During Matt Eberflus’ portion of the Chicago Bears’ end-of-year presser it was hinted that changes would be coming to the coaching staff. In fact, shortly before the season ended, DB coach James Rowe left for USF to become their new defensive passing game coordinator. So at least one vacancy was known for the past month.
Just moments ago the Bears officially announced several new additions and promotions within both their coaching and football operations staffs.
The single most notable name on this list is none other than Jon Hoke. He actually spent one season with the Bears as a DB during the 1980 season before beginning his career in the coaching world at Dayton (1982).
