Sources: Adam Gase to meet with Bears
January, 20, 2015

Highly sought-after Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Adam Gase, who interviewed for the Bears' head-coaching vacancy during Denver’s bye week in the first round of the playoffs, is scheduled to fly to Chicago Wednesday morning to meet with Chicago Bears coach John Fox about the team's offensive coordinator job, sources close to the situation tell ESPN.
It is more likely than not the two coaches will reunite with the same role Gase had the past two seasons after Gase was promoted by Fox as Denver's offensive coordinator in 2013, sources said.
Gase, who interviewed for the head-coaching vacancies in Denver, San Francisco and Buffalo, also met with the Baltimore Ravens on Monday about their offensive coordinator opening before Baltimore named former Bears head coach Marc Trestman to the position. Gase also has received interest from the Raiders, Rams and Jacksonville Jaguars.
Gase is still considered to be in the mix for the 49ers and Rams. The Rams had reached out to Gase last week but have so far been unable to secure an interview, a source said. They reached out to Gase again over the weekend and again on Tuesday night after Gase didn't land coordinator jobs in Baltimore or Jacksonville.

Probably not.
Looking at the talent on paper Chicago is the best position to go to it would seem.

I relish next year's home game vs the Bears and hope GDub's defense eats Jay Cutler.
Gase can suck it.

Could Rams end up in mix for Adam Gase?
By Nick Wagoner

EARTH CITY, Mo. -- When the St. Louis Rams first expressed interest in interviewing Adam Gase for their offensive coordinator job last week, I wrote that some things would need to change for them to have a real chance to hire him.
Essentially, other dominoes would need to fall without Gase's involvement for the Rams to get an opportunity. Well, less than a week later things are a changing.
The biggest hurdle for the Rams getting a shot at Adam Gase is the Chicago Bears.
Since that time, the Atlanta Falcons opted to go with Kyle Shanahan for their offensive coordinator job, the Denver Broncos hired Gary Kubiak as head coach (and Rick Dennison as offensive coordinator), the Jacksonville Jaguars are expected to hire Greg Olson for their opening and the Baltimore Ravens selected Marc Trestman to run their offense.
All of which leaves Gase with fewer options than he had at the start of this process when he was a prime candidate to become a head coach, let alone remain as a coordinator. But here in St. Louis, the Rams are an option that lingers on the table.
Which begs the question of whether the Rams might get a chance to bring Gase into the fold? To this point, they have been unable to secure an interview with Gase but that hasn't prevented them from continuing their pursuit. A source said the Rams reached out to Gase again Tuesday night after he returned to Denver from his interview with the Ravens. The San Francisco 49ers also have continued chasing Gase aggressively for their coordinator job.
But there's still one clearly significant hurdle the Rams would need Gase to clear before they would have a shot. That hurdle comes in the form of the Chicago Bears. The Bears have an obvious connection to Gase that can't be ignored. Chicago hired John Fox as head coach, the same head coach Gase worked for most recently in Denver.
The Bears still have an opening for a coordinator and Gase is already familiar with the Bears after interviewing for their head coaching job before they hired Fox. Gase is expected to fly to Chicago on Wednesday to meet with Fox and discuss the job.
It would come as a surprise if Gase were to leave Chicago without becoming the new offensive coordinator but then again, it's a surprise that he's even still available this late in the game. If, for some reason, Gase and the Bears were unable to come to an agreement, the Rams would likely become a serious factor in the chase for his services.
In the meantime, the Rams sought interviews earlier this week with Indianapolis special assistant Rob Chudzinski and Green Bay quarterbacks coach Alex Van Pelt but so far have not received permission to talk to either. They had earlier expressed interest in Greg Roman and Kyle Shanahan but Roman took the coordinator job in Buffalo and Shanahan did the same in Atlanta.
As for Gase, what once seemed like a long shot is probably still best categorized as such but it's not as far off as it was just six days ago.
