC North.
