The Bears will request second interviews with Dallas Cowboys
defensive coordinator Dan Quinn and ex-Detroit Lions and
Indianapolis Colts coach Jim Caldwell, according to multiple
reports Monday.
In addition, current Colts defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus
will have his second interview for the job on Wednesday, and New
Orleans Saints defensive coordinator Dennis Allen will get his
first interview Tuesday.
Quinn is considered to be among the top candidates of the hiring
cycle. The former head coach of the Atlanta Falcons, Quinn led
that franchise to an appearance in Super Bowl LI, and helped
resurrect the Dallas defense in his first season with the
Cowboys. Quinn went 43-42 in five-plus seasons with the Falcons.
Caldwell coached the Indianapolis Colts from 2009-11 and the
Lions from 2014-17, compiling a 62-50 career record and four
playoff appearances in those seven seasons. He has not worked in
the NFL since serving as the Miami Dolphins' assistant head
coach and quarterbacks coach in 2019.
The Bears are also interviewing candidates for the general
manager position concurrently with coach interviews. Chicago
fired coach Matt Nagy and GM Ryan Pace on Jan. 10 following a
6-11 season.
