As the architect of an elite defensive unit known as 'The Legion of Boom', there are few more qualified candidates to be an NFL head coach than Pete Carroll.

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.
