Chicago Bears Pursue Head Coaching Candidates

The Chicago Bears are actively searching for a new head coach, with several candidates in play. Iowa State's Matt Campbell, who has shown success in college football, is set to meet with the Bears after leading his team to an 11–3 record this season. Additionally, Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson is scheduled to interview with the Bears along with the Jaguars, while the team has also expressed interest in Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kafka, despite skepticism regarding his qualifications. The Bears' attempt to interview former Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy was denied by Dallas, complicating their search. As Chicago navigates this coaching cycle, fan reactions and media opinions highlight concerns about the potential hires, particularly Kafka. The Bears must make a strategic decision, as their choice will significantly impact the future of the franchise.
