Eric Washington has been the Buffalo Bills defensive line coach since 2020, serving as assistant head coach the previous two seasons.
The Buffalo Bills’ coaching staff is undergoing changes.
NFL insider Tom Pelissero stated that Eric Washington, the Buffalo Bills’ associate head coach and defensive line coach, has been appointed as the Chicago Bears’ defensive coordinator. Washington has been the defensive line coach since 2020 and will be the deputy head coach in 2022.
Washington previously served as a defensive coordinator for the Carolina Panthers. It’s unclear whether he’ll be the defensive playcaller, as Bears head coach Matt Eberflus handled that role for the majority of the season after prior defensive coordinator Alan Williams stepped down.
Washington isn’t the only Bills coach who has garnered defensive coordinator interest. Linebackers coach Bobby Babich has been asked to interview for defensive coordinator positions with the New York Giants, Green Bay Packers, and Miami Dolphins.
