Bears Request To Interview Anthony Weaver For Head-Coaching Job
2 days agoThe Chicago Bears have put in a formal request to interview Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver for their head-coaching position. Weaver just finished his first season with the Dolphins and spent the previous three years on John Harbaugh's staff with the Baltimore Ravens. The Bears believe Weaver could be a "leader of men" type that they are searching for to change the culture in the Bears' locker room moving forward. The 43-year-old has been described as "high energy" and "emotionally intelligent" while also holding players accountable. He interviewed for the Washington Commanders' head-coaching job last year and was a finalist for the spot before Dan Quinn was eventually hired. While leading the Dolphins' defense in 2024, Miami's unit ended up being a top-five defense.
