According to Tom Pelisero of NFL Media, former Vikings HC Brad Childress is expected to join Bears HC Matt Nagy’s staff soon in an assistant/consultant role working with the offense.
Mike Garafolo reported earlier that Childress is close with Nagy.
Childress, 62, began his NFL coaching career with the Eagles as their QBs coach back in 1999. He spent seven years in Philadelphia before he was hired as the Vikings head coach in 2006.
Childress was fired by the Vikings after five years in Minnesota and he had a brief stint with the Browns before joining the Chiefs’ coaching staff in 2013. He was the team’s offensive coordinator in 2016 before being moved to assistant head coach in 2017.
The Bears hired Childress as an assistant last year before he agreed to serve as head coach of the AAF’s Atlanta Legends. However, that didn’t work out, so it appears he could be back with the Bears.
During his time as the Vikings’ head coach, Childress led them to a record of 39-35 (52.7 percent), which includes two playoff appearances.
