Bears promote Lee to LB coach

The Bears did not waste time filling their vacated linebackers coach
position, promoting Lloyd Lee from within the organization.

Lee becomes the third linebackers coach in three seasons, taking over
for Hardy Nickerson, who resigned last week. Lee spent the last four
seasons as an assistant on the staff, working specifically with nickel
backs last season.

By moving Lee, 31, up the ladder, Smith avoids being bombarded next
week at the Senior Bowl -- an informal coaching convention -- by those
seeking work.

Lee assisted then-linebacker coach Bob Babich in 2006 after serving as
a defensive quality-control coach for his first two years on staff. He
turned down an interview before the '06 season with the Buffalo Bills,
who were interested in hiring him as a linebackers coach. Lee
previously worked for three years as a pro scout with the Tampa Bay
Buccaneers and spent time as a safety with the San Diego Chargers from
1998 to '99 after a distinguished career at Dartmouth.

The Bears also hired Eric Washington from Northwestern to serve as
assistant defensive line coach.
