He went 1-4 as the Bears’ interim coach.
Hiring a head coach in the NFL is hard enough. Projecting how an assistant will do as a head coach is even harder. Yet that’s how the Bears have operated for almost the entirety of their 105-year history.
The Patriots, Jaguars and Raiders can offer compelling situations in terms of power, quarterback and future assets.
He returned a punt 94 yards for a touchdown against the Packers.
The Cowboys denied their interview request, but he can become a free agent in a week.
