Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated reported during the Amazon Prime broadcast of Thursday Night Football that the Bears and Carroll have mutual interest and that a conversation between the two could be happening soon.

“Pete Carroll has interest in the Bears job, but that’s not the only one he is looking at,” Breer said. “I’m told that he has informed all of the teams with openings that he is looking to get back into coaching in 2025. Additionally, I am told that the Bears are interested in sitting down and having a conversation with Carroll about their opening.”

Carroll spent 2009-2023 with the Seattle Seahawks and compiled a 137-89-1 record while leading the team to two Super Bowl appearances and one victory. The 73-year-old is currently serving as an advisor to the Seahawks.

Chicago is currently 4-11 and fired head coach Matt Eberflus following a Thanksgiving loss to the Detroit Lions. Despite the poor record, Chicago has a solid roster with the crown jewel being 2024 No. 1 pick Caleb Williams.

Chicago has not reached the postseason since 2020 and has not won a playoff game since 2010. Carroll’s proven playoff experience could help the team reach new heights and maximize Williams’ potential.

Breer reported that Ben Johnson, Aaron Glenn, Mike Vrabel, Kliff Kingsbury, Brian Flores and interim head coach Thomas Brown are all candidates for the job as well.
