The Seattle Seahawks are set to play the Chicago Bears, or to place it one other method, Pete Carroll’s former staff towards Pete Carroll’s new staff?
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on Wednesday that Carroll has expressed curiosity within the vacant Bears head teaching place. Chicago canned Matt Eberflus after some of the absurd clock administration meltdowns in NFL historical past, making him the primary head coach the Bears have ever fired midseason.
We’ve not heard a lot from Carroll for the reason that Seahawks eliminated him from his head coach and entrance workplace place in January. Carroll advised KJR that he’s going to show a category at USC subsequent spring, though he by no means specified the topic.
After all, curiosity isn’t at all times mutual. The highest head teaching candidate in the mean time might be Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, who might be seen as the right match for quarterback Caleb Williams. However, perhaps the Bears would have an interest given what number of former Seahawks coaches and gamers they’ve taken in, together with Shane Waldron (okay, unhealthy instance), Kerry Joseph, Darrell Taylor, Travis Homer, Jacob Martin, and Jake Curhan.
In the intervening time, the Bears, New York Jets (whom Carroll coached for one season again in 1994), and New Orleans Saints are the present head coach vacancies. There will certainly be different firings coming on the finish of the common season, so there could also be alternatives for the 73-year-old Carroll to return to the sidelines, whether or not in Chicago or some other place.
