The #Bears are hiring Richard Hightower as their special teams coordinator, per sources.

Hightower held the same position the past five seasons in San Francisco. Another big hire for Matt Eberflus.

VICTORY

Lol at another big hire

I agree. They consider that a big hire? Sounds like something a guy would write that only saw the GB game.

And that's that. Okay then. Bye. Love the Lynn hire. Let's see them do it again with ST. Oooo...Lombardi just threw out Joe Judge on the twitternets. Interesting

I thought only if a minority was hired as a GM or head coach. Idk I might be wrong about the crazy rule.

I think you're right, for a 3rd round pick.

i was hoping for even a 6th which seems to be our sweet spot

I'm pretty sure you're right. I read the rule and it looks like a team only receives draft picks if the minority coach is getting a HC or GM job. Assistants don't count. The compensation is 2 third rounders in the next 2 drafts. That's how the Niners got the extra 3rd round pick in 2022 when Saleh left.
