Barone will replace Kevin Gilbride Jr., who was fired by the Bears on Dec. 31. The addition of Barone leaves the Bears with vacancies at offensive coordinator and assistant special teams coach.
Barone, 56, began his career in 1987 with American River College and entered the NFL ranks with the Falcons in 2004. He has served as an offensive line coach and tight ends coach during his time in the NFL.
Barone most recently coached with the Vikings, serving as their tight ends coach in 2017 and offensive line coach in 2018. He didn't coach in 2019.
Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune first reported the news that the Bears had agreed to a deal with Barone.
