The Chicago Bears have announced the hiring of former Saints head coach Dennis Allen as their defensive coordinator and former Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Declan Doyle as their offensive coordinator. The team has also retained special teams coordinator Richard Hightower, who previously served as the 49ers’ special teams director. Allen, who was fired by the Saints during the 2024 season, is widely regarded as a top candidate for the defensive coordinator role after Ben Johnson agreed to take the Bears head coaching position in Chicago. Doyle, who worked with Allen on the Saints staff before moving to Denver, will now join the Bears’ offensive unit under Johnson’s leadership.
