The Chicago Bears’ successes during the 2025 season have led to several NFL teams reaching out for interviews with the team’s coaching staff.

LAKE FOREST, IL – AUGUST 02: Chicago Bears Offensive Coordinator Declan Doyle speaks at a press conference during Bears training camp at Halas Hall in Lake Forest, IL on Saturday, August 2nd 2025 The Chicago Bears’ successes during the 2025 season have led to several NFL teams reaching out for interviews with the team’s coaching staff.

Highlighting that list is Bears offensive coordinator Declan Doyle, with the Philadelphia Eagles requesting permission to interview him, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.Eagles have requested to interview Bears offensive coordinator Declan Doyle for their offensive coordinator position. Doyle was hired last off-season as the NFL’s youngest offensive coordinator and he previously coached under Sean Payton in New Orleans and Denver.While the move would be a lateral one in terms of title, Doyle does not call plays for the Bears, as that remains the purview of head coach Ben Johnson. The Eagles have run through several interviews to replace former coordinator Kevin Patullo, and they’ll be tasked with trying to resurrect an offense that struggled badly at times during the 2025 season. Defensive backs coach Al Harris has also been a hot commodity on the market, as he has interviewed for the defensive coordinator job with the Green Bay Packers, according to Schefter.Those interviews come after Bears running backs coach Eric Bieniemy was reportedly hired by the Kansas City Chiefs as their new offensive coordinator, where he would replace former Bears head coach Matt Nagy, whose contract expired with the team. Several other coaches could also potentially attract interest, including wide receivers coach Antwaan Randle El and tight ends coach Jim Dray, both of whom oversaw huge leaps forward from their respective position groups. Meanwhile, the NFL coaching carousel has continued to spin on, as the Baltimore Ravens hired Los Angeles Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter as their new head coach on Thursday. The Atlanta Falcons hired former Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski as their new leader, while the New York Giants hired former Ravens coach John Harbaugh. The Miami Dolphins also have picked a new head coach, hiring Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley. The Tennessee Titans hired San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh for their head coaching position.
