Saints’ Terry Malone in Bears’ Offensive Coordinator Hunt
It has been reported that New Orleans Saints tight end coach Terry Malone is a candidate for the offensive coordinator job with the Chicago Bears. Malone has been successful in taming the one-time problem-player Jeremy Shockey as the former New York Giant has rediscovered his good form in New Orleans. Prior to his time in the NFL Malone was the offensive coordinator at the University of Michigan he was a finalist in 2003 for the Broyles Award (given to the nation’s best assistant coach) when the Wolverines offense set school records for passing with a freshmen quarterback in Chad Henne. Malone also had success calling plays at Bowling Green University where in 1994 the Falcons went 9-2. The Bears would have to wait to interview Malone until after the Super Bowl where the Saints take on the Indianapolis Colts.
