| Bears Don't Let Jon Hoke Interview For Vikings' Defensive Coordinator Job | | |
For the second straight offseason, the Bears have denied an assistant coach an opportunity to become a coordinator elsewhere. The Bears on Monday declined a request by the Vikings to interview defensive backs coach Jon Hoke for their vacant defensive coordinator position on Leslie Frazier's staff. Hoke, who completed his third season on Lovie Smith's staff, has one year remaining on his contract. It is probable the Bears said no because the Vikings are an NFC North rival. But that wasn't a factor last February when the team prevented offensive line coach Mike Tice from interviewing with the Titans to become their offensive coordinator, and it's a delicate issue telling an employee he can't explore career advancement.
