The Chicago Bears are in the middle of their search for a new head coach after firing Matt Nagy last week. They’ve cast a wide net of candidates for the job, ranging from former head coaches to offensive- and defensive-minded coaches. Chairman George McCaskey said they won’t be looking strictly for an offensive-minded coach to maximize quarterback Justin Fields. But if there was a standout coaching candidate who could just so happen to get the most out of Fields, it would be ideal. Perhaps that guy is Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll. Daboll is interviewing for the Bears’ head coaching job on Sunday, and he had one heck of an audition the night before. Following the Bills’ 47-17 blowout of the New England Patriots during the wild-card round on Saturday, many Bears fans were thinking about what Fields would look like in that kind of offense and with a coach who has developed a similar quarterback in Josh Allen. Safe to say, a lot of Bears fans want Daboll in Chicago.
