The Chicago Bears are adding two new assistant coaches to Matt Nagy’s staff — as first reported by The Athletic’s Adam Jahns — and both have a history with the franchise. Henry Burris, who played quarterback for the Bears in the 2002 season, and inside linebacker John Timu, who played in Chicago from 2015 to 2017, are joining the team thanks to the Bill Walsh diversity coaching fellowship.
Since leaving the Bears, Timu played in the now defunct AAF and he was an assistant coach at his alma mater the University of Washington.
