When it comes to referencing “Staley,”, most Bears fans are aware of the nickname of the franchise’s Decatur origins, which inspired the mascot you see prancing around at games and community appearances.
But we now introduce you to Brandon Staley, the new outside linebackers coach. He succeeded Clint Hurtt, whose contract was not renewed after last season despite a popularity with his players, and who is now the Seahawks’ defensive line coach. Staley’s resume won’t bowl over fans. All 11 years of his coaching experience have come at the collegiate level, and traditional powerhouses are difficult to find.
