Bears DC Vic Fangio: I'd certainly listen to head coach offers

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Fifty-seven-year-old Vic Fangio said Wednesday he still has interest in interviewing for head coaching jobs after spending a decade and a half coordinating NFL defenses.

“If the right opportunity and people were interested, yeah, I’d certainly listen,” Fangio said. “But like I’ve always said, these are their jobs and they [other teams] have their minds set on what they want. If I happened to fit that mold and what they’re looking for, that would be great.”

Hired by the Chicago Bears on Jan. 20, Fangio is largely responsible for the team’s turnaround on defense.
