As the Bears plod through interviews with a list of 20 head-coaching candidates, little is clear other than this is probably going to take a while.
The search continued Wednesday as the Bears interviewed Steelers offensive coordinator and former Falcons coach Arthur Smith virtually and flew in longtime Packers and Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy on a private jet for an in-person interview, a source said.
That would push the number of interviews to 12, and the Bears still haven’t talked to obvious contenders like Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores and Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury.
