Brad Childress reportedly returning to Nagy's Bears staff — could he bring an old friend?

For the second time in just over a calendar year, Matt Nagy is tabbing his friend and longtime NFL coach Brad Childress as a consultant/offensive assistant on the Bears staff, NFL Media's Tom Pelissero reported Friday.

Not only are they close, Brad Childress was spotted at the combine and my understanding is he's expected to join Matt Nagy's staff soon in an assistant/consultant role, working with the #Bears offense. Another twist on the former #Vikings coach's "retirement". https://t.co/wDmKLnQ9WF

Childress, the Aurora native and former Vikings head coach, was a colleague of Nagy's on Andy Reid's Kansas City Chiefs staff from 2013-17, when he and Nagy were co-offensive coordinators in 2016 and Childress was the assistant head coach the following year.
