Sean McDermott was there at the Bears-Titans joint practice. He spent time with Ben Johnson. Multiple reports say the Bears could be looking at him for a advisor post on defense. Sports Illustrated, Bleacher Nation, and Yahoo Sports all covered this. Bears fans have shown interest in having him on the coaching staff. No formal move has been made. No hire is locked in. As of now, it is just rumor. The team has not said anything publicly. McDermott used to be the Bills head coach. He has a lengthy coaching background. Whether that leads to a role in Chicago is still unsettled.
