The first official addition to new Bears coach Matt Nagy's staff is a well-respected veteran assistant who's considered among the best at his craft in the nation.
Harry Hiestand will return to the Bears for a second tour of duty as offensive line coach. Hiestand first served in that capacity for five seasons from 2005-09 under coach Lovie Smith, helping the Bears win back-to-back NFC North titles and reach Super Bowl XLI in 2006.
During that time, Hiestand played a key role in sending center Olin Kreutz (2005 and 2006) and guard Ruben Brown (2006) to the Pro Bowl.
