NFL insider Jay Glazer has sparked discussion by naming Atlanta Falcons head coach Arthur Smith as a potential candidate for the Chicago Bears’ head coaching position. This unexpected suggestion has raised eyebrows across the league, as Smith is currently in his third season with the Falcons.
The Bears, led by general manager Ryan Poles, are rumored to be evaluating options to replace current head coach Matt Eberflus, whose tenure has been marked by inconsistent results. Although Smith has faced his own challenges in Atlanta, Glazer’s comments highlight his offensive expertise and ability to develop quarterbacks, traits that may appeal to Chicago as they aim to maximize the potential of young QB Justin Fields.
While Arthur Smith’s Falcons have struggled for consistency this season, his innovative offensive schemes and experience building around talent like Derrick Henry during his time with the Tennessee Titans make him an intriguing prospect. The suggestion also raises questions about the Falcons’ direction under Smith and whether they would entertain such a move.
Glazer’s insight has added another layer of intrigue to the NFL coaching carousel, with other names like Jim Harbaugh and Ben Johnson also linked to the Bears’ potential search. Whether Smith genuinely becomes a contender or remains an outside suggestion, it’s clear that Chicago is leaving no stone unturned in their pursuit of a turn around.
