Bears hire DeBord as TE coach

CHICAGO (AP) – Mike DeBord has been hired as the Bears’ tight ends coach after spending the past two years as an assistant with the Seattle Seahawks.

The addition of DeBord on Tuesday came one day after Mike Martz replaced the fired Ron Turner as offensive coordinator.

DeBord coached the Seahawks’ tight ends last season after serving as their assistant offensive line coach in 2008.

The Bears need a quarterbacks coach and defensive coordinator after they missed the playoffs for the third consecutive season.

Shane Day, who spent the past three seasons as the 49ers’ quality control coach, interviewed Wednesday for the quarterbacks coach job.
