    Bears hire Eric Washington as defensive coordinator

    The Bears have their new defensive coordinator: Eric Washington.
    Washington is heading to Chicago to take the vacant defensive coordinator job, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.[/COLOR]
    The 54-year-old Washington was previously assistant head coach and defensive line coach of the Bills. He’s been in Buffalo the last four years and before that spent two years as the Panthers’ defensive coordinator. His other coaching jobs include three years as an assistant in Chicago from 2008 to 2010.[/COLOR]
    The Bears have been without a defensive coordinator since September, when Alan Williams resigned for “personal reasons” that have still not been explained. Bears head coach Matt Eberflus handled most of the coordinator duties himself for the rest of last season but will now turn the defensive calls over to Washington.

    It’s the price of success. Coaches get picked off left and right.

        Yes, as per a codicil added to the Rooney Rule in 2020, teams that “lose a minority executive or coach to another team, that team would receive a third-round compensatory pick for two years. If a team lost both a coach and personnel member, it would receive a third-round compensatory pick for three years.”

        “It breaks your heart when someone leaves and you don’t know why.”

        Former President Donald Trump early Thursday touted the results of a new NPR/PBSNewsHour/Marist poll showing him ahead of President Joe Biden by 8 percentage points among independents.

          2 third round picks?

          What is going on with Frazier? I thought he was on a one-year sabbatical.

            Beane said during his year end press conference that Frazier's contract expired after this season. Doesn't sound like there are any plans for him to return.

              Losing the ass't HC puts more on McD's plate. Who gets promoted, or do they find a DC?

                Maybe Babich gets the DC, and nobody is assistant head coach.

                  That only applies to minority coaches being hired as a head coach or GM. Not DC.

                  Here is the pertinent clause in Resolution JC-2A...

                  "The employer-club of a minority employee who has been hired by another club as its Head Coach or Primary Football Executive (General Manager) shall receive Draft choice compensation in the form of a compensatory Draft pick in the third round in each of the next two Drafts for an employee hired as either a Head Coach or Primary Football Executive...."

                    I'm not comfortable without a Babich on hand.

                      So that is it with Frazier huh? At the end of the day it was always about parting ways due to irreconcilable differences. His "year off" was just "I'm under contract somewhere I really don't want to work".

                      Interesting....

                        What’s this success you speak of? You do nothing but complain about the team’s failures (even ones that haven’t happened yet)

                          He was setting himself up for a head coach job. Hasn't panned out yet.

                            Likely never will JMO.

                              Never say never of course unless you really want to.
