In one of the least shocking events of the day, Mike Tice was named Chicago Bears offensive coordinator. Last season, the Tennessee Titans were denied the opportunity to interview Tice for the same position.

Before the Green Bay Packers and Vince Lombardi, it was the Chicago Bears who were Kings of professional football. Long before the Steelers, Cowboys, 49ers and Packers were winning multiple Super Bowl's, the Chicago Bears were dominating football to the tune of eight NFL Championships pre-merger.
