Chicago, IL – The Chicago Bears have made a major move in their coaching search, announcing today that NFL Hall of Famer Mike Singletary will take over as the team’s Head
Coach for the 2025 season. Singletary, one of the most iconic figures in Bears history, brings over three decades of football experience to the position. Known for his leadership, intensity, and
exceptional football IQ, Singletary was a cornerstone of the Bears’ legendary defense during their 1985 Super Bowl-winning campaign.
He played 12 seasons with the team and was a pivotal part of their defense that became one of the most dominant in NFL history.
After his playing career, Singletary transitioned into coaching, with stints at both the NFL and college levels. His most notable coaching tenure
was as the Head Coach of the San Francisco 49ers from 2008 to 2010, where he earned recognition for his motivational leadership and strong defensive mind.
“Mike Singletary is a true legend and an embodiment of the Chicago Bears’ tradition,” said Bears General Manager Ryan Poles. “His
commitment to excellence and passion for the game will be invaluable in guiding our team toward a new era of success. We believe Mike is the right leader to help us build a championship
contender.” Singletary’s appointment marks a significant shift for the Bears, who have undergone a rebuilding phase in recent years. The team is hopeful that Singletary’s leadership
and experience will not only improve the Bears’ defensive play but also bring the necessary mindset and discipline to elevate the entire roster.
“I’m honored and excited to return to the Bears organization,” said Singletary in a statement. “This team has always had a special place in my
heart, and I’m ready to help them take the next step toward greatness. It’s about building a culture of toughness, discipline, and resilience —
the same principles that have made this franchise so storied.” Singletary will officially take over the head coaching duties in 2025, with the
team expected to begin preparing for the upcoming season. Fans and analysts alike are eager to see how the legendary linebacker will shape the future of the Bears as they look to return to their championship roots.
