Bears offensive and defensive coordinator tracker: Who's interviewed?

The Chicago Bears introduced Ben Johnson as their new head coach on Wednesday, and the focus has now shifted to Johnson building his coaching staff.

Johnson preached the importance of surrounding himself with experienced coaches that he can lean on, and he's going to use his own experience to help mold a staff he can trust.

"That's going to be a critical part of our success," Johnson said of his coaching staff. "I really believe that we're going to be able to find some great candidates out there that, that want to come to Chicago for a number of reasons. They will be able to help guide and show me the way."

With Richard Hightower expected to be retained as special teams coordinator, Johnson is looking to fill the offensive and defensive coordinator roles. Here's a look at those who have interviewed or have been requested to interview for offensive and defensive coordinator.
