Bears special-teams coordinator Joe DeCamillis’ task? Fixing Devin Hester
It’s not like Dave Toub would just wind up Devin Hester and let him go. But coaching Hester usually was the least of his concerns as the Bears’ special-teams coordinator. Joe DeCamillis isn’t so fortunate. As the Bears’ special-teams coordinator under new coach Marc Trestman, DeCamillis has inherited one of the best special-teams units in the NFL with a particularly high-profile challenge: getting Hester right again.
