The Chicago Bears have requested to interview Arizona Cardinals quarterbacks coach Israel Woolfork for their offensive coordinator job, according to CBS NFL insider Jonathan Jones.
The news comes after the Bears hired former Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson as their new head coach this week.
Prior to the hiring of Johnson, the Bears interviewed several candidates, including Cardinals offensive coordinator Drew Petzing and former Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll, the latter of whom was reportedly hired by the Las Vegas Raiders as their new head coach on Friday.
