The Chicago Bears appear set to make a historic move.
For the first time in the organization’s 103-year existence, the Bears are poised to employ a female coach in 2024. Chicago is hiring Jennifer King as an assistant coach, according to a Tuesday afternoon report from Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports.
King, 39, has spent the past three years as an assistant running backs coach for the Washington Commanders. Upon her hiring on a full-time basis by the Commanders ahead of the 2021 season, she became the first Black female coach in NFL history.
