All the news and rumors surrounding the Bears as they build an assistant coaching staff and add to their front office personnel right here.

The Chicago Bears have a brand new general manager, Ryan Poles, and a brand new head coach, Matt Eberflus, so the next step for the franchise is to start building the front office and assistant coaching staff. With the NFL Draft coming up in a few months (April 28–30) the team won’t make wholesale changes to the scouting department, but I would expect Poles to bring in some of his own guys, and the first guy could be coming from the Philadelphia Eagles. If reports are true, the Bears have hired former Eagles’ director of player personnel Ian Cunningham as their assistant GM.

On the coaching side of things, there are rumors that Eberflus is targeting a Shanahan style offensive coordinator (Update: Luke Getsy has been hired), but the most buzz around his potential coaching staff is in the third phase and special teams coach Rich Bisaccia. If the Las Vegas Raiders decide to move on from Bisaccia, who just finished the 2021 season as the Raiders interim head coach, he’ll be available for Chicago to hire.

We’ll track all the news and rumors surrounding any additions to the front office and to the assistant coaching staff here.
