After being named the new head coach of the Chicago Bears, Ben Johnson is now working on filling out his coaching staff with the NFC North club.
Johnson has asked the Denver Broncos for permission to interview senior personnel executive David Shaw for Chicago’s offensive coordinator position, according to Brag Biggs of the Chicago Tribune. Shaw previously interviewed for the head coach opening before Johnson was hired.
In addition to Shaw, the Bears are also seeking permission to interview tight ends coach Declan Doyle. Biggs tweeted on Friday that Chicago “would likely to have to give him OC title to get him out of Denver.”
So it appears that two Broncos staffers — Shaw and Doyle — are both candidates for the offensive coordinator position with the Bears.
Elsewhere on the coaching staff front, the New York Jets, San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys are all interested in Chris Banjo, Denver’s assistant special teams coach.
The Broncos already lost executive Darren Mougey to the Jets this offseason. We’ll see if any other staff members leave Denver in the coming weeks.
