The Chicago Bears have reached an agreement with Jeremy Bates to become the team's quarterbacks coach, according to ESPN Insider Adam Schefter.
The Bears pursued Bates as offensive coordinator before the 2010 season, but he turned them down to join the Seattle Seahawks. Bates was later fired on Jan. 18, 2011 as offensive coordinator.
The 35-year-old previously coached for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, New York Jets and Denver Broncos in various roles.
Bates is now re-united with Jay Cutler, who he previously worked with in Denver.
