The Chicago Bears have completed an interview with interim head coach Thomas Brown for their head coach vacancy, the team announced Monday. It marked the team's ninth interview in the first round of the coaching search.

Brown is the ninth candidate to interview with general manager Ryan Poles, president Kevin Warren, chairman George McCaskey and the search committee.

The pile of head coaching candidates on the Chicago Bears’ interview list seems to grow by the day. Or the hour. Or the minute. If it’s not Pete Carroll, it’s Drew Petzing. If it’s not Petzing, it’s Mike Kafka.
