Given Brad Childress’ role with the Bears over the last couple of years, he’s definitely an option for the vacant offensive coordinator job — although he’s probably the most unlikely candidate. Childress remains on staff as a senior offensive assistant with Chicago.

Childress’ involvement with the Bears stems back to his ties to Andy Reid, where he spent 2000-05 with Reid as everything from offensive coordinator to assistant head coach in Kansas City.

But if the Bears are looking to go with an in-house hire, Dave Ragone remains the most likely option.
