The Chicago Bears are exploring a unique candidate for their head coach vacancy, planning to interview former Stanford head coach David Shaw. Despite currently working as a senior personnel executive for the Denver Broncos, Shaw's impressive college coaching resume and NFL experience make him an intriguing prospect.
You could sing 'one of these coaching candidates is not like the others' regarding the Bears coaching search. David Shaw once was a coach but since June has been senior personnel executive for the Denver Broncos front office. The Bears have sought permission to interview him, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Shaw might not sound like a qualified candidate based on his current title but anyone who once lost out on a coaching job to Bill Walsh probably needs to be taken seriously as a potential head coach.

Shaw, whose father was an NFL assistant for seven teams, wasn't always a college coach. He served as quality control coach for the Raiders and Eagles,and was a quarterbacks coach with the Raiders when Jon Gruden was head coach in 2001. He went to the Ravens from 2002-05 as a quarterbacks and receivers coach, then the Chargers for one year as receivers coach and passing game coordinator before going to Stanford as the offensive coordinator. He also coached running backs and receivers there before becoming head coach in 2011. While at Stanford, Shaw was Pac-12 coach of the year four times and in 2017 was named national coach of the year.
