Career highlights and awards

Alfred Carl Harris (born December 31, 1956) is a former professional American football defensive end and linebacker in the National Football League for the Chicago Bears during the early 1980s. He played with the team from 1979 to 1984. Harris sat out the entire 1985 season due to a contract dispute with the team - and missed being part of one of the most dominating Super Bowl teams of all time.

Harris returned in 1986, but a hamstring injury and the contract dispute still lingered over his tenure with the Bears, and he signed a free agent contract with the Philadelphia Eagles in the off-season in 1989. He played two years with the Eagles before retiring.

Harris is a Leilehua High School of Wahiawa, Hawaii alumni.

As of January 12, 2009, he is the pass rush specialist coach for the San Francisco 49ers.[1]

Harris was dismissed by the San Francisco 49ers on December 27, 2010 after 49ers President Jed York fired Head coach Mike Singletary. "York: New GM will decide on next coach". sacbee.com. http://blogs.sacbee.com/49ers/archives/2010/12/york-new-gm-wil.html. Retrieved 2010-12-27.
