Report: Ted Monachino Not Returning to Bears in 2021

The entire Chicago Bears defensive staff may be facing a complete overhaul after all.

First, Chuck Pagano retired as the Bears’ defensive coordinator days after their playoff elimination. Later, defensive line coach Jay Rodgers was reported to be leaving for a job with the Los Angeles Chargers. Most recently, after a lengthy search no less, the Bears promoted safeties coach Sean Desai to the defensive coordinator job.

Now, the Bears will be searching for a new outside linebackers coach. Per Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune, Ted Monachino will not return for the upcoming 2021 season.
