The Chiefs’ overhaul of their defensive coaching staff continues.
The Chicago Bears on Tuesday announced the hiring of Mark DeLeone, who had been the Chiefs’ inside linebackers coach.
DeLeone joins former Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy, now the Bears’ head coach, on the Chicago staff. DeLeone is the second Chiefs defensive assistant to relocate since defensive coordinator Bob Sutton was fired last week and Steve Spagnuolo was named as his replacement.
DeLeone had been part of Andy Reid’s original Chiefs staff. Last season was his first as inside linebackers coach, the first year the team had split the inside/outside linebacker coaching duties.
