Before long, it might be easier to name the top offensive coordinators whom the Bears do not want to interview.

Add two more candidates to the Bears’ search for Lovie Smith’s replacement: Houston Texans offensive coordinator Rick Dennison and Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell. The Bears received permission to interview Dennison, according to a report by ESPN, while CBS Sports reported that the Bears received permission to interview Bevell.

Dennison and Bevell have proved to be capable play-callers, but neither has head coaching experience at the NFL level. Dennison is in his third season with the Texans, while Bevell is in his second season with the Seahawks.
