And then there was one - following today only the RB group position remains on the Chicago Bears’ coaching staff. The Bears officially announced the hiring of Travis Smith as their new defensive line coach moments ago. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network was the first to scoop the news.
Previously, Travis Smith was the assistant defensive line coach for the past three seasons with the Las Vegas Raiders. He originally was hired as a defensive assistant / quality control coach by Dennis Allen in 2012 with the (then) Oakland Raiders. In all he’s entering his 10th season in the NFL as an assistant.
