The Chicago Bears have made a strategic move by appointing Eric Studesville as their new running backs coach, according to the Chicago Tribune's Brad Biggs. But here's where it gets interesting: this isn't Studesville's first stint with the Bears. In fact, it's his second! He first joined the team as a quality control assistant back in 1997 under former head coach Dave Wannstedt. Since then, Studesville has had a remarkable journey in the NFL, coaching some of the league's top running backs. From the New York Giants to the Buffalo Bills, Denver Broncos, and Miami Dolphins, he's worked with the likes of Marshawn Lynch, Willis McGahee, and Raheem Mostert. Now, he's back with the Bears, ready to mentor D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai, who led the league's third-best rushing attack in 2025. But here's where it gets controversial: some fans might question why the Bears didn't promote from within for this role. There are some talented in-house candidates, including Press Taylor, Antwaan Randle El, and J.T. Barrett. So, what do you think? Is Studesville the right choice, or should the Bears have looked internally? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
