    Use the App to customize your own tuning by editing and saving your sound profile, or choosing from preset EQs.

    Trump named Chris Wright, an oil and gas industry executive with no political experience, to lead the US Department of Energy.

  • Reports: Arsenal tracking Bayern Munich forward – Arseblog News


    Various reports suggest Arsenal are interested in France U21 international Mathys Tel who has apparently decided to leave Bayern Munich before the end of the transfer window.

    The 19 year old joined the German giants from Rennes in 2022, and in 82 appearances has scored 16 goals and made 7 assists. His role this season has been peripheral however, playing just 396 minutes across all competitions with just 1 Bundesliga assist to his name.

    The Gunners need for reinforcements is obvious, with Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus sidelined, so a move for a versatile forward would make sense. Tel has featured across the front three during his time in Munich, and would provide some depth for the likes of Kai Havertz, Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard who are carrying a heavy burden at present.

    It is believed Bayern are willing to let Tel go, but any loan deal this month could require an obligation to buy in the summer – and having paid almost €30m for him, they’d be keen to recoup as much as possible from any sale.

    Arsenal are not the only London club sniffing around, with Sp*rs and Chelsea both paying attention to his situation, and Man Utd reportedly keen too, but he could well a name we hear more of between now and the transfer deadline on Monday, February 3rd (11pm).

    For the first time this window, we’ve broken out the Poo-O-Meter, so let’s see what happens.



    Reports: Arsenal tracking Bayern Munich forward

    According to recent reports, Arsenal are keeping a close eye on Bayern Munich forward as they look to bolster their attacking options in the upcoming transfer window. The Gunners have been impressed with the player’s performances and believe he could be a valuable addition to their squad.

    While no official bid has been made yet, Arsenal are said to be in talks with the player’s representatives to discuss a potential move. The forward has expressed an interest in playing in the Premier League and could be tempted by a switch to London.

    It remains to be seen whether Bayern Munich will be willing to let go of their star player, but Arsenal are determined to do everything they can to secure his signature. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.

  • Chicago Bears coaching search: Tracking the latest developments


    After a 5-12, last-place season that included 10 consecutive losses and the in-season firings of coach Matt Eberflus and offensive coordinator Shane Waldron, the Chicago Bears embarked on a wide-ranging search to hire the franchise’s next head coach.

    That mission was completed this week when the organization hired Ben Johnson, the Detroit Lions offensive coordinator who was highly sought after during this hiring cycle.

    Bears general manager Ryan Poles began the search promising to cast a wide net with hopes of speaking with coaches from many backgrounds with varying experience.

    “We’re turning every stone to make sure we’re doing this the right way,” he said. “We’re going to move with urgency, but we’re not going to rush the process. Again, because we want it to be a sound process.”

    The Tribune has been tracking all the latest developments — and what comes next.

    Monday

    Thomas Brown is joining the coaching staff of the New England Patriots

    What it means: After one whirlwind season at Halas Hall, Brown has agreed to join Mike Vrabel’s coaching staff in New England, according to the NFL Network. Brown is signing on as the team’s new passing game coordinator and tight ends coach and will do so after serving as the Bears interim head coach for the final five games of this season.

    Brown was promoted to that role following the Bears’ Nov. 29 firing of Matt Eberflus. He had been the team’s offensive coordinator for three games but only assumed those responsibilities after the Bears fired Shane Waldron in Week 11. Prior to that promotion, Brown was the Bears passing game coordinator under Eberflus and Waldron.

    Brown called the experience “difficult.”

    “It was challenging,” he said after the season ended. “But I learned a lot more about myself just this year — and I’ve probably grown more as a coach — than the last maybe two or three years combined. Just because of having to wear three different hats in the same building and also having to adjust and adapt on the fly. … Difficult is a part of life. And difficult doesn’t mean irrelevant.”

    Brown went 1-4 as interim head coach but helped the Bears win their season finale with a 24-22 upset of the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. That game ended with a game-winning drive from rookie quarterback Caleb Williams punctuated by a walkoff 51-yard field goal by Cairo Santos.

