Jonathan Jones reports that the Bears plan to interview Kentucky offensive coordinator/QBs coach Liam Coen for their vacant offensive coordinator position.
Here’s the updated list of candidates for the Bears’ job:
- 49ers Passing Game Coordinator Klint Kubiak (Interview)
- Seahawks OC Shane Waldron (Interview)
- Kentucky OC/QBs coach Liam Coen (Interview)
Chicago is looking to replace Luke Getsy, who was let go earlier in the week.
Coen, 38, got his start in college coaching at Brown in 2010 working with quarterbacks. He had stints at Rhode Island, UMass, Maine and Brown again before making the jump to the NFL as an assistant WR coach with the Rams in 2018.
He moved to assistant QB coach in 2020, then was hired away by Kentucky as their offensive coordinator in 2021. The Rams hired him as offensive coordinator for the 2023 season but he opted to return to Kentucky as their offensive coordinator/QBs coach.
In 2022, the Rams’ offense ranked No. 32 in total yards, No. 27 in points scored, No. 27 in rushing yards and No. 27 in passing yards.
