"The Tribune's Brad Biggs suggests to keep an eye on Eric Studesville and Duce Staley as potential candidates for the Bears' vacancy at RBs coach. We discussed Studesville as a possible option earlier in the week, but Staley is a new name to consider. Like Studesville, Staley has coaching experience alongside Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson. The two were together with the Detroit Lions in 2021 and 2022. Since then, Staley has coached with the Carolina Panthers (2023) and Cleveland Browns (2024-25)."
"For what it's worth, Browns running backs weren't awful last year. Rookie Quinshon Judkins put up 827 rushing yards and seven ground scores in 14 games. And while Cleveland didn't have a 1,000-yard rusher in either of the last two seasons, we did see Jerome Ford average 5.4 yards per carry in 14 games last season. In any case, moving on from Cleveland to coach the two-headed monster of D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai in Chicago feels like it would be a worthwhile move."
The Chicago Bears need a new running backs coach after Eric Bieniemy left to become the Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator. Reported candidates include Eric Studesville and Duce Staley, both of whom worked with Bears head coach Ben Johnson during their time with the Detroit Lions in 2021–2022. Staley later coached with the Carolina Panthers in 2023 and the Cleveland Browns in 2024–25. Cleveland's running backs showed solid production, with Quinshon Judkins rushing for 827 yards and seven touchdowns and Jerome Ford averaging 5.4 yards per carry last season. Staley also had a notable NFL playing career.
