CHICAGO -- Less that one week after being hired as the 19th coach in franchise history, new Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson has hired his three coordinators.
According to a league source, the Bears are hiring Declan Doyle as the team's offensive coordinator, Dennis Allen as defensive coordinator and retaining Richard Hightower as special teams coordinator.
Declan, 28, has coached tight ends with the Denver Broncos since 2023. He spent four seasons at the beginning of his NFL coaching career as an offensive assistant with the New Orleans Saints.
Johnson said he will continue to call offensive plays in Chicago after three seasons as Detroit's offensive coordinator.
