The Bears promoted Mike Tice to offensive coordinator following Mike Martz's departure, but the team still has a couple of positions on the staff to fill.

The team wants to hire a passing game coordinator to work with Tice, and according to Seth Jensen of the Sun-Times, the Bears were denied permission to speak with Tennessee Titans quarterback coach Dowell Loggains.

The Bears are looking for a passing game coordinator/ quarterbacks coach to pair with newly appointed offensive coordinator Mike Tice, who will also have significant input on the offensive line. The Bears are also still planning to hire an offensive line coach to help him.

Jay Cutler had hoped the Bears could hire Loggains, as the two have worked together in the past.
