Bears requested an interview with Cardinals pass game specialist Connor Senger for their offensive coordinator vacancy.

03 February 2026

Baltimore poached Bears OC Declan Doyle for the same role, leaving Ben Johnson in need of a new right-hand man. Senger spent a few years as a coach in the lower levels of college football before joining the Cardinals for four seasons. He was promoted to passing game coordinator in 2025. The Cardinals finished the season seventh in passing yards per game, though they sat at 20th in EPA per play. Senger would be a surprising hire, but Johnson’s immediate success in Chicago has earned him the right to make unconventional hires.
