Chicago Bears' list of head-coaching candidates comes into focus

The candidates we know about thus far include one holdover from John Fox's staff, one former NFL head coach and more of a bent toward the offensive side of the football. GM Ryan Pace confirmed Monday that he's heading up the search following the firing of Fox after three seasons at the helm.

On Wednesday, Bears defensive coordinator Vic Fangio interviewed for his one-time boss' head-coaching spot. Whether or not it's a token courtesy to the well-respected Fangio or if he's a legitimate candidate is unclear. His contract might be expiring, but the Bears reportedly would be interested in keeping Fangio around — even if he doesn't get the head job.
