Where Bears coaching staff stands after Chris Beatty hiring originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago
Less than one month after firing offensive coordinator Luke Getsy, quarterbacks coach Andrew Janocko, wide receivers coach Tyke Tolbert and running backs coach Omar Young, the Bears offensive coaching staff is nearly filled out again.

Waldron has worked with a wide variety of quarterbacks, including Geno Smith, Russell Wilson and Jared Goff.
QUARTERBACKS COACH – KERRY JOSEPH
Joseph followed Waldron from Seattle to Chicago. Like Waldron, he earned praise for helping to develop Geno Smith from an NFL has-been to a legit starter. Joseph has eight years of coaching experience, including four years in the NFL.
