The Patriots have interviewed a Chicago Bears coach for the offensive coordinator job, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

The Chicago Bears took a unique approach when interviewing Mike McCarthy for their head coaching position, setting it apart from other candidate interviews.

Two weeks ago, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported that McCarthy "could set his sights on Chicago." It was apparently mutual after the Bears requested an interview with McCarthy while he was still under contract by the Cowboys, who denied the request. After Dallas and McCarthy decided to part ways, it didn't take long for Chicago to set up an interview.

A surprising under-the-radar candidate is gaining traction as a potential wild-card hire in the Chicago Bears' head coaching search.

The Chicago Bears were selective about who they brought to Halas Hall for the first round of interviews. Ron Rivera and Mike McCarthy met with the Bears in person.

The Chicago Bears are in the middle of their head coach search, which has cast a wide net of candidates that include rising coordinators, former head coaches and college coaches.
