CHICAGO _ Brad Childress will rejoin the Bears as a senior offensive assistant, the team announced Wednesday afternoon.
Childress previously served as a senior offensive consultant during the 2018 offseason and training camp as coach Matt Nagy installed his offense.
Childress has 20 years of NFL coaching experience, including five with the Chiefs alongside Nagy. They were co-offensive coordinators in 2016 before Childress was promoted to assistant head coach and Nagy to offensive coordinator in 2017.
Childress, an Aurora, Ill., native, began his career as a graduate assistant and running backs coach at Illinois in the early 1980s. He was the Vikings head coach from 2006 to 2010 and also worked with the Browns, Eagles and Colts.
Childress originally was supposed to coach the Atlanta team in the Alliance of American Football this spring, but he stepped down before the season started. The league suspended operations after eight games.
