Athe Bears play the waiting game with Vic Fangio to determine if he’s in or out as the team’s defensive coordinator,Womens Leonard Williams Jersey, it’s worth wondering what the timeline will be for a decision.
Fangio is out of contract after three seasons with the organization and he wants to ensure his choice of teams is the one that serves him best. The Bears certainly want Fangio to return after the improvements that have been made,Womens Joe Namath Jersey, especially in 2017 when the team ranked 10th in total defense despite weathering significant injuries.
There was risk in losing Fangio when the Bears chose Matt Nagy as their head coach on Monday,Authentic Howie Long Jersey, five days after Fangio was given the first of six interviews for the job. There was no guarantee the team would be able to retain Fangio and the Bears remain in limbo as to what direction they will take defensively under Nagy.

Gus Bradley was viewed as a top candidate as defensive coordinator for the Bears if Fangio were to leave but he’s no longer an option after re-signing with the Chargers. Vikings defensive coordinator George Edwards,Authentic Joe Namath Jersey,is considered a possibility and he is coming out of contract. A source said Cardinals defensive coordinator James Bettcher would be interested in talking to the Bears if the Cardinals don’t promote him to head coach.
