The Chicago Bears have been busy in recent days both interviewing head coaching candidates and also narrowing down the field. The post Bears Issue Statement on Brian Flores, as 2 Emerge as Leaders for HC Job appeared first on Heavy Sports.

The Bears have confirmed interviewing 15 candidates, a list highlighted by Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, former Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, former Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy and former Tennessee Titans coach Mike Vrabel, who got the job in New England.
