The Chicago Bears are in the thick of their search for a head coach, and four of the candidates they’ve interviewed just became available following the divisional playoffs.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich and defensive coordinator Todd Bowles, as well as Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll and defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier can be hired now.
Following a thrilling overtime game between the Bills and Kansas City Chiefs, Bears fans got an up-close look at at Daboll and Frazier, where the general consensus is that Daboll would be a good fit while Frazier should be shown the door.
It’s hard not to watch Daboll’s offense score a combined 83 points in two games and not envision what that could look like in Chicago. Especially given Daboll has been instrumental in the development of quarterback Josh Allen and Justin Fields’ development remains of high importance.
Frazier, on the other hand, didn’t make as strong of an impression. Not only did Buffalo allow 42 points to Kansas City, but they allowed Patrick Mahomes to march 44 yards down the field in 13 seconds for the game-tying field goal that forced overtime and eventually led to a Chiefs win.
Here’s what Bears Twitter had to say about Daboll and Frazier:
