Darnell Mooney takes shots at old Chicago Bears coaching staff

Earlier this week, Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney went on the popular Barstool Sports Chicago podcast Red Line Radio. He certainly had a lot of things to say but there was something said that caught a lot of people by surprise.

Mooney was very vocal about his time with the previous coaching staff. Mooney was certain to mention that the old caching staff and the new coaching staff are “night and day”. That speaks volumes when it comes to what it means about the past and the future.

He confirmed that things are much more organized under new head coach Matt Eberflus and that everyone knows what the expectations are. He also mentioned that things are smooth now which implies that they weren’t before.

That is great to hear. Everything that Matt Nagy did seemed to fail so hearing a top player like Mooney say that things are different now means a lot because they definitely needed to get away from that old style.

This is a player that is going to be extremely important to what the team does in the next couple of years. Going into 2022, he is the number one guy for Justin Fields. Everyone will probably agree that the development of Fields is the most important thing right now.

Darnell Mooney has a positive outlook on the new Chicago Bears coaching staff.

It is so sad to think about the last Bears leadership group. Everything was so bad about them that now players are starting to take their shots and Mooney won’t be the last. We can only hope that things can get better from this day forward.

2022 is probably going to be a very down year for the Bears. The Detroit Lions might even finish higher in the division than them which is saying something. However, that doesn’t mean that it will be a wasted year. If the most important players (including Mooney) take another step, it will be considered a good year.

It sounds (directly from a player) like this new group has a good handle on things at the beginning of their first year. If that is able to continue, Ryan Poles will be able to put together a really good team that has a great coaching staff leading the way.
