Chicago Bears: Al Harris passed over for another defensive coordinator job
Chicago Bears secondary coach Al Harris has been a hot name on the NFL coaching carousel this off-season. After his secondary led the NFL in turnovers in 2025, his first season with the Bears, he garnered defensive coordinator interviews with multiple teams around the league. These included one of the teams he played for during his career, Chicago’s arch-rival, the Green Bay Packers.
However, Green Bay decided to hire Jonathan Gannon, formerly of the Arizona Cardinals, instead of Harris. And now, another job that he was considered one of the favorites for has been filled.
Chicago Bears coach Al Harris passed over for defensive coordinator of the Washington Commanders
After he was passed over by his former team, Harris was interviewed by the Washington Commanders for their defensive coordinator opening. Many thought that the long-time secondary coach would get the job, too, due to his time with Dan Quinn while the two were on staff together with the Dallas Cowboys.

However, Quinn and the Commanders opted to hire Minnesota Vikings defensive pass game coordinator Daronte Jones:

The Commanders hiring Jones benefits the Bears in two ways. The first, obviously, is that Harris remains in Chicago (at least for now). Secondly, Minnesota’s coaching staff is weakened considerably with the subtraction of Jones.
