Report: Bears Will Interview Todd Bowles On Saturday

(CBS) The Bears will indeed sit down for interviews with the three targets they initially zeroed in on for their vacant coaching job.

Chicago will interview Arizona defensive coordinator Todd Bowles on Saturday, according to ESPN's Josina Anderson. Bowles is the third known coaching candidate that Chicago will sit down with. The Bears confirmed over the weekend that they've already interviewed Broncos offensive coordinator Adam Gase and Seahawks defensive coordinator Dan Quinn.

The Bears will have plenty of competition for the 51-year-old Bowles, who oversaw the league's fifth-ranked scoring defense this past season. He's also set to interview with the Jets on Wednesday, the Falcons on Thursday and the 49ers on Friday, Anderson reported.

Bowles has been in Arizona for the past two seasons after previously serving as the defensive backs coach in Philadelphia. He was an interim coach in Miami in 2011 after Tony Sparano was fired, going 2-1 in the short stint.

Before the Bears sit down with Bowles, they'll hold at least two -- and possibly more -- general manager interviews. Chicago will meet with Tennessee vice president of player personnel Lake Dawson on Tuesday and Kansas City director of pro personnel Chris Ballard on Wednesday. Houston pro personnel director Brian Gaine will interview with the Bears too, the Sun-Times reported Monday, though an exact time isn't yet known.
