Chicago Bears Interview Candidates for Head Coach

The Chicago Bears have initiated their search for a new head coach, requesting interviews with multiple candidates, including Arizona Cardinals offensive coordinator Drew Petzing and Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson. Petzing, who led the Cardinals to a season where they ranked 12th in points per game and 11th in yards, is seen as a promising candidate despite the team's late-season struggles. The Bears also expressed interest in Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn and Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver. Johnson's impressive performance with the Lions, featuring the second-best offense in the league, has made him a top contender for various coaching positions. With the Bears looking to turn their fortunes around after firing Matt Eberflus, Petzing’s coaching ability and player development track record are under scrutiny. The outcome of these interviews will significantly shape the Bears' future direction.
