During his time with the Falcons, Pees contributed as a defensive assistant, while with the Titans, he worked as both a defensive assistant and quality control coach, primarily focusing on the defensive line. Prior to his NFL experience, Pees spent eight years coaching at the high school level.
Notably, Pees arrives following a successful stint with the Falcons, where their defense recorded 42 sacks, marking the sixth-highest total in franchise history. Additionally, the Falcons' defense led the NFL in fewest penalty yards and ranked second in allowing the fewest second-half points per game (7.9) during his tenure.
This hiring aligns with the Bears' strategy of bringing in experienced defensive minds, as seen last season with the addition of former Carolina defensive coordinator Phil Snow to a similar role.
