Bears hire Austin King as assistant offensive line coach

The Bears have added another assistant in Austin King, who will serve as the assistant offensive line coach.

The Chicago Bears continue to fill out Matt Eberflus’ coaching staff, which includes an impressive list of names that are aiming to get the team back on track.

Chicago already found their offensive line coach in Chris Morgan. Now, the Bears have hired Austin King as their assistant offensive line coach, the team announced Monday.

King, a former center, has spent the last two seasons with the Las Vegas Raiders. He served as an offensive quality control coach in 2020 before being promoted to tight ends coach in 2021.

King was a fourth-round draft selection by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2003 out of Northwestern, so he’s got some midwestern roots.

Eberflus has assembled an impressive coaching staff thus far, which includes offensive coordinator Luke Getsy, defensive coordinator Alan Williams, special teams coordinator Richard Hightower and quarterbacks coach Andrew Janocko, among others.

The only position coach spots left to fill are at defensive line and running back.

Here’s a look at how Eberflus’ coaching staff has filled out:
