The report “Bears to interview Chargers WRs coach for job on offensive staff” originally posted on NBC Sports Chicago.
On Sunday, a new report emerged regarding Shane Waldron’s offensive staff. Tom Pelissero reports that Chargers wide receivers coach Chris Beatty will interview for the same position with the Bears.
Beatty is fifty years old and has three years of NFL coaching experience, all with the Chargers. Prior to arriving to Los Angeles, Beatty spent 15 years coaching at the collegiate level.
For years, the Chargers have been recognized for their powerful receiving corps, which is headlined by Keenan Allen. Under Beatty, Allen continued to thrive, averaging 7.2 catches for 80.3 yards and 0.4 touchdowns per game. That was a minor improvement over the three years prior to Beatty, when Allen averaged 6.5 catches, 73.6 yards, and 0.4 touchdowns per game.
Last Tuesday, the Bears formally hired Waldron as their new offensive coordinator.
Three days later, the team announced that Kerry Joseph, Waldron’s assistant QBs coach in Seattle, would accompany him to Chicago as the team’s new quarterbacks coach.
On Saturday, Bears head coach Matt Eberflus named Eric Washington, a former Bills associate head coach and defensive line coach, as the team’s new defensive coordinator.
