Everything about the Bears coaching search here.
The reports and rumors will be flying wild over the next several weeks, and with rules and guidelines in place before NFL teams can hire their new head coaches, we wanted to gather a story stream with everything we have regarding the Chicago Bears search. If there's something out there about a potential head coach, the odds are good that one of our team members has written up a candidate profile in the stream below.
The Bears aren't the only team looking for a new head coach, as the Las Vegas Raiders, New England Patriots, Jacksonville Jaguars, New York Jets, and New Orleans Saints will also be in the market.
