During his stay at Iowa, Doyle made a jump and contacted Brandon Nugent – then coach of the Deputy Offensive Line of Saints and former Hawkeyes attacking assistant (2005-06) – and asked to visit New Orleans during the Ota. Even as a student, Doyle found a way to pay her plane ticket in the south and spent two days with the Sainted staff led by Sean Payton – who included the head coach of the Lions Dan Campbell and the Offensive invoice coordinator, Joe Brady.
When an offensive assistant role opened its doors with the saints in 2019, Doyle threw its name into the hat.
“There were a lot of people who interviewed this role of attacking assistant / quality control and I was lucky to get an interview and to go,” said Doyle. “It went well and we are there.”
Doyle went from the offensive assistant to the Saints (2019-22) to the tight final coach of the Broncos (2023-24) to an attacking coordinator now under the new head coach Ben Johnson. For the native of the 28 -year -old Iowa, the role of OC is new, but it is the one he is preparing “from the very beginning”.
“I think knowledge is power,” said Doyle. “This is what the guys finally care about. Last year, it was the first time that I am really older than all the players in my room. It will be my 10th year. But it was really part of my trip to this point.
“I think the players care:” Can you help me? “First and foremost. It won.
For Doyle, this next part of his coach journey will focus to help Johnson shape the Bears offensive. While Johnson will be the offensive game caller, Doyle will be decisive in the organization and detail of the initial game plan, using their staff to build the offensive scheme and ensure that the players are put in position to succeed.
“Basically, I have to do this job that (Johnson) will not have time to do, and he should be able to trust me that I will give him the correct information he needs as a decision maker,” said. “And really throughout the week, rationalizing the progress of teaching to players, ensuring that everything is built around them. Myself, well and the rest of the staff, we will not take a Cliché this year.
Doyle thinks that his experiences and mentors in New Orleans and Denver prepared him at this time and can guide him when building a relationship with Johnson.
Learning Pete Carmichael and Joe Lombardi – who were both offensive coordinators under Payton – taught Doyle to work alongside the main caller. This experience was an emphasis on Doyle’s interview with Johnson.
“The most important thing is, the high levels of communication of this position, the ability to use all resources within staff and to give very direct messaging, not only, but also to direct what we try to Complete, “said Doyle. “The most important thing is that you are on the same wavelength with the game player.
“Me and well will have to spend a ton of time together to dive into the film. I am really really excited to be able to go doing this. And make sure that I see the game in the same way as he sees it, to be able to orchestrate And put the table and make sure that we do it as he wants to do. “
The most recent job from Doyle to Denver will also help him navigate a young quarter-rear like Caleb Williams. As a tight end coach, Doyle played a role in the development of the Broncos Recruit of Broncos, Bo Nix, who helped Denver reach the playoffs after classifying the top 10 of the NFL in points per game .
Doyle is delighted to start assessing the recruit season of Williams and helping to build the offensive around its strengths and capacities. Looking at Williams at the USC and through the project process, Doyle considers QB as “a very impressive player” with a “crazy” arm talent.
“I think the most important thing is only the talent of the child,” said Doyle. “The ability to use his legs – it’s a hard child. You see him on a band. … His second act, his ability to escape the pocket, his ability to create is a special thing. This is something Something I could see with BO in Denver last year.
While Doyle begins his transition to Chicago, he expressed his gratitude for the Broncos and Saints organizations as well as Payton, adding: “Twice, he pulled me from relative anonymity.”
Being from the Midwest, Doyle understands the rich history of the Bears franchise. Even heading to Halas Hall this week was “a little surreal”. But just like his attitude as an assistant student in Iowa 10 years ago, Doyle is ready to use his passion and knowledge to help bears to succeed.
“I am certainly very excited for the opportunity here,” said Doyle. “We have a lot of work in front of us and I can’t wait to dive with Ben and the rest of the offensive staff. My goal is to be as favorable as possible to Ben, to our players and to be a resource in any way that this Either I can be.
