Vikings quarterbacks coach Kevin Rodgers is currently at Halas Hall and is interviewing for the offensive coordinator job.

Rodgers will be the sixth candidate the Bears have attempted to make their offensive coordinator.

The Bears have had zero success in attracting a candidate for the position. Bates (Cutlers preference), Chudzinski (San Diegos's tight ends coach) and Jackson (Ravens quarterbacks coach) have all denied the offer. The Packers denied the Bears to interview quarterbacks coach Clemens who was a well-qualified candidate. Bengal's quarterbacks coach Zampese was also an intriguing candidate but the Bears did not act quick enough and decided to stay with the Bengals.

Rodgers, 58 has spent four years with the Vikings after spending 28 years coaching at the college level, most recently at Virginia Tech (2002-05), Notre Dame (1999-2001) and Syracuse (1991-98).

This season, Rodgers made a big name for himself when 40 year old Brett Favre post the best passer rating (107.2), completion percentage (68.4) and touchdown/interception ratio (33/7). (Now as much as we hate Favre, lets not give Rodgers all the credit.)

If the Bears can land the NFC North coach then I think he can help Jay Cutler to reach his potential.

Stay tuned.
