The Chicago Bears are set to hire John Fox as their next head coach just days after he parted ways with the Denver Broncos, according to reports Friday.

Sources told ESPN that a deal with Fox, who first interviewed with the Bears on Wednesday, is “all but done.”

Fox, 59, mutually parted ways with Denver on Monday — one day after the Broncos were bounced from the divisional round by the Indianapolis Colts, losing 24-13. It was the second time in three years that Fox’s Broncos had been knocked out in their first playoff game. In between, they reached the Super Bowl, where they were blown out by the Seattle Seahawks 43-8.

Fox went 46-18 and won four straight AFC West titles with the Broncos, but was unable to win a Super Bowl with Peyton Manning and a record-setting offense.

Before Denver, Fox was head coach of the Carolina Panthers for nine years from 2002 to 2010. He went 78-74 overall with the Panthers, including another Super Bowl runner-up appearance.

The Bears fired coach Marc Trestman and general manager Phil Emery after a 5-11 season. The team hired 37-year-old Ryan Pace, the New Orleans Saints’ director of pro personnel, to replace Emery last week.

The Bears also interviewed former Buffalo Bills head coach Doug Marrone, Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Teryl Austin, Denver offensive coordinator Adam Gase and Seattle defensive coordinator Dan Quinn.
