Danny Barrett, who was the head coach of the Saskatchewan Roughriders, has been hired as the Chicago Bulls’ quarterback coach. Barrett, who had earlier played as a quarterback in Canadian Football League, has ample experience both as a player and as a professional coach. He will be assisting Bulls’ head coach Turner Gill.During his playing days, Barrett played a total of 163 games in the CFL over a period of 12 years. He had an exceptional record as a quarterback with 23, 419 passing yards and 133 touchdowns. As the coach of Roughriders, he had immensely improved the performance of the team in the last three seasons.Another interesting development in the Bulls’ coaching staff is that Gill has decided to take up the additional responsibility of being the offensive coordinator of the Bulls’. He could not find an ample replacement for Gerald Carr, whose contract with the Bulls’ ended this season. Giving his impressions over the decision, Gills said that he did not want to make any radical changes in the current strategies of the team and wanted to maintain continuity. He wanted to keep the things as simple as possible. He further elaborated that if a new coordinator was hired, the players would have had to adjust to him and this would have taken time, which Gills says was not ready to lose. With Gills not calling plays would be easier for the players to continue improving their offense.In 2006, the Bulls averaged 18.3 points per game. This was eight points better than the previous year, but they were still 10th in the Mid American Conference and they finished 12th in total offense in the Conference.