    Brown was in the mix to remain as Bears head coach and interviewed with the organization for that position on Jan. 13. He was one of 17 candidates that the team announced interviews for. But the Bears ultimately landed their top target for the job with last week’s hiring of Ben Johnson. Now Brown will move on to a new job with a new organization with the Patriots becoming his fourth team in as many seasons.

    Sunday

    Ben Johnson is finalizing his coordinators with Dennis Allen on defense and Declan Doyle on offense

    What it means: In addition to the hirings of Allen and Doyle, the Bears plan to retain Richard Hightower as their special teams coordinator.

    Johnson’s coaching staff is coming together quickly in the first week since he became Bears head coach, and solidifying his coordinators is a big step in the process.

    Johnson acknowledged last week that he had never coached with or even met Allen. So quickly forging a working relationship with his new defensive coordinator will be a challenge and a top priority.

    Allen, 52, spent the past three seasons as the head coach of the New Orleans Saints and had a previous 36-game run as the Raiders head coach from 2012 until 2014. His winning percentage as a head coach (.329) left something to be desired. But his experience in that role should be helpful to Johnson. In addition to having the experience and ability to take the reins of the Bears defense, Allen should help Johnson transition into the head coaching realm for the first time by helping him to anticipate issues, resolve problems and identify blind spots.

    Allen also has eight seasons of coordinator experience, including one with John Fox in Denver (2011) and seven with Sean Payton in New Orleans (2015-2021). Over the years, his defenses have been aggressive and proven adaptable. And it stands to reason that he will continue to run a 4-3 system with the Bears.

    Doyle, 28, also comes from the Payton tree, having spent the past two seasons as the tight ends coach with the Broncos. Doyle was an offensive assistant in New Orleans for the four seasons before that, one under Allen and three under Payton. With Johnson planning to call the plays for the Bears offense, Doyle will become instrumental in the preparation process for each game.

    Bears hire Antwaan Randle El as their new receivers coach/assistant head coach and J.T. Barrett as quarterbacks coach

    What this means: Two days after being announced as the Bears new head coach, Ben Johnson has made several significant additions to his coaching staff including two familiar faces. Randle El and Barrett were both with Johnson in Detroit in the roles of receivers coach and assistant quarterback coach, respectively, and will now help Johnson get his program launched at Halas Hall.

    Johnson has also hired Al Harris to lead the Bears defensive backs.

    Randle El is a local product, an alumnus and star football player at Thornton High School in Harvey. He went on to play at Indiana and was a two-time All-Big Ten selection (and Silver Football winner) before enjoying a nine-season NFL career with Pittsburgh and Washington.

    Randle El’s coaching career begin in 2019 in Tampa Bay. But he spent the past two seasons with Johnson in Detroit working with the Lions receivers, continuing the development of All-Pro playmaker Amon-Ra St. Brown. The Lions offense finished the 2024 regular season with 68 touchdowns — more than double the total of the Bears offense. Detroit also averaged a league-best 33.2 points per game.

    Barrett, 30, was in the quarterbacks room with Jared Goff in Detroit, serving beneath Lions quarterbacks coach Mark Brunell. As a player, Barrett was a three-time All-Big Ten selection at Ohio State and won the Silver Football in 2016 before spending two seasons in the NFL as a practice squad player with the Saints, Seahawks and Steelers. He will now be tasked with overseeing and catalyzing the development of Bears quarterback Caleb Williams.

    Harris, meanwhile, has been coaching the secondary for the Dallas Cowboys for the past five seasons and was Mike McCarthy’s assistant head coach this past season. As a player, for 15 seasons in the NFL, Harris totaled 21 interceptions and was twice honored as a Pro Bowl selection. He will now take over a cornerbacks group at Halas Hall that includes two-time Pro Bowl honoree Jaylon Johnson as well as Kyler Gordon and Tyrique Stevenson.

