Report: Bears, Saints scheduling interviews with Vrabel

The Chicago Bears will interview former Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel on Wednesday, a source told Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald.

The New Orleans Saints are also scheduling an interview with Vrabel for their vacancy, sources told MMQB's Albert Breer.

Vrabel spent six seasons leading the Titans, posting a 54-45 record from 2018-2023. He was named Coach of the Year in 2021 after leading Tennessee to the AFC's No. 1 seed despite using an NFL-record 91 different players during the season.

The 49-year-old made three playoff appearances and recorded two postseason wins during his tenure with the Titans. Tennessee made it to the AFC Championship Game in 2019 before falling to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Vrabel is expected to be one of the top candidates to land a head coaching job this offseason after spending the 2024 campaign as a consultant with the Cleveland Browns.

The Bears have also reportedly requested interviews with Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy, Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, and Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores, among others.

New Orleans reportedly requested interviews with multiple coaches, including Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady. The Saints and Bears apparently have meetings scheduled with Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn.
