The Chicago Bears formally interviewed Tennessee Titans legend Eddie George for their head coaching position Sunday in Chicago. George led the Tennessee State University (TSU) Tigers to their first Big-South OVC since 1999 last fall with a 9-3 record and then a 41-27 playoff loss at Montana.

Fox Sports insider Jay Glazer reported that Tennessee State head coach Eddie George is set to interview for the Chicago Bears' head coaching position on Sunday morning. This interview marks a surprising development in the NFL coaching carousel.

Glazer revealed that the Chicago Bears will interview former NFL star running back and Tennessee Titans legend Eddie George on Sunday for their vacant head coaching position.

The Bears are expected to interview former NFL running back and current Tennessee State University coach Eddie George in person on Sunday, ESPN reported.

The Bears will interview Eddie George for their vacant head-coaching job on Sunday, according to Fox Sports' Jay Glazer. George, a Heisman Trophy winner who had more than 10,000 rushing yards in his NFL career and has been coaching at Tennessee State University, hadn't been listed as a candidate for any of the vacant NFL jobs.

George, the former Titans star running back, will be the third candidate to interview in person as Chicago ramps up its search.

Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders recently took to social media to send a message to someone who he called a "brother" and "friend," Eddie George. George, an NFL legend, was set to interview with the Chicago Bears on Sunday for the team's head coaching vacancy, per Jay Glazer .

The latest unexpected name to enter that mix came last night, when Jay Glazer shared that Eddie George had an interview set. George has spent the past four seasons turning around the program at Tennessee State, where he led the Tigers to a 9-win season this past fall at the FCS level.

He spent the month of May in Chicago before returning to Nashville heading into his third season at TSU.  George just completed his fourth season at TSU. He led the Tigers to a 9-4 record,

In the NFL, George remained a dominant force on the ground, winning Offensive Rookie of the Year with the Houston Oilers (now the Tennessee Titans) in 1996. He rushed for more than 1,000 yards in seven of his nine career seasons and made four Pro Bowl rosters, later earning induction into the Oilers/Titans Ring of Honor.

According to Jay Glazer, the Bears are interviewing Tennessee State head coach Eddie George for their head coaching vacancy on Sunday.
