Bears announce head coach interview with Drew Petzing

The Bears have officially spoken to another candidate to be their next coach.

Chicago announced Thursday morning that the club has completed an interview with Arizona offensive coordinator Drew Betzing.

Betzing, 37, was the Cardinals’ captain the past two seasons under coach Jonathan Gannon. Arizona improved from No. 19 in yards and No. 24 in points in 2023 to No. 11 in yards and No. 12 in points in 2024.

A longtime Vikings assistant, Betzing came with Kevin Stefanski from Minnesota to Cleveland in 2020 to serve as tight ends coach. He was also the quarterbacks coach in 2022 before leaving for Arizona.
