Who are the Chicago Bears interviewing for head coach? (live updates)
The list of head coach interview requests keeps growing for the Chicago Bears
We expect this list to be quite substantial, but we also believe the process will go rather quickly and we could see a new general manager in place by next week and a head coach in place within two weeks.
Matt Eberflus, Defensive Coordinator – Indianapolis Colts
Another guy on the defensive side of things is Matt Eberflus. Eberflus has helped build a dominant defense down in Indianapolis. I’m not sold on a defensive-minded coach here in Chicago, but Eberflus would be toward the top of that list. He could make for a great pairing with Ed Dodds as general manager too.
The Chicago Bears have requested permission to speak with Indianapolis Colts vice president of player personnel Ed Dodds and defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus for their GM and head coach openings, per source. Both crucial in Colts' development of strong roster and performance.

Leslie Frazier, Defensive Coordinator – Buffalo Bills
Another Buffalo Bills coach the Chicago Bears have requested to interview is Leslie Frazier. Frazier is one coach I do not want to see here in Chicago. Give me Todd Bowles or Matt Eberflus over him if they truly want a defensive-minded head coach. Hell, I’d take Vic Fangio back as head coach over Leslie Frazier too.
