The Chicago Bears are giving a look to a former star running back as they look to fill their head coaching vacancy. Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reported that

"That will be their third in person interview in the first round and 17th overall. George has been on the Bears radar for a while, and the team got to know him further when he was a part of the Bill Walsh Diversity Coaching Fellowship during OTAs in 2023."

George, the former Titans star running back, will be the third candidate to interview in person as Chicago ramps up its search.

The Chicago Bears have completed an interview with Tennessee State head coach Eddie George for their head coach vacancy, the team announced Saturday. It marked the team's 17th interview in the first round of the coaching search -- and the third in-person interview (alongside Mike McCarthy and Ron Rivera).

The Bears interviewed former NFL running back and current Tennessee State University coach Eddie George in person on Sunday, the team announced. The team is familiar with George, a Heisman Trophy winner and Pro Football Hall of Fame nominee, as he spent time with Chicago during the 2023 offseason as a Bill Walsh Diversity Coaching fellow in OTAs.

Stability can be gained by adding experience. Similar to 2015, the Bears’ search feels purposeful after the team failed with Eberflus, who lacked previous head coaching experience. In 2022, the Bears chose Eberflus over Dan Quinn and Jim Caldwell, their two other finalists, both of whom had been head coaches.

DALLAS (AP) — Mike McCarthy is not returning as coach of the Dallas Cowboys, who are going on three decades since their last Super Bowl title, owner Jerry Jones said in a statement Monday. Jones said the organization and McCarthy mutually agreed to part ways. The team’s search for its next coach begins immediately, he says.

Both the Bears and Eddie George gain from the interview they conducted with the Heisman winner and the search can now enter a new stage.
