Daily Cal: Bears Name Marshall Offensive Line Coach

By Andrew Kim

After weeks of speculation following former offensive line coach Jim Michalczik's departure to Washington, the Cal football team filled a gaping hole in its staff with another big name.  Coach Jeff Tedford introduced Steve Marshall, formerly with the Cleveland Browns, as the Bears' new offensive line coach today.  "Steve really understands the fundamentals and techniques of superior offensive line play," Tedford said in a statement. "He brings experience and expertise to the position, and he has coached a lot of quality offensive linemen. It is great to have him on board and we are fired up about the future of our offensive line. I think he's going to fit in very well with our program."  Marshall, 52, has been a bit of a journeyman in his coaching career, having been with 10 different college programs as well as two NFL teams, the Houston Texans and the Browns.
