The Chicago Bears, like all of the other NFL teams, are making moves in order to gear up for the start of the 2024 season and the franchise made a couple of new coaching hires on Friday as they continue marching forward.
Per team release, the Bears hired Bryan Bing and former NFL quarterback, Ryan Griffin. The former will work with the defensive line, while the latter will work with quarterbacks and receivers. Both are labeled as assistant coaches.
Griffin was in the NFL from 2013-2022, but unfortunately, he appeared in just one game and attempted four total passes over the course off his career. Still he got to learn under Tom Brady and Drew Brees, two of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game.
Griffin's biggest claim to fame is when he helped a very inebriated Brady find safety after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Super Bowl Boat Parade in 2021.
As for Bing, he spent last season as a defensive assistant with the Indianapolis Colts. He was part of the Tony Dungy Diversity Coaching Fellowship Program. Before that, he was a defensive line coach in the college ranks.
