Seattle Seahawks Super-Bowl winning coach Pete Carroll has expressed interest in the Chicago Bears' head coaching job, league sources told ESPN.
Adam Schefter, Senior NFL InsiderCarroll is one of four head coaches to have led teams to both a national championship and the Super Bowl.
Carroll is one of four head coaches to have led teams to both a national championship and the Super Bowl. The others are Barry Switzer, Jimmy Johnson and Jim Harbaugh. The Bears fired Matt Eberflus on Nov. 29, one day after a 23-20 loss to the Lions that ended with the Bears' furious comeback attempt falling short thanks to clock mismanagement. Thomas Brown, who had recently been named Chicago's interim offensive coordinator, assumed Chicago's interim head coaching duties.
Last January, the Seahawks announced Carroll was out as head coach. At the time, owner Jody Allen said in a statement that Carroll would remain with the team as an advisor. Later that month, Seattle hired former Ravens defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald as head coach.
