Harris joined the Bears in 2025 after spending four seasons (2020–2024) with the Dallas Cowboys, where he served as defensive backs coach and was elevated to assistant head coach in 2024. Under his guidance, the Cowboys’ secondary led the NFL in interceptions from 2021 to 2024, with players like Trevon Diggs and DaRon Bland achieving elite individual success.
As of January 22, 2026, Harris has interviewed for the defensive coordinator position with the Green Bay Packers, following Jeff Hafley’s departure to become the Miami Dolphins’ head coach. He is also a candidate for the defensive coordinator role with the Washington Commanders, where he previously worked under head coach Dan Quinn from 2021 to 2023.
Despite strong interest from multiple teams, Harris remains with the Bears for now, having helped lead a defense that ranked first in the NFL in interceptions (23) and third in total takeaways (33) during the 2025 season.
