#Bears announce strength and conditioning coach Rusty Jones is retiring. Rusty Jones worked for #Bears past 8 seasons after 20 years with #Bills

Byrd was pretty good, I think. Even with some of the crappier players, he did the best he could.

Sorry to hear Gil Byrd won't be back. I give him a lot of credit for our improvements at Safety.

Yes, I liked Rusty as well. Is Hoke still going to be there?

Positive

Brad Biggs ‏@BradBiggs #Bears DB coach Jon Hoke will return to Marc Trestman's staff this season. 2 starting Pro Bowl corners this season. Good move by #Bears to keep Hoke. He is a strong teacher. Would imagine he gets DC opportunity at some point in near future.

The worm turns.
