The Chicago Bears formally interviewed Tennessee Titans legend Eddie George for their head coaching position Sunday in Chicago. George led the Tennessee State University (TSU) Tigers to their first Big-South OVC since 1999 last fall with a 9-3 record and then a 41-27 playoff loss at Montana.

Both the Bears and Eddie George gain from the interview they conducted with the Heisman winner and the search can now enter a new stage.

George, the former Titans star running back, will be the third candidate to interview in person as Chicago ramps up its search.

Fox Sports insider Jay Glazer reported that Tennessee State head coach Eddie George is set to interview for the Chicago Bears' head coaching position on Sunday morning. This interview marks a surprising development in the NFL coaching carousel.

The Bears head coach is expected to kick into high gear this week. Here's a recap of everything that's happened so far.

Tennessee State football coach Eddie George interviewed with the Chicago Bears on Sunday about their head coaching vacancy.

Here are the latest rumors surrounding Chicago's head-coaching search. Former Titans running back Eddie George is scheduled to interview for the Bears' head-coach opening Sunday morning ...

Ryan Poles said the Bears would run a thorough search for their next head coach, and that’s certainly been the case. With Ben Johnson in play, it's almost decision time.

It's fitting that the first 12-team college football playoff will feature two of the country's most storied programs in Ohio State and Notre Dame. The Buckeyes are in search of their first national title since 2014 and their third this century.

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.
