The Chicago Bears are already lining up interviews with two top head coach candidates in this offseason’s hiring cycle. Detroit Lions Offensive Coordinator Ben Johnson and Defensive Coordinator Aaron Glenn are officially on the Bears’ radar.

NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero reports that the Bears have put in interview requests for both Lions’ coordinators. This news should not come as a surprise since both assistants have been reported to be persons of interest for Chicago since shortly after the Bears fired Matt Eberflus on the Friday after Thanksgiving. But still … it is nice to have something official-ish to discuss.
