The Chicago Bears have interviewed three candidates for their head coaching position since Friday.

The Bears announced Saturday they had met with with Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores. On Friday, they confirmed interviews with Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady and Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken.

The Bears (5-12) fired head coach Matt Eberflus on Nov. 29 after a 4-8 start.

Flores, 43, has been with the Vikings for two seasons after serving as linebackers coach and senior defensive assistant with Pittsburgh in 2022. He was 24-25 as head coach of the Miami Dolphins from 2019-21.

Brady, 35, was officially named the Bills’ offensive coordinator last January after holding the interim tag since Ken Dorsey’s firing in mid-November 2023. He was the OC for the Carolina Panthers from 2020-21.

Monken, 58, is in his second season with Baltimore. He also was an OC with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2016-18) and Cleveland Browns (2019) and was the head coach at Southern Miss from 2013-15.

The Bears have cast a wide net in their search, including an interview with interim coach Thomas Brown. Other names linked to the vacancy include former NFL head coaches Pete Carroll, Mike McCarthy, Ron Rivera and Arthur Smith, and coordinators Aaron Glenn, Ben Johnson, Mike Kafka, Drew Petzing and Anthony Weaver.

The Bears reportedly were rebuffed when they asked the Pittsburgh Steelers to discuss a potential trade for head coach Mike Tomlin, ESPN reported Saturday.
