The Chicago Bears interviewed Doug Pederson and Glenn Cook for their vacant coach and general manager jobs on Wednesday.

The positions opened on Monday when the Bears fired Matt Nagy and Ryan Pace.

Philadelphia won the only Super Bowl championship under Pederson. He was 42-37-1 with two division titles and three playoff appearances before he was fired.

Pederson and Nagy worked for Andy Reid in Philadelphia and Kansas City.

Cook has worked in Cleveland's front office for six years. He was the vice president of player personnel for the past two seasons and worked with the executive vice president of football operations and general manager. Cook was a scouting assistant with Indianapolis and a pro scout with Green Bay.

He was a player at the University of Miami. He was drafted by the Chicago Cubs in the 46th round in 2009, and played 34 games for their rookies that year.

The New York Giants got the 7th spot in the draft, but the Bears got it.
