Dowell Loggains reportedly taking over as Dolphins offensive coordinator

John Fox is already out the door, but it appears offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains is right behind him.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and ESPN's Adam Schefter both tweeted that Loggains is going to take over the same post with the Dolphins.

Loggains has been an assistant coach in the NFL since 2008 with posts as Tennessee and Cleveland as well as with the Bears. The 37-year-old took over as quarterbacks coach for the Bears in 2015 and moved to offensive coordinator in 2016.

He will reunite with Adam Gase in Miami. Gase, the Dolphins head coach, was the offensive coordinator for the Bears when Loggains was the QB coach. The Bears will play at the Dolphins next season, meaning the Gase-Loggains connection will face off against their former employer.

Questions about the Bears' coaching staff will persist this offseason until hires are made and getting an offensive coach to work with quarterback Mitchell Trubisky will be high on the priority list. With a vacancy now at offensive coodinator as well, it looks like it will be a clean slate for the Bears offense.

This year, the Bears ranked 30th in the NFL in total offense (287.4 yards per game), dead last in passing yards (175.7 per game), 16th in rushing (111.8 yards per game) and 29th in scoring (16.5 points per game). The year before the Bears clocked in at 17.4 points per game, which tied for 28th in the league.
