The Chicago Bears have made a strategic move by hiring Eric Studesville as their new running backs coach, according to the Chicago Tribune's Brad Biggs. This appointment marks Studesville's second tenure with the Bears, following his initial role as a quality control assistant in 1997 under former head coach Dave Wannstedt. Studesville's extensive NFL coaching experience includes notable teams like the New York Giants, Buffalo Bills, Denver Broncos, and Miami Dolphins, where he held various positions, including interim head coach and offensive coordinator. His impressive track record includes a Super Bowl championship with the Broncos in 2016. Studesville's expertise lies in mentoring top-tier running backs, such as Marshawn Lynch, Willis McGahee, and C.J. Anderson. Now, he'll be working with the dynamic duo of D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai, who led the league's third-best rushing attack in 2025. This appointment comes as a replacement for Eric Bieniemy, who recently joined the Kansas City Chiefs' coaching staff. Additionally, the Bears are in the process of finding a new offensive coordinator to replace Declan Doyle, with potential in-house candidates including Press Taylor, Antwaan Randle El, and J.T. Barrett. The Bears Wire encourages fans to follow their social media accounts for the latest updates on this and other team developments.
