With the regular season in the rearview mirror, the Chicago Bears have turned their focus toward a coaching search that will be one of the most significant processes in team history. The Bears have heavy lifting ahead to close the gap on three division rivals who qualified for the playoffs.

The Chicago Bears are conducting their search for a new head coach, and it's already been an expansive one that's included double-digit candidates. The candidates range from up-and-coming coordinators to former head coaches to offensive minds to defensive minds.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Bears have requested to interview Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady for their head coach job. While Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson has been the popular pick for Chicago, Brady is certainly the dark horse when considering what he's done in Buffalo.
