Vikes assistants Singletary, Priefer on Bears list

Posted January 08, 2013 on AP on Fox
PLAYERS: Leslie Frazier,  Lovie Smith,  Ryan Longwell,  Blair Walsh
TEAMS: Minnesota Vikings,  Chicago Bears
Minnesota-vikings
Minnesota assistants Mike Singletary and Mike Priefer will interview for the Chicago head coaching vacancy. Vikings coach Leslie Frazier confirmed Tuesday that the Bears made the request. There are at least 10 other coaches reported to be under consideration to replace the fired Lovie Smith in Chicago. After an unsuccessful stint as coach of the San Francisco 49ers, Singletary was hired by his former Bears teammate Frazier to be a linebackers coach and a special assistant. He's been with the Vikings for two years. Priefer has completed two seasons as special teams coordinator, helping steer the organization's decision to cut veteran kicker Ryan Longwell and draft Blair Walsh, who made the Pro Bowl as a rookie this year.
