Tice had served as the offensive line coach for the Bears since the 2009 season. Prior to that, Tice was the "assistant head coach: offense" and coached the tight ends for the Jacksonville Jaguars. As Glazer reports, Tice will be focused on the running game for the Bears while another coach will be paired with him to deal with the passing game duties.
