Carroll, who won a Super Bowl with the Seahawks, is scheduled to interview with the Bears on Thursday, a source said. He is one of more than a dozen coaches the Bears have requested to interview as general manager Ryan Poles seeks to do a deeper dive into the candidate pool than he did when he hired Matt Eberflus in 2022.

It sure sounds like former Seattle Seahawks and USC Trojans head coach Pete Carroll wants to get back on the sidelines, and the Chicago Bears just so happen to have an opening that could be a good fit.

The Chicago Bears were denied an interview with Dallas Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy for their head coaching vacancy but will sit down with longtime NFL coach Pete Carroll on Thursday, according to pair of ESPN reports on Tuesday.

The Chicago Bears are casting a wide net in their search for a new head coach. And according to ESPN, that includes a scheduled Thursday interview with 73-year-old Pete Carroll, the Super Bowl-winning ex-coach of the Seattle Seahawks.

A year after the Seattle Seahawks moved on from former head coach Pete Carroll, he's reportedly in the mix for an NFL opening.

Over half of the league is staying at home for the playoffs, but that does not stop them from remaining active. Such is the case for the Chicago Bears, who are once again searching for a new head coach after yet another disappointing season.
