Former Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll has expressed interest in the vacant head coaching position with the Chicago Bears.
The Seattle Seahawks are set to play the Chicago Bears , or to put it another way, Pete Carroll ’s former team against Pete Carroll ’s new team? ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on Wednesday that Carroll has expressed interest in the vacant Bears head coach ing position. Chicago canned Matt Eberflus after one of the most absurd clock management meltdowns in NFL history, making him the first head coach the Bears have ever fired midseason.
We’ve not heard much from Carroll since the Seahawks removed him from his head coach and front office position in January. Carroll told KJR that he’s going to teach a class at USC next spring, although he never specified the subject. Of course, interest isn’t always mutual. The top head coaching candidate at the moment is probably Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, who could be seen as the perfect match for quarterback Caleb Williams. On the other hand, maybe the Bears would be interested given how many former Seahawks coaches and players they’ve taken in, including Shane Waldron (okay, bad example), Kerry Joseph, Darrell Taylor, Travis Homer, Jacob Martin, and Jake Curhan. At the moment, the Bears, New York Jets (whom Carroll coached for one season back in 1994), and New Orleans Saints are the current head coach vacancies. There will definitely be other firings coming at the end of the regular season, so there may be opportunities for the 73-year-old Carroll to return to the sidelines, whether in Chicago or somewhere else
