The Bears are expected to interview Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Mike Sullivan, according to a league source.
Sullivan earned his reputation coaching New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning during two of his best seasons, including one that culminated in his Super Bowl XLVI MVP honors.
Sullivan has two Super Bowl rings with the Giants.
In Tampa, he helped the rebound of Josh Freeman.
The Bears also have lined up an interview with Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy and Atlanta Falcons special teams coordinator Keith Armstrong.
