Ex-Bears TE coach laments lack of pass production - Vaughn McClure: When Mike DeBord reflected on his three seasons with the team, he saw a group of tight ends that played hard and physical but only accounted for 10% of the team's receptions. So did we all, Mike. So did we all...

Ex-Bears aide Spencer restless on sidelines - Vaughn McClure: Tim Spencer, who coached the Bears' RBs for nine seasons, isn't just a proud former Ohio State standout. His son, Evan, is a receiver for the Buckeyes. And Spencer has a lot more free time to catch a Saturday game these days.
