According to reporting from Mike Organ of The Tennessean, Tennessee State head coach Eddie George will interview with the Chicago Bears for their head coach vacancy.
Coaching in Chicago would not be unfamiliar territory for the NFL great. In 2023 Coach George was a transitory member of the Bears coaching staff as part of the Bill Walsh Diversity Coaching Fellowship.
George has helmed the Tennessee State program for four seasons. He led the Tigers to a 9-4 record and a share of the Big South-OVC championship, a feat not achieved by the program since 1999. Tennessee State also earned a berth in the FCS Playoffs, their first since 1999. George was also named Big South-OVC Coach of the Year.
