Adam Stenavich and Brian Flores both have challenges to overcome and convincing to do if they hope to secure a finalist spot for Bears head coach.

The Jets are winding down their second full week of interviewing candidates for their vacancy. Flores is the 13th known person to interview. They also are expected to meet with their former quarterback and Vikings quarterbacks coach Josh McCown and Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley on Friday.

The Chicago Bears have interviewed Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores for their head coaching job

The coaching carousel for the 2025 offseason is already moving. Here are the latest news and rumors from around the NFL!

After a 5-12, last-place season that included 10 consecutive losses and the in-season firings of coach Matt Eberflus and offensive coordinator Shane Waldron, the Chicago Bears are now embarking on a search to hire the franchise’s next head coach.

Flores’ Vikings finished fifth in the NFL in scoring defense and tied for the league lead in turnovers. They were tied for fourth in the league in sacks on the backs of Flores’ blitzing scheme. Bears quarterback Caleb Williams called him the “King of the Cover 0 blitz” earlier this season.

For some of those teams, that will involve finding new head coaches and/or General Managers. Three teams fired their head coaches during the season and two more have been dispatched as of 9 a.m. ET on January 6.

Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich was the latest candidate to meet with the team. The Bears announced the completion of that interview on Saturday afternoon. The Bears also interviewed Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores on Saturday, so there was no shortage of NFC North representation on hand.
