Bears Bringing On Al Harris

2 months ago

Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Chicago Bears have signed former Dallas Cowboys defensive backs coach Al Harris as their defensive passing game coordinator/DBs coach. Harris, a former Green Bay Packers DB himself, was hired to coach Dallas' secondary in 2020 -- reuniting him with his former coach Mike McCarthy. In that time, his teams have ranked in the top eleven regarding pass yards per game allowed in four of five seasons, notching fifth-place finishes in the last two years. The Bears have been on a hiring spree -- nabbing three coaches from their division-rival Detroit Lions', including brilliant offensive-minded head coach Ben Johnson. Chicago is gearing up for a big season in 2025 and is looking to improve upon a unit that allowed 219.9 pass yards per game.
