The Chicago Bears are interested in multiple coaching candidates when looking to replace Matt Eberflus, whom the team fired on Nov. 29. There is one candidate who seems like the "perfect fit" for the organization, though, according to Sports Illustrated 's Albert Breer: Mike Vrabel.

The Chicago Bears intend to interview interim head coach Thomas Brown for the permanent job. Brown took over for Matt Eberflus, who was fired Nov. 29 after Chicago's 4-8 start. The Bears lost Brown's first four games in charge before ending a 10-game skid Sunday by beating the host Green Bay Packers 24-22 on Cairo Santos' last-second field goal.

Brown has a long list of "foundational issues" — including a "one-focus mentality" — to discuss with general manager Ryan Poles when he interviews for the permanent job.

The Dallas Cowboys and Chicago Bears are both getting their offseasons underway after missing the playoffs. Chicago fired Matt Eberflus and is looking for the answer at head coach. Mike McCarthy’s contract is up with the Cowboys and the Bears requested an interview with him for their role.
