"Bears' Defensive Coach Search: 4 Potential Names on the Radar"
The Chicago Bears are close to hiring a senior defensive analyst to assist with advanced preparation and provide different perspectives on attacking opposing offenses. Head coach Matt Eberflus mentioned that they are considering a few candidates, and while Rod Marinelli seemed like a good fit, he is comfortable in retirement. Potential options include Lovie Smith, Gary Pinkel, Leslie Frazier, and Charles Tillman, each with their own strengths and potential drawbacks. Eberflus prefers someone with NFL experience, but Tillman's playing career and familiarity with Eberflus' style could make him a valuable addition.
