What’s the latest with the Chicago Bears?
With just one game left this season, the focus has shifted to what’s gearing up to be an important offseason for the Bears. It’ll be headlined by the team’s coaching search, which will be wide-ranging and be searching for a “leader of men” but also someone who can help develop quarterback Caleb Williams. But following a disaster of a season, where Chicago started 4-2 and have been on a 10-game losing streak ever since, receiver DJ Moore wondered if it might make any coaching candidates hesitate about taking the job.
Here’s a look at the most recent and relevant Bears stories for the morning of Sunday, Dec. 29:
DJ Moore thinks Bears’ failed season could make coaching candidates hesitate
With many in the NFL media circles have listed Chicago as a hot destination for a potential head coach, Moore says the team as players haven’t done a good job of putting together good film to intrigue and excite potential candidates. He would add that there could be doubts from potential candidates on how this Bears team could get fixed quickly with a new head coach.
Week 17 rooting guide: Who Bears need to win, lose for draft position
Chicago is currently sitting at No. 7 in the draft order — after their Thursday Night Football loss to the Seattle Seahawks — but things will shift as Saturday and Sunday games get underway.

With the recent firing of Matt Nagy as head coach of the Chicago Bears, many are wondering if coaching candidates will be deterred from considering the job in the Windy City. Despite the historic franchise and passionate fan base, the Bears have struggled in recent years and have a reputation for being a tough place to coach.
The team’s ownership and front office have been criticized for their handling of previous coaching hires and the lack of success on the field. Additionally, the constant media scrutiny and high expectations from fans can make it a challenging environment for any coach.
However, the allure of coaching in a major market like Chicago and the opportunity to turn around a storied franchise may still be appealing to some candidates. It will be interesting to see if the Bears are able to attract top coaching talent or if the recent struggles and reputation will deter potential candidates from considering the job. Stay tuned for updates on the coaching search in Chicago.