    Bears hire Detroit Lions coordinator Ben Johnson as their next head coach

    Expand

    What it means: The search is over. The Bears have found their man. Fifty-three days after Matt Eberflus was fired and 12 days after team higher-ups began interviewing head coaching candidates, the Bears reached an agreement to make Johnson the 19th head coach in franchise history.

    The news broke less than 41 hours after Johnson’s season in Detroit came to an abrupt end in a 45-31 playoff loss to the Washington Commanders. And the union was solidified before Johnson conducted an in-person interview at Halas Hall. That’s how serious both sides were in getting something done.

    The Bears knew they had competition in their pursuit of Johnson, most notably from the Las Vegas Raiders and, to a lesser extent, from the Jacksonville Jaguars. Yet general manager Ryan Poles, under the guidance of Bears President/CEO Kevin Warren, made sure to finish the deal with Johnson, who was widely considered to be the hottest candidate within this hiring cycle.

    10 things we heard at Ben Johnson’s Chicago Bears introduction, including why he’s prepared to be a head coach

    Johnson’s resume is impressive. This season, he called the plays for the NFL’s highest-scoring offense with the Lions averaging 33.2 points per game and totaling 68 offensive touchdowns. Quarterback Jared Goff was named to the Pro Bowl after throwing for 4,629 yards with 37 touchdown passes and a 111.8 passer rating. Four other Lions offensive players received Pro Bowl honors: running back Jahmyr Gibbs, receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and offensive linemen Penei Sewell and Frank Ragnow.

    Johnson will now get to work putting together a coaching staff. And he must then gain a more thorough understanding of the Bears’ entire roster as he works to build the team back into a playoff contender.

    Jan. 19

    Bears interviewed Tennessee State coach Eddie George

    What it means: The buzz inside league circles Sunday was that the Eddie George interview was likely a step taken by the Bears to become fully compliant with the NFL’s Rooney Rule. George became the second minority candidate to have an in-person interview with the organization following Ron Rivera, who had visited Halas Hall a week earlier.

    The Detroit Lions’ exit from the NFC playoffs Saturday changed the dynamics and timelines for Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn inside this hiring cycle. Both Lions coordinators will now be available to be interviewed in person and hired by any NFL team starting Monday. The Bears seem to be readying themselves to take their big swing at landing Johnson — or pivot if the Lions OC takes a job elsewhere. (The Las Vegas Raiders seem to present the stiffest competition and were scheduled to interview Washington Commanders assistant general manager Lance Newmark for their open GM position Sunday. Newmark, who spent 26 years with the Lions, and Johnson are tight.)

    George, the 1995 Heisman Trophy winner at Ohio State, has spent the past four seasons coaching at Tennessee State and helped the Tigers to an Ohio Valley Conference championship this past season. George is 24-22 overall at Tennessee State and, at this juncture, faces a steep climb to become a head coach on the NFL level.

    Bears interviewed Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich

    What it means: Stenavich has been the Packers offensive coordinator for the last three seasons. Before that, he was the run game coordinator and offensive line coach. He was the assistant O-line coach for the San Francisco 49ers for two seasons and also spent six seasons coaching at the college level.

    Stenavich, 41, helped the Packers run a top-five overall and rushing offense in 2024. But he also is somewhat lacking in key experience since coach Matt LaFleur is the play caller.

    He is the 16th candidate to interview for the Bears job.

    Bears interviewed Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores

    What it means: Flores is the 15th known candidate to complete an interview for the Bears job and did so five days after his Vikings were bumped from the playoffs with a 27-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. That defeat put an end to an overall impressive season for the Vikings, who won 14 regular-season games and did so with an aggressive and attacking defense that Flores helped propel to 33 takeaways, a league high.

    Minnesota also had the NFL’s fourth-ranked third-down defense, allowing conversions on just 35.6% of third downs. Three defenders — cornerback Byron Murphy Jr. and linebackers Andrew Van Ginkel and Jonathan Greenard — earned Pro Bowl honors this season.

