Rivera spent his entire nine-year playing career with the Bears and was part of their Super Bowl XX champions in 1985. He began his coaching career in Chicago as a quality control

The Chicago Tribune reports the Bears are expected to interview Ron Rivera for their open head coaching position, according to NFL sources. Rivera, 63, played nine seasons at linebacker for the Bears from 1984-92 and was a member of the famed defense that propelled the team to the Super Bowl XX title in the 1985 season.

Mike Vrabel snagged the first interview with the Bears last week, but it came as no surprise that he is going back to the New England Patriots as their head coach.
