The Facts:
The Bears on Friday finalized their coaching staff by naming Rod Marinelli defensive coordinator, Eric Washington defensive line coach and Shane Day quarterbacks coach. Reported by ChicagoBears.com

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Marinelli, who also will retain his title as assistant HC, joined the Bears a year ago as DL coach after spending the previous three seasons as HC of the Lions. ... Marinelli and new OC Mike Martz will be more involved with a position group this season than Bears coordinators have been in the past, with Marinelli continuing to work with the defensive line and Martz tutoring quarterbacks along with Day, previously a quality control coach for the 49ers. Day also worked with new TEs coach Mike DeBord at Michigan in 2005-06. In addition to Martz, Day and DeBord, other Bears offensive coaches include the recently hired Mike Tice (OL) and holdovers Darryl Drake (WRs) and Tim Spencer (RBs).
