Chicago Bears: The John Fox Replacement Power Rankings

50. Teryl Austin can be called that defensive coordinator who excels at making chicken salad out of chicken….well you get the idea. Despite not always having the best talent to work with, he finds a way to make it serviceable enough to get the Lions some key victories each year. He’s experienced, smart, is a winner and was ready for his shot a few years ago. Yes he is a defensive specialist but he’s also well-traveled and learned under Jim Caldwell, a QB guru. It shouldn’t be a stretch to think he can handle the responsibilities of properly building that offense around Trubisky.. DC. Detroit. Teryl Austin . 13. player

14. player. 52. By far the biggest breakout unit of 2017 has been the Jacksonville Jaguars defense. After years of mediocrity they’ve suddenly become one of the best in the NFL, spearheaded by their outstanding cornerbacks and pass rush. The man who has orchastrated this surge is Todd Wash. A veteran defensive line specialist for so many year, he finally got his crack at the coordinating job and he’s taken to it like a nature. He’s a stickler for details, motivates well and always has them ready to play. At the same time his base of talent to work with is settled in a 4-3 scheme whereas the Bears are a 3-4. So that might complicate matters.. DC. Jacksonville. Todd Wash
