Former Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Tice is being promoted to offensive coordinator for the Bears. Tice was an offensive line coach for Chicago and replaces Mike Martz, who resigned after the team did not make the playoffs.

Mike Tice will not be interviewing for the Oakland Raiders head coaching job. Reports last week indicated that Tice was lined up for an interview, but the Raiders have narrowed their search, and Tice is no longer on the list. Tice says he is disappointed, but believes things happen for a reason.

Former Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Tice tells the Chicago Tribune he's using humor to relate to quarterback Jay Cutler at training camp. Tice was promoted to to offensive coordinator for the Chicago Bears in January.

Ex-Vikings coach Mike Tice has a high-profile job with the Chicago Bears this year, as he was promoted to offensive coordinator. He tells the Chicago Tribune now that he's older and wiser, he knows how to "go about setting a plan and going and working that plan to become successful as an offense."

The Chicago Bears have denied the Vikings permission to interview their defensive backs coach for their defensive coordinator position. According to the Chicago Tribune, Leslie Frazier wanted to talk with Jon Hoke about the job, but the Bears wouldn't allow it. Hoke still has a year left on his contract.

Oakland Raiders coach Hue Jackson says he felt the penalties called against his team during the game with the Vikings were "unfair." The Raiders were flagged 12 times for 117 yards. Jackson says when it comes to tackling or hitting, he doesn't "even know what football is right now."