    Flores had a sub-.500 record in his first stint as a head coach for three seasons with the Miami Dolphins. But throughout a long stay in New England, he was part of four Super Bowl-winning teams with the Patriots. He is known for his demanding coaching style which, at times, includes a bit of an abrasive edge. The Bears will have to feel out Flores overall fit for what they are looking for now.

    Among other NFL coaches who have been requested for interviews by the Bears or linked to the job in some capacity, those who have yet to complete interviews include Adam Stenavich, Vance Joseph and Kliff Kingsbury.

    Bears reportedly inquired about a trade for Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin

    What it means: ESPN reported Saturday morning that the Bears recently called the Steelers to see if they could speak with Tomlin and potentially initiate a trade. However, the Steelers decided to “rebuff” their inquiries, telling teams that Tomlin has a no-trade clause in his contract.

    Tomlin has been the Steelers coach for 18 seasons with a 183-107-2 record. He has led them to 12 playoff berths, including this season when the Steelers lost to the Baltimore Ravens last weekend.

    Bears GM Ryan Poles left open the possibility of a trade for a coach when he discussed the Bears search earlier this month.

    Jan. 17

    Bears interviewed Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady

    What it means: Brady completed his initial virtual interview with the Bears two nights before the Bills are set to meet the Baltimore Ravens in the playoffs. He also interviewed with the New Orleans Saints on Friday night.

    In his first full season as Bills offensive coordinator, Brady, 35, directed the AFC’s top scoring offense, with the Bills averaging 30.9 points per game. He originally joined the Bills in 2022 as Josh Allen’s quarterbacks coach. This season, Allen threw for 3,731 yards, 28 touchdowns and just six interceptions.

    Brady also has served as the Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator for two seasons and was the passing game coordinator for LSU during the 2019 national championship season with Joe Burrow at quarterback.

    Bears interviewed Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken

    What it means: Monken is the 13th known candidate to complete an interview for the Bears coach opening and did so over videoconferencing two days before his Ravens face the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round of the AFC playoffs.

    Monken has been in Baltimore for two seasons and has put his fingerprints all over a dynamic Ravens offense. In 2023, he helped Lamar Jackson win his second Most Valuable Player award with the quarterback amassing 4,599 total yards and 29 touchdowns. Jackson was even better this season with 5,087 yards and 45 TDs and could be in line to claim his third MVP trophy next month.

    In addition, running back Derrick Henry ran for 1,921 yards and 16 touchdowns this season as the Ravens led the NFL in rushing by a wide margin, averaging 187.6 yards per game. They also averaged 30.5 points per game during the regular season, then blew out the Pittsburgh Steelers 28-14 in the opening round of the playoffs with a 299-yard rushing output.

    Monken is an alumnus of Wheaton North High School and Knox College and in recent years held offensive coordinator duties for the University of Georgia (2020-22), the Cleveland Browns (2019) and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2016-18).

    Titans hired Mike Borgonzi as general manager over the Bears’ Ian Cunningham

    What it means: Borgonzi, who has been with the Kansas City Chiefs organization since 2009 and was the team’s assistant general manager for the last four seasons, will take over the GM chair in Nashville, Tenn., following the firing of Ran Carthon earlier this month. Through a Bears lens, it also means Ian Cunningham will not be departing Halas Hall.

    Cunningham, who has been the Bears assistant general manager under Ryan Poles since 2022, had two interviews with the Titans for their GM opening — a virtual meeting Sunday and an in-person interview as a finalist Wednesday. But ultimately the Titans chose Borgonzi.

    Two other GM openings remain in the NFL with the Las Vegas Raiders and New York Jets. But Cunningham has not been linked to either job.

    Under the NFL’s Rooney Rule, the Bears would receive draft compensation — one third-round pick in consecutive drafts — if and when Cunningham departs for a GM job. As of now, that doesn’t appear to be in the works this offseason.

