The Bears are known to be talking to former Raiders offensive coordinator Todd Downing and Texans quarterbacks coach Pat O’Hara as options for Matt Nagy’s new coaching staff and another name has emerged.

Sources have said that former Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell could wind up in the mix as well. Bevell has not worked with Nagy previously, but they do have a common link. Nagy had a close relationship with Brad Childress in Kansas City. When Childress was the head coach of the Vikings from 2006-2010, Bevell served as his offensive coordinator.

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll has shaken up his staff, replacing offensive and defensive coordinators after Seattle slipped to 9-7 this past season and missed the playoffs. In a seven-year run as the coordinator, Bevell oversaw the development of quarterback Russell Wilson into an elite performer. Bevell was a finalist for the Bears’ head coaching job that went to Marc Trestman in 2013.

The only position coaching role that has yet to be filled is a quarterbacks coach. It’s possible Nagy could create a role or title for another addition.

Bevell could be in play for a coordinator role or quarterbacks coach job elsewhere with a handful of spots still open around the league. The Cardinals, Colts, Giants, Lions and Titans have yet to hire head coaches. The Giants are reportedly going to hire Vikings offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur while the Colts have been linked to Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels and the Lions have been linked to Patriots defensive coordinator Matt Patricia. Needless to say, more movement will occur leaguewide as head coaches are hired and staffs are created.

The majority of the Bears’ defensive assistants are expected to return with coordinator Vic Fangio re-signing. The Sporting News reported Wednesday morning that inside linebackers coach Glenn Pires and assistant defensive backs coach Roy Anderson are returning. Sources have maintained defensive line coach Jay Rodgers is expected to be retained and have said it is likely defensive backs coach Ed Donatell returns. The Bears are searching for a new strength and conditioning coach.
