Bears Completed Interview With Mike Vrabel For HC Position

The Chicago Bears announced they’ve completed an interview with former Titans HC Mike Vrabel for their vacant head coaching position.

Vrabel has been a hot candidate so far this offseason, with multiple teams having already interviewed or requested to interview him.

Vrabel, 49, began his coaching career with Ohio State as their linebackers coach back in 2011 after a 14-year playing career as a linebacker with the Steelers, Patriots and Chiefs.

After several years with the Buckeyes, Vrabel was hired by the Texans as their linebackers coach in 2014 and wound up being promoted to defensive coordinator in 2017. The Titans hired Vrabel as their head coach back in 2018. 

Tennessee opted to fire Vrabel last offseason. He spent the 2024 season as a personnel consultant with the Browns.

In six years with the Titans, Vrabel compiled a record of 52-41 with three playoff appearances and a 2-3 playoff record. He was also named the 2021 coach of the year.
