The Chicago Bears have a crucial decision to make right now.
They need to get the next head coach right, as they can’t afford to waste another year of Caleb Williams’ development.
That’s why they must explore all avenues before making a decision.
With that in mind, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reported that they will conduct an interview with interim head coach Thomas Brown.
Russini added that there were rumors about Brown not getting an interview, but that clearly won’t be the case anymore.
The Chicago Bears continue their coaching search this week, interviewing interim head coach Thomas Brown. There were some bad rumors that Brown wouldn’t get a real interview, but he’ll get a legitimate shot after all.

Then again, it’s also hard to make a case for him being the person they need for their head coaching position right now.
The Bears missed the train with Mike Vrabel, but they should still be in the fold with Ben Johnson.
While they clearly need to address their subpar offensive line, they also need someone who can coach and develop their franchise player.
The Bears have never had an elite quarterback, and some fear that they could make the same mistakes of the past with Caleb Williams.
Williams showed signs of promise amid a complicated season, but he was also noticeably frustrated with all the losses and the way he was being coached.
This will be a crucial offseason for this organization.
They’re on the verge of becoming a very good and competitive team.
But hiring the wrong person again could set this team back years, and the prospect of ruining one of the most hyped prospects in recent NFL history is a dangerous one.
