Bears safety Jaquan Brisker wants an offensive-minded head coach

The Chicago Bears are in the middle of their head coach search, which has included a wide-ranging list of candidates with various offensive, defensive, collegiate and professional experience.

There's been plenty of discussion about what the Bears should be looking for in a head coach -- from media to fans to players, including safety Jaquan Brisker, who had a surprising answer considering he plays on defense.

"The best," Brisker wrote on X (formerly Twitter). "But I would prefer offensive coach. So when we dominate and win he stay."

According to NFL insiders, Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and former Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy have emerged as the two frontrunners for the Bears' head coach job. Both fall under the "offensive coach" category and have done a good job developing quarterbacks, which is what Brisker would prefer.

Brisker's teammate, quarterback Caleb Williams, even admitted he'd prefer an offensive-minded head coach that he build with for the foreseeable future.

"Strong-minded, a leader of men," Williams said on the St. Brown Podcast. "Selfishly, I want an offensive-minded guy so I can build with him and be with that coach for the next 19, 17, 15 years, so I can also learn and grow from him and what he's seen, that's selfishly. If we get an overall grand scheme coach who is good time management, the clock, helping control the game, helping find the right guys to win championships, that's my only goal."

With the Lions being eliminated from the playoffs, the Bears coaching search is expected to heat up this week. They've interviewed 17 candidates in the first round, and they'll now bring in finalists for a second interview and could make the hire as soon as this week.
