Bears Turn Down Vikings Request

By Adam Warwas

Perhaps the Chicago Bears are also tired of the Vikings long, drawn out search for a new Defensive Coordinator.

Jeremy Fowly of Vikings Now reports that the Bears denied a Vikings request to interview their defensive backs coach, Jon Hoke, for their currently vacant Defensive Coordinator position.

Hoke has a Tampa-2 background which is yet another indication that Leslie Frazier would like to continue to employ a 4-3 defense and that Mike Singletary is unlikely to get the gig.

Five of those years have been here at Vikings Territory where he continues to surround himself with enough talented individuals that people keep coming back. As proud as he is of what Vikings Territory has become, his real treasures are in his home... a beautiful wife and three amazing children (and a dog named Percy).

This is getting ugly... Looks like Frazier is either being incredibly thorough or nobody wants to be associated with this team.

I'm afraid this is giving a good indication of what coaches around the league think of Frazier and the organization

My worst fear is we'll end up with Singletary as our DC. Scary thought.
