"The Chicago Bears want to interview Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman for their head coaching position, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Notre Dame is preparing to play Ohio State in the College Football Playoff National Championship game on January 20, delaying any potential interview. Freeman has led Notre Dame to a 14-1 record this season and is viewed as a legitimate candidate by the Bears after extensive research. Despite Freeman's defensive background, his leadership at Notre Dame has sparked interest from the Bears as they rebuild after a 5-12 season."
