Matt Eberflus has avoiding being heavy-handed about the defense he will be rebuilding as head coach of the Bears. It’ll have his stamp on it, but he has all but handed over the day-to-day reins to defensive coordinator Alan Williams.
Eberflus turned to another former coach this week to help point that defense in the right direction and he couldn’t have picked a much better one — former Bears defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli, who was a guest at veteran mini-camp Tuesday and will speak to the team Wednesday.
