Thirteen days after a Santa Splash! report that Pete Carroll is interested in the Bears, the Bears are interested in Carroll.

Carroll, 73, coached the Jets, Patriots, and Seahawks. He worked in Seattle for 14 years, winning one Super Bowl and going to another one.

Chicago’s interview list includes Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn, Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver, Cardinals offensive coordinator Drew Petzing, Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores, Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken, Giants assistant head coach and offensive coordinator Mike Kafka, and former Titans head coach Mike Vrabel.
