Offensive coordinator Adam Gase has left the Bears after one season to become head coach of the Miami Dolphins.
Gase was among the NFL’s top head-coaching candidates, also interviewing with the Browns, Eagles and Giants before agreeing to join the Dolphins.
“We did exhaustive research on all of the candidates ahead of time and conducted thorough and detailed interviews with each person,” Dolphins owner and managing general partner Stephen Ross said in a statement. “In the end, I was convinced and the search committee was unanimous Adam was the right leader for our football team who best met all of our priorities.
