The New York Jets have already begun interviewing potential head coach candidates. Meanwhile, the Chicago Bears have remained silent. It isn’t clear why. Most likely, they would prefer to be respectful to interim coach Thomas Brown by waiting until after Sunday. Whatever the case, most believe the search will be extensive, involving anywhere from 12 to 14 candidates. GM Ryan Poles and team president Kevin Warren want to be thorough. However, anybody with common sense knows there is likely a short list of names the Bears brass prefer.
