The Bears interviewed the Super Bowl winning head coach on Thursday

The Chicago Bears have been working through their extensive list of head coaching candidates this week. Thus far, they have 16 names on the list, and a couple more names may be added before they are done.

Today, they completed their fourth interview with none other than Pete Carroll.

Carroll is an interesting choice for the Bears given his age. Carroll will be 74 at the start of the 2025 football season. If the Bears eventually choose Carroll, it will certainly be questioned how much longer Carroll wants to...

WCG’s lead draft analyst shares his scouting report of the consensus top running back in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Even if you’re a casual college football fan, you likely know about how well Ashton Jeanty played in 2024.

The Boise State running back was the runner-up for the Heisman Trophy, finishing just 27 rushing yards away from Barry Sanders’ record for the most rushing yards in a single season in college football history. With 2,601 yards and 29 rushing touchdowns averaging 7.0 yards per carry, nearly Jeanty’s entire season would be worthy of making it on his highlight reel.

This will be the 3rd different time Ian Cunningham interviews with the Titans after being a finalist in 2022.

In the ever-changing landscape of the NFL, interview requests are flying left and right for job vacancies opened after “Black Monday.” One such interview request has been submitted for the Chicago Bears.

The Tennessee Titans have formally requested to interview with Chicago Bears Assistant GM Ian Cunningham for their vacant GM position. The news was first reported by Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports.

On Monday, it was mentioned by GM Ryan Poles that Ian Cunningham has already been given clearance to...

The Chicago Bears have a huge list, just how likely is each candidate?

Chicago Bears General Manager Ryan Poles has compiled an extensive list for their search for a new head coach. Thus far, 15 names have been requested to be interviewed, and more could be added.

We take a shot at ranking the coaches from least likely to most likely as the Bears' next head coach.

15. Thomas Brown

Interim coach Thomas Brown beat the Green Bay Packers, but other than that, he didn’t do anything to show the Bears’ brass that he can handle the job. You...

Only one sack allowed this week, and that was partly due to Chicago’s quick pass game plan.

Only one sack allowed by the Chicago Bears on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers, so Caleb Williams finished his rookie season tied for third all-time by being sacked 68 times. Williams was dropped seven times the previous week, so the Bears put together a game plan to limit the pressure, and it worked. Caleb was only hit twice, which was the fewest since their week five win against the Panthers.

Next week, I’ll take a look at some of the Sackwatch numbers...

A couple of high-profile coaching candidates were in the news today regarding the Bears.

News about the Chicago Bears head coach search has been flying since Monday, but earlier tonight, there were a couple of high-profile names mentioned in reports.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the Dallas Cowboys denied Chicago’s request to interview Mike McCarthy, who is still technically their head coach. McCarthy's contract expires on January 14, but if the Cowboys don’t extend him by next Tuesday, he is free to talk with any team he chooses, so he could revisit the Bears' interview request. McCarthy has said his...
