### Former Titans Head Coach Mike Vrabel in the Running for Bears Job
As the search for a new head coach intensifies, Mike Vrabel, the respected former coach of the Tennessee Titans, emerges as a potential candidate to replace the recently dismissed Matt Eberflus of the Chicago Bears. Vrabel, an eight-time Super Bowl champion, boasts the most impressive credentials of any NFL coach currently seeking a job. His arrival could restore much-needed respectability to the Bears' franchise. However, his appetite for authority might be a sticking point since many general managers hesitate to relinquish significant control.
Joe Brady, aged 35, first made headlines as the offensive coordinator for LSU's national championship team helmed by Joe Burrow in 2020. Brady has since elevated the Buffalo Bills' quarterback, making him a prime candidate for MVP. The Chicago Bears explored the possibility of bringing Brady in as their play-caller, a role that was eventually awarded to Shane Waldron in January.
Meanwhile, another notable candidate is the 39-year-old Cohen, who also interviewed for the Bears' play-caller position earlier this year. Cohen currently contributes to an impressive offensive lineup, with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers ranking fourth in the NFL by averaging 28.1 points per game.
Ben Johnson, aged 38, is poised to be one of the hottest names in the assistant coaching market. His offensive prowess has driven the Detroit Lions to an 11-1 record and the highest scoring in the league this season. Complicating his availability, however, is Johnson's selective approach to job opportunities, as seen in his deliberations over the past two offseasons.
Lastly, Kliff Kingsbury is also in the conversation, having previously coached at USC and interviewed for the Bears' coordinator position. Last year, he assisted Jayden Daniels, now a contender for Offensive Rookie of the Year, during his time in Washington. With a prior record of 28-37-1 as head coach of the Arizona Cardinals, the 45-year-old remains a seasoned option with significant experience to offer.
The Chicago Bears have several promising individuals to consider for their coaching vacancy, each bringing their own set of skills and experiences to the table. How the team navigates these choices will be crucial in shaping their future success on the field.
