Carroll, who won a Super Bowl with the Seahawks, is scheduled to interview with the Bears on Thursday, ESPN reported. 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.

In addition to Carroll, the Bears have already requested interviews with Arizona Cardinals offensive coordinator Drew Petzing, Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn and Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver.

Chicago requested to interview both Detroit Lions' coordinators, Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn. The Bears also put in a request to interview Dallas Cowboys' head coach Mike McCarthy, which Dallas reportedly shut down according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The Bears fired Matt Eberflus after a Thanksgiving disaster against the Lions. Here's a look at who might replace him, including Pete Carroll.

On Monday morning, the Chicago Bears made a formal request to interview Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson. The Bears made other requests to interview several head-coaching candidates, including Mike McCarthy and Arthur Smith.

After ending their regular season with a bang, the Chicago Bears are now re-focusing on filling their head coach vacancy. One of the biggest names interviewing for the job is current Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson.
