Report: Kingsbury to interview for Bears' OC job

Former Arizona Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury is expected to interview for the Chicago Bears' vacancy at offensive coordinator, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Kingsbury is a senior offensive analyst and quarterbacks coach at USC, the home of Caleb Williams. The star passer is the favorite to be the Bears' selection at No. 1 overall in April's draft.

Chicago fired former OC Luke Getsy on Jan. 10 after two seasons.

Kingsbury spent four seasons in charge of the Cardinals after six years at Texas Tech, compiling a 28-37-1 record and one playoff appearance. Arizona fired him following the 2022 campaign and he returned to the collegiate ranks with the Trojans for 2023.

Chicago owns the top pick thanks to a trade with the Carolina Panthers last offseason. The franchise could draft Williams or decide to stick with former first-round selection Justin Fields. North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye is viewed as Williams' main competition to be the first overall pick.

Williams' production dipped in 2023 after his Heisman-winning 2022 season. He threw for 3,633 yards and 30 touchdowns against five interceptions while USC finished with a disappointing 8-5 record.

The Bears, who opted to keep head coach Matt Eberflus for 2024, have cast a wide net in search of a new leader on offense.
