Pixote Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Bears interested in Tennessee's Jim Chaney? January 9, 2010 10:21 AM Staff report WGN-AM 720 and the Tribune's David Kaplan is [reporting](http://www.chicagonow.com/blogs/david-kapl...inator-job.html) that sources tell him the Bears have interest in University of Tennessee offensive coordinator Jim Chaney for one of their open positions, though earlier reports that he had interviewed with the team have not been confirmed. Prior to becoming the Vols' offensive coordinator last season (he's also the tight ends coach), he spent the previous three seasons as assistant coach for the St. Louis Rams coaching the offensive line. He also coached the Rams' tight ends. Chaney has also coached at Purdue (where he coached Saints quarterback Drew Brees and former Bears quarterback Kyle Orton) and Wyoming, schools with prolific offenses in that time. While Chaney reportedly has talked with the Bears about the coordinator job, his lack of NFL coordinating experience could limit his chances for that role with the Bears. He could certainly fill the tight end coaching vacancy that opened when the Bears dismissed Rob Boras, as well as coaching the offensive line. Brad Biggs contributed.
