After a year away from the game, formers Seahawks HC Pete Carroll is set to interview with the Raiders next week for the head coach opening.

Carroll, who won a Super Bowl with the Seahawks, is scheduled to interview with the Bears on Thursday, a source said. He is one of more than a dozen coaches the Bears have requested to interview as general manager Ryan Poles seeks to do a deeper dive into the candidate pool than he did when he hired Matt Eberflus in 2022.

If Ryan Poles want to hire a veteran NFL head coach, Super Bowl champion Pete Carroll is the better candidate for the Chicago Bears than former Tennessee Titans coach Mike Vrabel.
