Arthur Smith’s had two head coaching interviews this hiring cycle. If he lands a job, it sounds like it won’t be with the Chicago Bears. Appearing on Colin Cowherd’s The Herd Thursday, FS1’s Jordan Schultz didn’t include Smith on the short-list of favorites for the Chicago job.
“For all intents and purposes, the Chicago job, and I haven’t said this publicly, it is a two-horse race between Mike McCarthy and Ben Johnson,” Schultz told Cowherd. “I think if Brian Flores goes in and wows them, he is still in that mix. But right now, I think McCarthy and I think Ben Johnson are the two leading candidates for Chicago.
