The Bears are searching for a new offensive coordinator after firing Luke Getsy, and one of the coaches they were hoping to bring in for an interview was Kellen Moore.
However, Chicago’s request was denied by Los Angeles, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
It remains to be seen why they didn’t let Moore interview for their opening, but the Chargers likely want to know how the head coaching search shakes up, and that person can decide about him.
Hired to oversee the Bolts’ offense last year, Moore’s unit finished 18th in total offense, 13th in passing, 25th in rushing and 21st in scoring.
Moore was hired to boost the running game and that never came to fruition.
And even though the offense was without Corey Linsley and Mike Williams for most of the season and a hampered Justin Herbert before he was out for the year, the results with Moore left much to be desired.
Before joining the Chargers, Moore oversaw the Cowboys’ offense since 2019. Dallas averaged the second-most points (27.7) in the NFL across those four seasons.
