Bears interviewed Seahawks QB coach Greg Olson for offensive coordinator job

The Chicago Bears are in the midst of their search for a new offensive coordinator to replace Luke Getsy, who was fired after two seasons.

The Bears interviewed Seattle Seahawks quarterbacks coach Greg Olson for their OC opening on Friday, according to Michael Silver.

Olson has a wealth of NFL experience dating back to 2001, where he served as quarterbacks coach for the San Francisco 49ers. He even served as quarterbacks coach for the Bears in 2003.

Olson served as the offensive coordinator for the Las Vegas Raiders from 2018-21 under Jon Gruden. He’s an experienced playcaller that has worked with different quarterbacks throughout his career, and adaptability is key for general manager Ryan Poles and head coach Matt Eberflus when making the hire.

Olson is the fourth known candidate that Chicago has looked to for the offensive coordinator vacancy. The Bears’ search has included Seahawks offensive coordinator Shane Waldron, San Francisco 49ers passing game coordinator Klint Kubiak, University of Kentucky offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Liam Coen and now Olson.
