K-State could reportedly lose new defensive coordinator to Chicago Bears

Kansas State may be in danger of losing its new defensive coordinator before he coaches a single game for the Wildcats.

The Chicago Bears have shown interest in hiring Ted Monachino as a defensive assistant on their staff, according to a Monday afternoon report from Football Scoop.

Chris Klieman hired Monachino as K-State’s defensive coordinator in late December. He was previously serving as a senior defensive analyst for the Missouri Tigers, but he has a long history of coaching in the NFL.

He was the defensive coordinator for the Indianapolis Colts under Chuck Pagano from 2016-17.
