The Bears named veteran coach Phil Snow their defensive analyst Monday.
They had been on the lookout for help since defensive coordinator Alan Williams resigned in Week 3. Sources confirmed Williams left as a result of his behavior in the workplace.
Snow will work inside Halas Hall to develop advance scouting reports for coach Matt Eberflus off film study. He’ll present them in Monday and Tuesday meetings but won’t attend games.
Snow was most recently the Panthers’ defensive coordinator in 2020-22. He followed coach Matt Rhule from Baylor to the NFL and has spent most of his career in the college ranks.
He is connected to Eberflus through Eberflus’ mentor, former Bears defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli, who since has retired.
When Marinelli was the Lions’ head coach in 2006-08, Snow was his linebackers coach. The two worked together at Cal in the late 1980s and Arizona State in the early 1990s.
