The Senior Bowl is less than a week away. It will mark the first time the Chicago Bears coaching staff has had a chance to represent at the event since 1996. One would imagine they’d prefer to have a full compliment of assistants on hand for the action. For a time that looked like it might not happen.
Two of them, Stan Drayton and Clint Hurtt left for other opportunities. Two others in Dave Magazu and Sam Garnes were terminated. That left the team with four openings to fill ahead of the trip down to Mobile. It took long than expected, but now the positions have begun to fill. Three of them were officially announced.

While they may not hold the same celebrity level as the head coach or coordinators, these men are valuable to the success of the Bears in 2017 and beyond. Each also has their own story to tell. Fans might be surprised by some of the interesting tidbits that surfaced with a little bit of digging.
