Chicago Bears coach Ben Johnson is set to go
into his first season with a staff of 28 assistants, the team
announced on Thursday.
The list includes includes new offensive and defensive
coordinators Declan Doyle and Dennis Allen, who were hired last
month. Special teams coordinator Richard Hightower was one of
eight assistants retained from former coach Matt Eberflus'
staff.
The newcomers include former Kansas City Chiefs and Washington
Commanders offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy as running backs
coach; assistant head coach and wide receivers coach Antwaan
Randle El; and former Green Bay Packers Pro Bowl cornerback Al
Harris as defensive backs coach.
Johnson is taking on a big job, trying to turn around a team
that finished last in the NFC North at 5-12. He was widely
considered the top coaching candidate on the market after
spending the past three years as the Detroit Lions’ offensive
coordinator.
