One national NFL writer is praising Bears coach Matt Nagy for hiring an assistant coach that is considered among the best at his craft in the country.
In Thursday's edition of Sports Illustrated's Monday Morning Quarterback column, Albert Breer labels the Bears' addition of offensive line coach Harry Hiestand as "the offseason's underrated hire."
"We don't talk much about position coaches here," Breer writes. "But I'm going to give you one that I believe has a chance to be a big-time difference-maker for his first-time head coach: new Bears line coach Harry Hiestand. Matt Nagy did incredibly well to poach Hiestand, who'd been a target for a number of guys interviewing for jobs in January, from Notre Dame.