    Bears interviewed former Dallas Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy

    What it means: McCarthy is among the most experienced and accomplished coaches the Bears will interview this month.

    McCarthy and the Cowboys parted ways on Monday after failing to come to an agreement on a contract extension. McCarthy, 61, instantly became one of the more intriguing names in this hiring cycle.

    The 18-year NFL head coach has made 12 playoff appearances in 13 years with the Green Bay Packers and five years with the Cowboys. His teams have gone 11-11 in the postseason, with the 2010 Packers winning the Super Bowl.

    McCarthy has important experience with quarterbacks, including developing Aaron Rodgers and more recently working with Dak Prescott.

    Bears interviewed Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith

    What it means: Smith finished his first season as Steelers offensive coordinator working with quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. The 10-8 Steelers, who lost 28-14 to the Baltimore Ravens in the first round of the playoffs, ranked near the middle of the league in points and yards per game. Smith went 21-30 in his only head coaching stint with the Atlanta Falcons the previous three seasons.

    Before the Falcons, Smith was the Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator for two seasons and helped direct an offense that rose to be a top five unit in 2020.

    A 16-year NFL coach, Smith, 42, is an experienced candidate — but also one that has had mixed results.

    Jan. 14

    Bears interviewed Broncos senior personnel executive David Shaw

    What it means: The team announced its interview with Shaw, who is the 10th known candidate to complete an interview for the head coaching opening.

    Shaw has been in Denver since June, serving under general manager George Paton and helping the organization with its college and pro talent evaluation. Previously, he was head coach at Stanford for 12 seasons, where he led the Cardinal to 96 wins and took the program to a bowl game in each of the first eight seasons.

    Shaw was named Pac-12 Coach of the Year four times, including in 2011 when he coached star quarterback Andrew Luck, who became the No. 1 pick in the next spring’s draft. He is still considered a long shot to get the Bears job.

    The Bears will continue interviews on Wednesday with former Cowboys and Packers coach Mike McCarthy in the queue. McCarthy, according to the NFL Network, is expected to conduct his interview in person.

    Jan. 13

    Bears interviewed interim coach Thomas Brown

    What it means: Over the course of a few weeks in November with the Bears, Brown rose from passing game coordinator to offensive coordinator to interim head coach after the firings of offensive coordinator Shane Waldron and coach Matt Eberflus.

    That shifting job landscape didn’t make for the ideal situation for Brown to make his head coaching debut, and the Bears went 1-4 under his leadership, their lone win coming in the season finale against the Green Bay Packers.

    The Bears, however, acknowledged the difficult circumstances and gave Brown an interview, in which he hoped to sell his vision and explain how he would do things differently with a full year at the helm.

    Brown previously was the Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator in 2023 and before that was an assistant with the Los Angeles Rams.

    Mike McCarthy is leaving the Dallas Cowboys

    What it means: McCarthy’s contract with the Cowboys, after five seasons and three playoff appearances,  was set to expire Tuesday, and NFL Network reported Monday morning the sides couldn’t agree on a contract length.

    Cowboys owner Jerry Jones later confirmed in a statement that McCarthy won’t return, saying the coach and organization mutually agreed to part ways.

    “I have great respect for Mike, and he has led the team through some very unique and challenging times during his tenure,” Jones said.

    The Bears last week requested an interview with McCarthy, an 18-year NFL head coaching veteran, but the Cowboys denied the request. Now McCarthy will be able to speak with any team he chooses.

    Meanwhile, the Cowboys become the seventh team making a head coaching change, though the New England Patriots already found their new coach in Mike Vrabel.

    Before the Cowboys, McCarthy led the Green Bay Packers to nine playoff appearances and one Super Bowl win in 13 seasons through 2018.

    Jan. 12

    Bears interviewed longtime NFL coach Ron Rivera

    What it means: Rivera spent 13 years as an NFL head coach — nine with the Carolina Panthers and more recently four with the Washington Commanders through 2023. He has a 102-103 record in his career, but he hasn’t had a winning season since 2017 with the Panthers.

