Part 4/7:
Alongside Johnson, the Bears have reached out to other candidates, including Aaron Glenn, the Lions' defensive coordinator. While Glenn has faced challenges with performance inconsistencies in his defensive unit, he has garnered respect in NFL circles for his leadership skills. However, the Bears’ critical need for offensive innovation may not align perfectly with Glenn's defensive focus.
Additionally, the team has shown interest in Anthony Weaver, the current Dolphins defensive coordinator, whose defense ranked highly in multiple categories this past season. Despite his promising potential, some analysts believe he may lack the experience necessary to step directly into a head coach role.
