As the Bears rebuild their offensive line, with possibly four new starters coming in for next season, they’re hiring longtime offensive line coach Dan Roushar, a source said.
Roushar was with Tulane the last two seasons and spent a decade with the Saints before that. Much of that time was with current Bears defensive coordinator Dennis Allen, and he overlapped with offensive coordinator Declan Doyle as well.
Roushar, 64, has nearly four decades of coaching experience. He got his start with Butler University in 1986 and was hired as the University of Illinois’ quarterbacks coach in 1995. He also coached at Northern Illinois, University of Cincinnati and Michigan State before joining the Saints in 2013.
That fills out the position coaches on new coach Ben Johnson and Doyle’s staff and would finalize the staff for next season unless Johnson and Doyle create new titles for additional assistants.
