The Chicago Bears have hired Harry Hiestand.
-
With the Bears announcing the move Wednesday http://www.jaguarscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-quincy-williams-ii-jersey , Hiestand becomes the first assistant to join new coach Matt Nagy’s staff.
Hiestand was Chicago’s offensive line coach under Lovie Smith from 2005-09. With six-time Pro Bowl center Olin Kreutz leading the line, Hiestand oversaw a group that helped the Bears reach a Super Bowl.
He spent the past six seasons coaching Notre Dame’s offensive line. The Fighting Irish averaged 190 yards rushing during that time.
Hiestand has 36 years of coaching experience.
Nagy spent 10 seasons working under Andy Reid in Philadelphia and Kansas City. He was the Chiefs’ sole offensive coordinator this season.

A look at what’s happening around the majors Saturday:
SOX SEEING DEAD RED
A couple of Boston’s top hitters could be in line for a big weekend in Kansas City. Heading into the series opener Friday night Ryquell Armstead Jersey , Mookie Betts, J.D. Martinez and Mitch Moreland had gone a combined 15 for 27 (.556) with six home runs in three games against the Royals. The trio will have another opportunity to feast on Kansas City pitching on Saturday night when 22-year-old rookie Brad Keller takes the mound for the Royals. Keller has a 2.09 ERA in 56 innings this season and is making his seventh start.
RAY’S REBOUND
Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Robbie Ray looked sharp during his first start since missing two months with an oblique strain http://www.jaguarscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-gardner-minshew-ii-jersey , throwing six scoreless innings in a win over Miami. Ray wasn’t nearly as effective in his last start when he allowed six runs in five innings against St. Louis. He is hoping to bounce back when he takes the mound against the San Diego Padres.
CY SEVERINO?
New York Yankees ace Luis Severino made the jump to Cy Young Award contender last season, finishing third in the American League voting after posting a 14-6 record and 2.98 ERA. The 24-year-old right-hander has been even better this season Marquise Brown Jersey , leading the AL in wins (13) and ERA (1.98). Severino will try to add to his stellar resume and help New York keep pace with Boston when he takes the mound at Toronto.
PRIMED PAXTON
Seattle’s James Paxton has experienced plenty of success this season, like his no-hitter against Toronto on May 8. The left-hander had his best start since the no-hitter in his last outing http://www.ravensfootballauthentics.com/jaylon-ferguson-jersey-authentic , striking out 11 while pitching eight innings of two-hit ball in a 1-0 win over Kansas City. Paxton will try to continue his breakout season when the Mariners hosts the Colorado Rockies.
