Chicago Bears fire two assistant coaches, but the coordinators all remain
The Chicago Tribune’s Brad Biggs is reporting that the Chicago Bears have fired long time John Fox assistant coaches Dave Magazu and Sam Garnes. Magazu was the teams offensive line coach and Garnes was an assistant defensive backs coach.
Biggs reported that there was friction between Magazu and the players during the season and “some wondered privately if he would be let go” with the team struggling to win games. With Magazu out, the Bears still have assistant o-line coach Ben Wilkerson and offensive assistant Kevin Mawae (a 2017 Hall Of Fame finalist as a center) around.
