The Chicago Bears intend to interview Notre Dame's Marcus Freeman for their head coaching vacancy, NFL Network reported Sunday.
Freeman, of course, has more pressing matters at the moment. The head coach is guiding the seventh-seeded Fighting Irish into a clash against eighth-seeded Ohio State in the College Football Playoff national championship game on Jan. 20 in Atlanta.
Freeman owns a 33-9 coaching record with Notre Dame and sits one victory shy of leading the program to its first national championship since the 1988 season.
The 39-year-old Freeman also is no stranger to the Bears. He was selected by Chicago in the fifth round of the 2009 NFL Draft out of Ohio State.
