The Bears, at some point, will hire a new head coach. As of yet, they haven’t finished interviewing.
The Bears announced they completed an interview with Tennessee State coach Eddie George on Sunday. George is the 17th coach to interview for the position.
George, a Heisman Trophy winner and longtime Oilers/Titans guard, has coached Tennessee State for the past four years. He is 24-22 years into his coaching career. In 2024, he was named Big South-OVC Coach of the Year, going 9-3 in the regular season. The team lost to Montana 41-27 in the first round of the NCAA FCS playoffs.
The Bears have completed interviews with Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady, Bears interim head coach Thomas Brown, former Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll, Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores, United States defensive coordinator Lions Aaron Glenn, Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kafka, former Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy, Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken, Cardinals offensive coordinator Drew Petzing, former Commanders and Panthers coach Ron Rivera, former Stanford head coach David Shaw, Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich and Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver. They also spoke to Mike Vrabel before the Patriots hired the former Titans head coach.
