The Chicago Bears are looking for a new coach, and many believe it to be one of the most coveted job openings in the NFL. Anyone who follows the Bears know the team already has interviewed a plethora of candidates, but Notre Dame fans might not be happy about one potential candidate.
Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network is reporting that the Bears would like to interview [autotag]Marcus Freeman[/autotag] as a candidate to be their next coach. It’s the latest example of how the Bears are considering any and all possibilities as they try to overcome a disappointing 5-12 season with a roster that was expected to make progress but didn’t for the most part.
Whether Freeman is serious about this job is unknown given the big contract extension he just signed with the Irish. But he just conducted a news conference, and if he plans on bolting for the Windy City, there’s no way he’s going to say it in this setting:
Hopefully, the Irish won’t have such a great season only to lose Freeman at the end, but that’s the nature of the beast that is football.
