Former Seahawks Super-Bowl winning coach Pete Carroll has expressed interest in the Bears' head coaching job and would like to return to the sideline next season, league sources told ESPN.

The Bears would have trouble finding a more accomplished candidate than Carroll, who has 13 winning seasons and a championship ring.

Chicago and Bears quarterback Caleb Williams “is appealing” to Carroll, per Schefter. Carroll is reportedly eyeing a return to the NFL after parting ways with the Seahawks in January. He started discussing a return in recent weeks and has not spoken with any teams yet but is open to doing so.
