Bears Hire Former Cowboys Assistant to Coaching Staff

Jan 24, 2025 | ontapsportsnet.com | Conor Cunningham

The Ben Johnson coaching staff is starting to take shape. According to Dallas Cowboys team writer Patrik Walker, the Chicago Bears have hired former Cowboys defensive backs coach Al Harris to serve as Chicago's defensive passing game coordinator. As a player, Harris spent seven seasons with the Green Bay Packers, earning Pro Bowl honors twice. He previously coached with the Miami Dolphins in 2012 alongside Ben Johnson before landing in Dallas under Mike McCarthy.

The Mike McCarthy hype train (acceptance train?) has officially left the station in Chicago.

Less than a week later, McCarthy is back in the race for Chicago after the Cowboys declined to renew his contract on Monday. McCarthy will reportedly interview with the Bears on Wednesday.
