Bears Eye Marcus Freeman for Head Coach Role!

Marcus Freeman’s stock has risen significantly as he guides the Notre Dame Fighting Irish to the cusp of their first national championship since 1988. The Chicago Bears have been closely monitoring Freeman’s progress. The Bears are reportedly interested in interviewing Freeman for the head coach position following the departure of Matt Eberflus in the midst of the 2024 season, as per the NFL Network’s report on Sunday. Although the Bears have yet to finalize a decision on Eberflus’ successor, they are actively conducting interviews.

Before any potential NFL discussions, Freeman’s immediate focus remains on strategizing for Notre Dame’s upcoming national title showdown against Ohio State, following a narrow victory over Penn State to secure their spot in the championship game. NFL insider Tom Pelissero noted on the network that it is unlikely for Freeman to entertain NFL opportunities prior to the crucial game against Ohio State, scheduled for a week from tomorrow. However, the Bears have diligently researched Marcus Freeman for several months. At just 39 years old, it would not be surprising if Freeman at least contemplates a move to the NFL in the future.

In addition to Freeman, the Bears are also set to interview other candidates for the head coach position, including Brian Flores from the Minnesota Vikings, Kliff Kingsbury from the Washington Commanders, Todd Monken from the Baltimore Ravens, and Arthur Smith from the Pittsburgh Steelers, as reported by the NFL Network.

Freeman assumed the role of Notre Dame’s head coach following Brian Kelly’s departure to take the head coaching position at LSU. Under Freeman’s leadership, Notre Dame boasts a 33-9 record, with a stellar 14-1 performance this season, following a 9-4 record in his first full year in 2022, and a 10-3 record in 2023.

During the 2024 season, the Chicago Bears struggled to a 5-12 record with Caleb Williams at quarterback in his inaugural season at the helm.
