Former Super Bowl champion Pete Carroll is looking to return to coaching in 2025 and is reportedly eyeing the Bears' vacancy.
Pete Carroll is looking to make a return to the sideline and even has a possible destination in mind. The former Seattle Seahawks coach has shown interest in the Chicago Bears' vacancy for 2025,
reported. It's unclear if the Bears have a reciprocating interest in Carroll. After Chicago fired Matt Eberflus on Nov. 29, it was reported that the Bears were seeking a 'leader of men' type of head coach. Wide receiver DJ Moore even said that general manager Ryan Poles told him that was the case. Carroll has been an effective leader at both the professional and college levels over his career.
previously reported that Chicago will most likely look for an offensive-minded head coach. With Belichick out of the picture, Carroll is the most accomplished coach on the market, but he might have some similar obstacles for Chicago. Like Belichick, Carroll has a defensive background, and he's even older than the former Patriots coach. Carroll will turn 74 just weeks into the 2025 season.
reported. In addition to the Bears, the New Orleans Saints and New York Jets also have head coaching vacancies. Of course, other teams could join that mix when the season ends. Carroll coached the Jets for a season in 1994. If Carroll is hired by a team this offseason, he'd become the oldest head coach in NFL history. Romeo Crennel set the record at 73 when he became the Houston Texans' interim coach during the 2020 season.
