The 2024 NFL regular season is complete and in the rear-view mirror as it’s time to move into offseason mode for 18 of the NFL’s 32 teams. Realistically, some of them have already done so — especially those who have made changes at the head coach or general manager positions. And because it’s what we do here, we’re going to let you know exactly which jobs are open, and who might be up for them.
Rather than scouring the scatter shot reports across social media, CBSSports.com has compiled all of those reports of interest in one place. Below, we will track all of the coordinator, head coach and general manager candidates and where they have been requested to interview.
Chicago fired Matt Eberflus after its Thanksgiving Day clock management debacle against the division-rival Lions. Interim head coach Thomas Brown had been doing well as the offensive coordinator, but the team has taken another step backward since he was promoted for the second time during this season. The next Bears coach will get the opportunity to work with Caleb Williams and some talented players on defense, but there is still a need for massive improvement on offense.
Here are the candidates the Bears are interviewing/have interviewed so far:
