BRIEF: Bears hire two assistant coaches

Jan. 23--The Chicago Bears hired tight ends coach Frank Smith and strength and conditioning coach Jason George on Thursday.

Smith spent the last five seasons as an offensive assistant for the Saints. He assisted the offensive line, in particular. During his tenure, the Saints allowed 143 sacks, third-fewest in the NFL during that span.

Smith was the offensive coordinator/offensive line coach at Butler University from 2007-09. He was a three-year starter at Miami (Ohio) and graduated in 2004.

George was the Denver Broncos' assistant strength and conditioning coach for the last three seasons under new Bears head coach John Fox.