    He previously worked for the Bears as their defensive coordinator from 2004-06 and was the San Diego Chargers coordinator for three seasons. Rivera, a former linebacker, also played for the Bears for nine seasons and earned a Super Bowl ring with the 1985 team.

    New England Patriots hired Mike Vrabel as their new coach

    What it means: Four days after having a virtual interview with the Bears, Vrabel reunited with the Patriots, the team with which he spent eight seasons and won three Super Bowls as a player. Vrabel’s return to New England was hardly a surprise. But the move filled one of six head coaching jobs open in the league, leaving the Bears, Saints, Jets, Raiders and Jaguars with the remaining vacancies.

    Vrabel was on a very short list for the Patriots, who were also serious in their consideration of Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson. Johnson is on the Bears’ radar and had a virtual interview with the team on Saturday.

    The Patriots also interviewed Pep Hamilton and Byron Leftwich for their opening but were targeted and purposeful with their search and hired Vrabel less than a week after firing Jerod Mayo as head coach.

    The Bears, meanwhile, will continue with their interviews this week, progressing through a list of 18 known candidates linked to the opening.

    Bears assistant general manager Ian Cunningham completed a virtual interview for the Tennessee Titans GM job

    Brian Cassella / Chicago Tribune

    What it means: Cunningham is back in the mix for the Titans GM job two years after being a finalist in Tennessee for that same role. The Titans ultimately hired Ran Carthon in 2023.

    Bears GM Ryan Poles said last week he would give Cunningham the freedom to explore his career advancement this month. And it would not be a surprise if Cunningham again garnered serious consideration in Tennessee.

    As it stands, his interview Sunday was part of the Titans’ first round of interviews. The team has also announced interviews with Thomas Dimitroff, John Spytek, Ed Dodds, Reggie McKenzie, Matt Berry and Mike Borgonzi.

    Other GM jobs currently open in the league are with the Jets and Raiders.

    Under the NFL’s Rooney Rule hiring regulations, if Cunningham were to be hired by another team for a GM role, the Bears would receive a third-round compensatory pick for this year’s draft plus another in the 2026 draft.

    Jan. 11

    Bears interviewed Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn

    What it means: The Bears knocked out both Lions coordinators interviews during Detroit’s first-round playoff bye.

    Glenn is in his fourth season as Lions defensive coordinator and 11th season as an NFL coach, including with the New Orleans Saints and Cleveland Browns.

    The Lions defense ranks seventh with 20.1 points allowed per game and also leads the league in third-down percentage at 32.4%.

    As with all defensive-minded candidates, the Bears will need to hear Glenn’s plan for his offensive staff and how to help quarterback Caleb Williams succeed.

    Bears interviewed Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson

    What it means: Johnson is one of the top candidates of this NFL hiring cycle after directing a Lions offense that led the league with 33.2 points per game and was second with 409.5 yards per game this season.

    Johnson has been the Lions coordinator since 2022 and has played a large role in their rise to become the NFC’s No. 1 seed in this year’s playoffs under coach Dan Campbell.

    The Bears needed to examine Johnson’s overall leadership plan and style along with his fit with quarterback Caleb Williams as they determine whether he’s their coach of the future.

    Ben Johnson has a ‘burning desire’ to be a head coach. Could the Detroit Lions OC be a fit for the Chicago Bears?

    Jan. 9

    Bears interviewed New York Giants assistant head coach/offensive coordinator Mike Kafka

    What it means: The St. Rita and Northwestern graduate was previously on the Kansas City Chiefs coaching staff when GM Ryan Poles was there. Kafka spent five seasons with the Chiefs, including four as the quarterbacks coach for Patrick Mahomes. He also was the passing game coordinator for the last two.

    Kafka, 37, has been with the Giants for three seasons. The Giants offense, with three different starting quarterbacks this season, ranked 30th in yards per game and 31st in points per game.

