Bears have plan for next head coach: Chicago pinpoints this criteria and one surprising name could be in mix

Some big names could be in the mix in Chicago

The Chicago Bears have an open head-coaching position. And there's a certain type of coach the storied franchise plans to hire.

Multiple sources tell CBS Sports the Bears want to land a "leader of men" type of head coach. Their background on offense or defense won't matter as much as their leadership abilities with a group of pro athletes in one of the largest media markets in America.

"They need to resemble the attributes of what Chicago stands for," said one source, adding the coach will need to be battle-tested and mentally strong to be seriously considered for the job.
