Bears announce interviews with Ben Johnson, Aaron Glenn

The Bears have been eyeing the Lions in the NFC North for the last few years and part of their plan to catch them could include hiring a current member of their coaching staff.

The Bears announced Saturday that they completed interviews with Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn. Both coaches are popular names in interviews this winter.

Johnson and Glenn also interviewed the Jaguars on Sunday. Johnson previously interviewed with the Raiders and Patriots, while Glenn met with the Raiders, Saints and Jets.

Glenn declined an interview request from the Patriots, so both have completed all of their expected interviews and will now turn their attention to their current team’s first playoff game.