    Bears interviewed former Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll

    What it means: Carroll, 73, has a lengthy resume featuring accomplishments the Bears have only dreamed about in recent years. In 14 seasons with the Seahawks (2010-23), Carroll led the team to 10 playoff berths, two Super Bowls and the Super Bowl XLVIII championship in the 2013 season.

    He has helped both young and veteran quarterbacks thrive but would need a strong offensive coordinator to come with him to help guide quarterback Caleb Williams. Carroll and the Seahawks parted ways after last season following a three-year stretch with a 25-26 record and one playoff berth.

    Bears interviewed Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver

    What it means: Weaver, 44, was the third candidate to complete a virtual meeting with the team. He just finished his first season in Miami, solidifying the Dolphins defense as a top-10 unit that allowed an average of 314.4 yards and 21.3 points.

    Weaver, who runs a 3-4 system with the Dolphins, played at Notre Dame and has seven seasons of NFL coaching experience, with his most extensive background as a defensive line coach. He also spent two seasons as the assistant head coach to John Harbaugh with the Baltimore Ravens.

    Thomas Brown is expected to interview for the Seahawks offensive coordinator opening

    What it means: While Brown is scheduled to meet with Bears brass to discuss his opportunity to remain head coach, the organization’s desire to reboot likely will lead it in a new direction. That will leave Brown seeking a new home, and he will explore one option with the Seahawks this weekend, according to multiple reports.

    Seattle’s offensive coordinator position came open this week when coach Mike Macdonald fired Ryan Grubb. Grubb spent only one season in that role, replacing Shane Waldron last winter.

    Macdonald cited vision differences with Grubb as a factor in his decision. If the Seahawks are looking for more balance in their offense with a greater dedication to the running game, Brown might emerge as an intriguing candidate.

    It’s worth noting that Brown and Macdonald overlapped for one season at Georgia in 2011 when Brown was the program’s strength and conditioning coach and Macdonald was a quality control coach.

    Bears interviewed former Tennessee Titans coach Mike Vrabel

    What it means: Vrabel, who went 54-45 over six seasons with the Titans, is one of the hottest names in this hiring cycle. A consultant for the Cleveland Browns this season, Vrabel already interviewed with the New York Jets and reportedly has the New England Patriots on his schedule for Thursday. Vrabel, 49, played eight of his 14 NFL seasons with the Patriots and is considered a front-runner for that job.

    The former linebacker has a defensive background, so the Bears undoubtedly asked him to present a plan for quarterback Caleb Williams, including a list of potential coordinators and coaches who would accompany him to Chicago. Bears players who played under Vrabel in Tennessee said he is a no-nonsense, detailed coach who would set a standard from the beginning.

    Bears interviewed Arizona Cardinals offensive coordinator Drew Petzing

    What it means: Petzing, 37, has been an offensive coordinator for only two seasons with the Cardinals. This season he directed a top-10 rushing offense helped by quarterback Kyler Murray. Before the Cardinals, Petzing worked for the Cleveland Browns for three seasons, including as the quarterbacks coach in 2022. He also spent six seasons as a Minnesota Vikings assistant.

    Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon told Arizona reporters he was excited for Petzing to receive interest from other teams to be a head coach.

    “He knows how to teach,” Gannon said. “He’s got really good command and can get the best out of people. He’s extremely intelligent and I think he knows what’s going on. He’s had some good experiences around a lot of good guys. … He’s been trained the right way.”

    Originally Published:



    As the Chicago Bears embark on their search for a new head coach following the firing of Matt Nagy, fans and analysts alike are eagerly keeping tabs on the latest developments. With several candidates already emerging as frontrunners for the job, let’s take a closer look at the coaching search and track the latest updates.

    One of the top names being thrown around in connection with the Bears’ coaching vacancy is Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy. Bieniemy has been a sought-after candidate in recent years and has been instrumental in the success of the Chiefs’ high-powered offense.

His defensive expertise could be a valuable asset for the Bears as they seek to improve on that side of the ball.
