Chicago Bears Expand Head Coaching Search with New Candidate Interviews

The Bears have interviewed 14 candidates, including top NFL coordinators and former head coaches, as they navigate restrictions tied to ongoing playoffs.

• The Chicago Bears have interviewed 14 candidates for their head coaching vacancy, including Todd Monken, Joe Brady, and Brian Flores in recent days.
• Todd Monken, Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator, led the NFL's top offense in 2024 and has helped Lamar Jackson win two MVP awards during his tenure.
• Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady oversaw a high-performing offense in 2024, excelling in both passing and rushing despite roster changes.
• Current NFL rules limit in-person interviews for candidates still active in the playoffs, requiring the Bears to conduct virtual interviews with Monken, Brady, and others.
