The Chicago Bears continue to fill out Matt Eberflus’ coaching staff, which includes an impressive list of names that are aiming to get the team back on track.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Bears are hiring Travis Smith as their new defensive line coach. Smith spent the previous three seasons as an assistant defensive line coach with the Las Vegas Raiders.
Smith played a role in the development of Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby, who has become one of the league’s best pass rushers. Which can only be good news for a youngster like Trevis Gipson and veterans like Khalil Mack and Robert Quinn.
