On Wednesday, the Chicago Bears announced the status of their coaching staff for the 2024 season. Head coach Matt Eberflus will be back for a third year, as will his entire defensive staff, although they are still in need of a defensive coordinator after Alan Williams resigned early in the 2023 season. Eberflus announced they would overhaul the offensive staff, with the only holdovers being offensive line coach Chris Morgan and tight ends coach Jim Dray. Eberflus and general manager Ryan Poles will go about filling in the gaps on the coaching staff in the coming days and weeks, and we’ll track all their interview requests here. We’ll also track any other Bears-related nuggets for a coach or front-office positions around the NFL. - The Bears plan to interview Kentucky offensive coordinator/QBs coach Liam Coen for their offensive coordinator position.
