A Familiar Face Just Entered The Chicago Bears Head Coach Hunt

It has been a long time since the Chicago Bears hired somebody with direct connections to the franchise as their head coach. Mike Ditka was the last one. He played tight end for the team, carving out a Hall of Fame career before returning in 1982 to help them to a Super Bowl title three years later. Since then, there have been opportunities to try again. Mike Singletary has lobbied for the job more than once in recent years. However, he isn’t the name fans had hoped for a few years ago. That was Ron Rivera.
