The Chicago Bears have their new head coach in Matt Eberflus, and now he’s working on assembling his coaching staff.
No doubt his most important hire is going to be the offensive coordinator, who will be responsible for developing quarterback Justin Fields and leading the offense.
According to NFL Network’s Jane Slater, the Bears are interviewing Jacksonville Jaguars wide receivers coach Sanjay Lal for their offensive coordinator position.
Lal has coached in the NFL for 14 years, which includes stops as a wide receivers coach in Jacksonville (2021-Present), Dallas (2018-19), Indianapolis (2017) Buffalo (2015-16), New York Jets (2012-14) and Oakland (2009-11). He also served as a senior offensive assistant with Seattle (2020).
