Former Bears LB Brian Urlacher Joins FOX Sports As An Analyst

Instead of patrolling defenses at middle linebacker for the Chicago Bears, retired defensive icon Brian Urlacher will be hitting the airwaves.

Urlacher has joined FOX Sports 1 as an NFL analyst, according to the Chicago Tribune.

Urlacher will appear alongside Jay Glazer, Curt Menefee and Ronde Barber on FOX Football Daily starting Aug. 19.

Urlacher retired after a contract dispute with the Bears and eschewed interest from other NFL teams.

I knew Urlacher would be doing something this season whether it be working for FOX, CBS, ESPN, NFL Network or get into coaching. I'm not sure whether I should be excited about this news or not. I do think Urlacher would make a good LB coach though.

 

Another potential Sapp/Irwin 'analyst' Hope it's not but they seem to go for the ratings by picking fabricators as opposed to break down specialists.

 

Holy crap. I see no way he pulls this off.

 

I'll be watching. Two of my all-favorites in Brian and Ronde.

 

He does not seem to me to be the analyzing type.best of luck to the guy though.

 

Kinda what I was thinking. I'll definitely be watching to see how he does.
