Chicago Bears Interview Interim Coach Thomas Brown

The Chicago Bears have been actively interviewing candidates for their head coaching vacancy, recently completing interviews with interim head coach Thomas Brown and former Atlanta Falcons head coach Arthur Smith. Brown, who went 1-4 as interim head coach following the firing of Matt Eberflus, had a challenging tenure marked by a six-game losing streak that preceded his promotion. In contrast, Smith, who served as the Steelers' offensive coordinator, is viewed as a strong candidate after improving the Steelers' scoring rankings despite a disappointing end to their season. Brown's prior experience as passing game coordinator and offensive coordinator raised questions about his ability to lead the team, but he managed a notable win against the Packers in his final game. The Bears have now interviewed a total of 11 candidates, including notable figures from other teams, in their search for a new head coach. The organization is looking for a fresh direction as they aim to overhaul their current culture and performance on the field.
