Lake Forest, IL (SportsNetwork.com) - Former San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Vic Fangio is joining the Chicago Bears in the same role, the team announced Tuesday. Fangio, the architect of one of the NFLs premier defenses during a four-year run in San Francisco, bolted the 49ers after being passed over in favor of defensive line coach Jim Tomsula to become Jim Harbaughs successor as the teams head coach. The longtime NFL assistant instead joins the staff of newly named Bears head coach John Fox, where Fangio will be in charge of rebuilding a defense that was one of the leagues most porous units Chicago has ranked 30th overall in total defense in each of the past two seasons, while the 442 points the Bears allowed in 2014 were surpassed only by Oakland for the most in the league. Chicago finished 30th in scoring defense the previous year. In contrast, the 49ers ranked in the top five in total defense in each of Fangios four years at the helm, and were one of only three teams to record 25 or more takeaways in each of the last three seasons. San Francisco also finished second, second and third in scoring defense from 2011-13 before ending 10th in that category this past year. Those numbers helped the Niners reach the NFC Championship Game in three straight seasons from 2011-13, as well as an appearance in Super Bowl XLVII. The 56-year-old Fangio also served as the defensive coordinator for Indianapolis (1999-2001) and Houston (2002-05) and will entering his 29th season as an NFL assistant. Additionally, he was the defensive coordinator under Harbaugh at Stanford in 2010, helping the Cardinal to a 12-1 record and a final ranking of fourth in the Associated Press Top 25.

The Argos released their depth chart for Fridays game against the Ottawa Redblacks and Ray is out for the must-win home game against Ottawa after suffering a concussion in Sundays 17-14 road loss to the Montreal Alouettes. Backup Trevor Harris is expected to make his first CFL start against the Redblacks. Watch tonights action unfold on TSN1, TSN3, TSN4 and TSN5 at 7pm et/4pm pt. Ricky would be doubtful, at best, head coach Scott Milanovich said. Im planning right now on Trevor playing but its not out of the realm of possibility (Ray) could play. Hed have to essentially get cleared and then come and say, Listen, youve got to play me, Ive got to be in there. Theres a lot of stuff that has to take place before that can happen. Toronto (7-10) remains in playoff contention but doesnt control its destiny. The Argos must beat expansion Ottawa (2-15), then have Montreal (9-8) defeat the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (8-9) on Saturday afternoon to secure second and host either B.C. or Saskatchewan in the East Division semifinal Nov. 16. Hamilton would clinch second place by beating Montreal and could take first place — and home field for the East final Nov. 23 — if that victory was by eight points or more. Ray, 35, has made all 17 regular-season starts and leads the CFL in attempts (620), completions (425), passing yards (4,595), TDs (28) and completion percentage (68.5). Toronto leads the league in passing yards (4,767), touchdowns (29) and efficiency rating (95.3). Ray, in his 12th CFL season, has 15 interceptions — tied with B.C.s Kevin Glenn for second-most. But Torontos receiving corps has been plagued by injuries this season to veterans Andre Durie, Jason Barnes, Chad Owens and John Chiles as well as promising rookie slotback Anthony Coombs. The possibility of not having (Ray) this week is big ... hes our leader, Owens said. If Ricky cant go, Im really excited to watch Trevor Harris play a full football game. Hes a competitor, a hard worker on and off the field. He comes to work every day and prepares like hes playing. I know if hes going to get his opportunity hell be ready and well be right there to have his back. Harris, 28, is completing his third CFL campaign, all with Toronto. After spending his first two seasons as the No. 3 quarterback, Harris was promoted to Rays backup after Zach Collaros signed as a free agent with Hamilton this off-season. Harris has played sparingly this season, completing 16 of 24 passes for 168 yards. Over his CFL career, the former Edinboro University star is 33 of 58 passing (56.9 per cent) for 424 yards with one TD. He has also rushed five times for 20 yards. Harris replaced the injured Ray late in Sundays game, completing one of four passes for eight yards. I thought he was poised, Milanovich said. I liked the look in his eye. A coach can understand theres a look in a quarterbacks eye when they go into a gamme, particularly a meaningful game, where you can tell if theyre with you or if their nerves are there.dddddddddddd I thought Trevor was in a good mindset, which is encouraging for Friday night. Harris, a six-foot-three 209-pound native of Waldo, Ohio, said his preparation this week wont differ from what it has been since joining the Argos. Youve got to prepare every week as if youre the starter, he said. As cliche as that sounds, as a quarterback thats really what you have to do and your job is to be ready at any time. But youd be lying to say theres not a little more sense of urgency, theres not a little more antsiness to get excited that theres a possibility you could play. Harris enjoyed a productive career at Edinboro (2006-09), amassing 11,899 passing yards and 100 TD passes. In his final collegiate game, Harris completed 50 of 70 passes for a Division II playoff-record 630 yards and five TDs while running for two more in a wild 84-63 playoff loss to West Liberty. Harris has spent three years learning from Ray, a three-time Grey Cup champion and one of the most accurate passers in CFL history (67.6 career passing percentage). Last year, he watched Collaros go 5-2 as Torontos starter replacing an injured Ray. Every quarterback is different, every situation is different, Milanovich said. I just want him to play within himself. (Harris) has got to play the game the way he feels comfortable and we need to give him an opportunity and give him things that hes comfortable doing. I want him to play aggressive, smart football. Harris agrees. Theres no different mindset, no different approach, he said. Im just going to stay within the offence and do what I do. Ricky and I are pretty much the same style of player. Im not ever claiming to be Ricky Ray, hes a Hall of Famer, we just kind of have the same sort of style. And should Ray not play Sunday, hell still be on Torontos sidelines. When you have a Hall of Famer right by your side thats done this a few times, Im probably going to be picking his brain, Harris said. You learn from Ricky by watching him. What you see on the field is his personality in life. He never gets too excited. I swear if you told him you won $5 million hed be like, Oh, cool. Thats just him. Milanovich said Torontos psyche remains solid despite Sundays disappointing loss. I think were fine, he said. It was disappointing going into the fourth quarter with a touchdown lead and not being able to finish it but there were some positives we can take out of it too. Thats the hottest team in the league and we had an opportunity to win the game. We didnt and weve got to forget about it and understand our season isnt over, that we have to take care of our business Friday night and see where it goes from there. Toronto also lost cornerback Vincent Agnew (Achilles) and defensive lineman Marcus Thomas (foot) to season-ending injuries Sunday. On Tuesday, the Argos released receiver/kick-returner LaVon Brazill.
