The Bears are promoting Bill Shuey to outside linebackers coach. He’ll replace Ted Monachino, who accepted the same job with the Falcons earlier this week.
Shuey has been with the Bears for all of Matt Nagy’s three seasons. He was a defensive quality control assistant in 2018 alongside new defensive coordinator Sean Desai; they were promoted to assistant outside linebackers coach/pass-rush analyst and safeties coach, respectively, in February 2019.
Shuey spent 10 years with the Eagles — three as the team’s linebackers coach — which is where he first worked with Nagy. He coached at small college West Chester and Widener from 2012-17.
Desai is filling out his staff this week. The team named Chris Rumph its defensive line coach on Thursday and also agreed to hire Bill McGovern to coach inside linebackers. They are replacing Jay Rodgers, who is headed for the Chargers as the defensive line coach, and Mark DeLeone, who was officially added to the Lions staff as inside linebackers coach Friday morning.
The Bears announced the Shuey and McGovern hires Friday afternoon.
