Bears coach search: Pete Carroll can shape a culture — and has proved that he can help develop a QB
Schneider took the pitch back to head coach Pete Carroll, who wasn’t ready to end the marriage with Wilson quite yet. Carroll said no — but a year later would say yes when the Broncos called, landing two first-round picks, two second-rounders, a fifth-rounder and three veterans. Not a bad return for a quarterback drafted in the third round in 2012.
Analysis: The Bears completed an interview Thursday afternoon with Pete Carroll but his great experience and past success might not translate to more winning.
According to NFL insider Dianna Russini, the Bears have Ben Johnson and Mike Vrabel as their top coaching candidates.
