Bears hire Phil Snow as senior defensive analyst

On Monday, Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus announced that they have hired 57-year-old Phil Snow as their senior defensive analyst, the position he said they wanted to add last week.

Chicago had been coaching a man down since defensive coordinator Alan Williams stepped away from the team, and with Eberflus taking on the responsibility of playcaller, he wanted another experienced voice at Halas Hall.

Snow has been coaching football since 1976, when he started as the Berkeley (California) High School defensive backs coach, and his most recent gig was as the defensive coordinator with the Carolina Panthers (2020-2022).
