Tight ends coach Frank Smith joins the Bears this year after spending the last five seasons with the New Orleans Saints, assisting the team's offensive staff in all aspects of game preparation while also working closely with the offensive line.
During that span, the Saints allowed just 143 sacks, the third fewest in the NFL, and sent four offensive linemen to the Pro Bowl, including current Bears left tackle Jermon Bushrod.
Smith was a starting offensive lineman at Miami (Ohio) from 2001-03, teaming with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
