The Bears announced on Friday the hiring of Dave Ragone as their quarterbacks coach.
Ragone spent the 2015 season as offensive quality control coach for the Washington Redskins. Ragone was part of a Redskins offensive staff that helped quarterback Kirk Cousins record the fifth-highest passer rating in the NFL (101.6), including 29 touchdowns and an NFL-high 69.8 completion percentage.
Before joining the Redskins, Ragone spent three years on the Tennessee Titans coaching staff. He was the Titans wide receivers coach from 2011-12, working under current Bears offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains.
Prior to becoming an NFL coach, Ragone worked as the quarterbacks coach for the Hartford Colonials of the UFL in 2010, helping former Bears and current Browns quarterback Josh McCown lead the league in passer-rating and touchdown passes.
