After a 5-12, last-place season that included 10 consecutive losses and the in-season firings of coach Matt Eberflus and offensive coordinator Shane Waldron, the Chicago Bears are now embarking on a search to hire the franchise’s next head coach.

The Chicago Bears believe they have their star quarterback, and now they are searching for the right head coach. Matt Eberflus was fired after a 4-8 start to the season, but things didn't really get much better for Chicago,

With the Chicago Bears seeming to prioritize head-coaching candidates with previous head-coaching experience, it seems as though they are letting Matt Eberflus' failures get the best of them in their latest hiring cycle.

The Chicago Bears' decision to keep general manager Ryan Poles around may come back to haunt them in the seasons to come. The favorite to be the team's next head coach seems to be cut from the same cloth that resulted in Matt Eberflus failing big there.

Stability can be gained by adding experience. Similar to 2015, the Bears’ search feels purposeful after the team failed with Eberflus, who lacked previous head coaching experience. In 2022, the Bears chose Eberflus over Dan Quinn and Jim Caldwell, their two other finalists, both of whom had been head coaches.

According to multiple reports, Johnson has agreed to terms with the Chicago Bears to become their next coach. Johnson will replace previous head coach Matt Eberflus and has now become the second coach in this year's cycle to land a job after the New England Patriots hired Matt Eberflus.

The Chicago Bears have completed an interview with Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken for their head coach vacancy, the team announced Friday. It marked the team's 13th interview in the first round of the coaching search.
