Olson, 60, is the current quarterbacks coach for the Seahawks. He was the former quarterbacks coach for the Bears, in fact, in 2003. He's been in the NFL coaching sphere since 2001 with a wealth of experience.
He's been an offensive coordinator before. He led the offense for the Detroit Lions (2004-05), St. Louis Rams (2006-07), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2009-11), Oakland Raiders (2013-14), Jacksonville Jaguars (2015-16) and the Las Vegas Raiders (second stint; 2018-21).
The Bears have interviewed, reportedly, three other candidates for the offensive coordinator position. They've interviewed Shane Waldron --- a coworker of Olson's --- Klint Kubiak and Leon Coen.
