The Chicago Bears hired Reggie Herring as linebackers coach and Paul Pasqualoni as defensive line coach, the team announced Thursday.
Herring, 54, has 33 years of coaching experience, including eight as a linebackers coach in the NFL.
Pasqualoni, 64, has 42 years of coaching experience, including 22 as a collegiate head coach and six seasons as a NFL assistant.
The two coaches worked together with the Cowboys in 2010 when Pasqualoni was Dallas’ defensive coordinator/defensive line coach and Herring was the linebackers coach.
Herring spent the last three seasons (2011-13) as the linebackers coach of the Houston Texans, his second such stint with the team (2002-03).
Pasqualoni was most recently head coach at the University of Connecticut (2011-13) before being fired four games into the 2013 season. He also has served as head coach at Syracuse (1991-2004) and Western Connecticut (1982-86).
As a collegiate head coach, Pasqualoni compiled a 151-94-1 record, posted 15 winning seasons, won five conference titles and led his teams to a 6-3 record in nine bowl games.
