Coaching career

Oregon

In 2005, Butkus began his coaching career at the University of Oregon as a graduate assistant coach. He would serve in this position until 2006.

Chicago Bears

In 2007, Butkus was hired by the Chicago Bears as an offensive assistant and assistant offensive line coach under head coach Lovie Smith.

While the announcement that the tenure of quality control coaches Butkus and Charles London would end came on the same day as the public learned that several Bears' offensive coaches would be fired, leading to speculation that London and Butkus were fired for performance issues, the team would later clarify that the quality control coaches were signed to contracts set to expire after the 2009/10 season, regardless of the team's final standing.^[2]
