I had not heard about his hiring. Also, (no surprise) the article confirmed that Hurtt declined to stay with the Bears, so it appears they wanted him but he said no thanks.
Bears announce three new assistant coaches
The Chicago Bears announced the hiring of three new assistant coaches Thursday, leaving only one remaining opening on the coaching staff to be filled.
The team confirmed the previous reports that San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator Curtis Modkins will joining the staff as running backs coach, and Miami Dolphins assistant offensive line coach Jeremiah Washburn will come to Chicago to coach the offensive line.
The announcement also added Roy Anderson to the picture, who will presumably fill the roll of assistant defensive backs coach, which opened up with the firing of Sam Garnes. Anderson was the safeties coach with the 49ers last season and held that same role with the Indianapolis Colts before that.
With these addition, that leaves outside linebackers coach as the only open job. The team also confirmed Clint Hurtt declined to return to the team this offseason.
The Bears’ whole staff will likely be finalized ahead of the Senior Bowl practices they will coach starting next week.
