Bears promote Babich to defensive coordinator

Football Betting Lines

02/20/2007 - Lake Forest, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Chicago Bears named Bob Babich the team's defensive coordinator on Tuesday, one day after announcing that Ron Rivera would no longer own that title.

Babich has been an assistant coach in Chicago since 2004, starting as the team's linebackers coach before later being promoted to assistant head coach/linebackers last season.

Rivera was almost immediately hired as the Chargers' linebackers coach after officially being relieved of his duties in Chicago.

Throughout his time with the Bears, Babich has held the responsibility of signaling the defensive play-calls to the players on the field from the sideline. During that time the Bears have led the NFL in percentage of points off turnovers, total defensive takeaways, third-down defense and opponent quarterback rating while ranking second in the NFL in defensive red-zone touchdown ratio, defensive touchdowns and interceptions.

Babich was the first coach to join Lovie Smith's staff, coming over from St. Louis where he served as the linebackers coach while Smith was the defensive coordinator for the Rams. The two also worked together at Tulsa (1984-86) where Smith oversaw the linebackers while Babich worked with tight ends and assisted with the offensive line.
