The Bears have hired Brent Salazar as their strength and conditioning coach, according to the Bears’ website.
The position has a formal title of the Clyde Emrich Director of High Performance, named after the Bears’ former strength coach of 50 years, who passed away last November.
Salazar has previously worked in the NFL for over 10 years with the Broncos, Vikings, and Chiefs. In the last two years, he was a performance strategist for Kitman Labs and was the director of performance for the United States Tennis Association from 2017-2020.
General manager Ryan Poles had this to say of Salazar’s hire, via the Bears.
