The Bears are expected to hire Bill Lazor as their new offensive coordinator, replacing Mark Helfrich, who was one of three offensive assistants fired by Matt Nagy following the team's four-win regression to 8-8 last season. Lazor's new role in Chicago is likely to be a hybrid between QB coach and offensive coordinator. It's worth noting that Lazor has no connections to the Andy Reid tree, from which Nagy found Bears new O-line coach Juan Castillo last week. The Bears also hired 15-year NFL coaching veteran Clancy Barone — like Lazor in his first job with Nagy — to coach tight ends. Lazor was named Bengals interim offensive coordinator in Week 3 of the 2017 season and helped spark a slumping Dalton and Bengals offense that had been shut out in its first two games.
